... The next step after demonstrating the module’s functionality is developing your own communication with the module. This can be achieved with simple code on a microcontroller or using the SkyeTek API on a PC. Once connected to a host through one of the four host interfaces, the reader to host communication is formatted with a full featured protocol called SkyeTek Protovol v3. In order to make learning commands and formatting easy, we have developed a series of application notes with examples to get you started ...
