You need to set services.pcscd.enable = true; for the smartcard reader to work
|
||||
#### Config:
|
||||
|
||||
Issues:
|
||||
Nixos config for the card reader:
|
||||
```
|
||||
services.pcscd = {
|
||||
enable = true;
|
||||
plugins = [ pkgs.acsccid ]; #<-- Needed for the ACE1552U
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This application is configured using env vars. You can use `cp .env.example .env` and then edit `.env` to change the keys to something else.

### A note on keycard scanners
|
||||
I have tried two scanners while developing this project, the TWN4 MultiTech 2 from elatec and the ACR1552U from acs.<br>
|
||||
##### TWN4
|
||||
From the factory the TWN4 comes with firmware that emulates a HID and just inputs the serial of any scanned card. To be usable with pcscd it had to be flashed with the `TWN4_xPx520_S1SC161_Multi_CCID_1Slot_Standard.bix` firmware found in the `TWN4DevPack520` which can be downloaded under https://www.elatec-rfid.com/int/elatec-software (They send you a download link via email).
|
||||
This software seems to not work under wine. I had to setup a win10 vm and pass the usb to be able to flash.<br>
|
||||
Range: In my testing the TWN4 has a range of about 22mm when interfacing with our Mifare DESFire v2 cards. This is not enough for our idea of mounting the scanner on the inside of a glass window.
|
||||
|
||||
#### ACR1552U
|
||||
The ACR1552U comes preloaded with PC/SC firmware. You need to install the acsccid package with your package-manager of choice (Nixos user see above) for the scanner to work but after that I had no problems with the hardware interfacing.<br>
|
||||
Range: The range of the ACR1552U was much better at over 60mm (almost 70mm if you take of the face plate)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### Issues:
|
||||
- documentation missing
|
||||
- `nix run` currently broken
|
||||
- raspberry pi image not working
|
||||
- no door state
|
||||
- no door operations
