Jaycar will sell you the socket for those cards, but you still need to build an interface for them and make a programme to talk to the card.

Have a look at the PicAxe. It talks serial, and it can write and read to the EEPROM locations which aren't used for your programme tokenised code.

334340 2007-08-30 16:25:00 I have several GemPlus card readers which I can let go for cheap. 5 x GemPC Serial-SW and 1 X GPR400. I have also got a program made in VB that you can read / write to the smart cards. dsnz (7600)
334341 2007-08-31 06:35:00 I mainly just want to play around with the, and see how i can use them to build a secured door. I built a thing lastnight that lit up a led when a usb stick was insterted.

George:
Would the eftpos things be able to read the card, and then you enter a pin?

Thanks
Daniel
Why not buy a door controller?
