This is an Arduino library to support one specific RS485 RFID reader. There isn't much information about this model, so we include a complete datasheet and communication protocol specifications. You can find them here.
This library supports synchronous (blocking) API and asynchronous (non-blocking) API. The main reason is that often synchronous API is easier to use and due to its simplicity, it's better while writing and debugging a test code. For production code we recommend using async API.
Switching to async mode is really easy! Just follow these steps:
- Install TaskManagerIO library. It's also listed as an (optional) dependency of this package.
- Modify your script accordingly:
#include <TaskManagerIO.h>
// Enable async mode. If you're using PlatformIO, you can define this as a build flag.
#define USE_ASYNC_IO
void setup() {
...
}
void loop() {
# Call taskManager regularly in a loop.
taskManager.runLoop();
}Besides these changes, the API is identical to the synchronous one. All the heavy work is handled by the libraries behind the scenes. You can also take a look at the async example.
