| We have: | |
| - A NFC card reader that presents as a USB keyboard | |
| - A raspberry pi with wifi | |
| What we want to do: | |
| Have a standalone network enabled card reader. | |
| Requirements: | |
| - Can only use the above components | |
| - Must boot, notify webservice its ready and conduct reads without a screen or mouse connected | |
| - May allow for some kind of additional output device to notify its ready but reader beeps on read. | |
| Ideas on how welcome. |

Set it up with latest Debian.
Run a Python script on startup (or Ruby etc).
Script should continually listen and then react on string termination character (I assume the reader issues CR or similar once read)?
From the script, issue a GET/POST with the input from the scanner.
