Is this yet another dead wish ????

There are two kind of wishes:
1. Improvement in compilers/IDE- These ones are solved as soon as possible and are of a highest priority
2. Wishes for examples/libraries. Generally, we tend not to write code for others, but if there is a large request then we meet the requirements. This was the case for Toshiba GLCD, SPI LCD, multiple PWM and other requests. However, if you are the only one to wish something, you will wait long before the implementation. Also, if your wish for something simple which is a combination of setting a couple of registers, or calling already existing functions with specific parameters, then you will also have to wait.

Now, let us know what is the interface to a magnetic card. Is it spi, I2C or something else. Which type of card you recommend? Please be more specific.

Hi mbruck,
Read data from a magnetic card "clock/data, card present" interface.....

Have you ever tried to write your own library. It is really not that difficult and I think it will be simple to get the data from a magnetic card. I'm not saying this arrogantly.

Google is really the second best thing it the world (first is mikroPascal) and I'm sure you will find everything you need there.

PortA not working? Add CMCON := 7; PortD not working? Add ADCON1 := 6;
