For a little clarity on my setup,
First I had the module hooked up to my Arduino and was just using softserial
to read the input information, and relay it back to my terminal.
After that didn’t work I decided to eliminate the processor from the equation and
hooked the RFID module directly to the FTDI chip for hardware RS232->usb.
That ended in the same result.
So lastly I’ve been playing around a bit with aggressively polling the input from the module
with the Arduino and it seems to be giving me some sort of data, but I haven’t
had time to really look into it any further.
I’ll let you know if I get to figuring anything out.
Thank you very much for looking into it.
