PydgetRFID

PhidgetRFID and Windows

Asked by slick1991

Is there any way to get the PydgetRFID to work on Windows? I am trying to write a Python function to get the ID of an RFID tag using the PhidgetRFID kit.

Not without using libusb/libhid and libphidgets on Windows (extra libraries you need to install).

Phidgets. Inc. have their own Windows libraries:

Maybe you can use ctypes like I did, but call in to the Windows C libraries of Phidgets. Inc. instead of into libphidgets?

Can you help with this problem?
