Mag Card Reader

[Melanie]

There's a link to the Magcard program at the start of this thread.

The net result of that program is a buffer (byte array) full of data. It's now up to you to do what you want with it. Storing it in EEPROM is a simple matter (give it a go), but ultimately it depends on your application.

I will add that if you are using ATMEL parts, you're in the wrong forum.

> I do not know anything with the programming, and to learn I need source code Of a program which manages the external eeprom

You are on a PICBasic forum, and posting in the PicBasicPro section. By that we all assume you have that compiler. If you have the program then you will have the manual (the manual is also freely downloadable from the manufacturers website). In the manual you will find commands I2CREAD and I2CWRITE, once you find those, then the rest is self explanitory.

> but I cannot make the modification.

Then you have a problem, because people here, though willing to help, are unlikely to write your application for you. That requires some effort on your part...

Dear paulPIC

I'm wondering how those schematics get into your hands and why are you rushing to get that "device" running ,before you even know how a microcontroller work !
Here's a friendly advice :
Start with PIC MICROCONTROLLERS --- AN INTRODUCTION TO MICROELECTRONICS by MARTIN BATES .
It's a book for people without any ideea about programming ! Exactly as you are . If you read that book ,you will get a basic understanding of what you need to know ,to become ,with a lot of work , a programming guru !
Good Luck!

P.S. what you got there is a portable magnetic reader,with a key pad to issue specific commands to the controller and serial communication to retrieve the stored data in the external eeprom!nice work

A word of caution, developing Mag-Card Readers with Memory, Keypad and PC interfaces can have consequences - like jail time, for participating in Credit Card fraud. Unless it's being developed for a bona-fide company with a contract written in blood, this is something I would steer well away from.
