| <h1>Paxton Fob Conversion</h1> | |
| <p> | |
| This page can be used to convert the data on a paxton fob to a 8 byte id suitable for emulating as a EM41X id and vice versa. It was written by natmchugh https://github.com/natmchugh. It uses only client side JavaScript and so you can use the page here or save it and run it locally, enjoy! | |

Hi @natmchugh Thank you for your contribution. Could you help to get any Paxton python SDK? I am trying to read RFID tags using Paxton p75 reader .
Hi @natmchugh Thank you for your contribution. Could you help to get any Paxton python SDK? I am trying to read RFID tags using Paxton p75 reader .
AFAIK the P75 reader is made to be plugged into a paxton board and speaks a proprietary protocol . However I believe you can get them to speak the common Wiegand protocol with an activation card. There will be stuff in python for understanding Wiegand.
Hi @natmchugh appreciate your quick response. I am trying read using Wiegand protocol but instead of response page 4 or 5 , m receiving 8 characters string like 'F33C9E67'. here is code https://github.com/Rajan244/RFID/blob/main/wiegand.py ,
- how could received the response with page 4 - 5 ?
- what is the role of activation card here ?
many thanks.
At a guess the string F33C9E67 converts to paxton id 4080836199 which you can convert to here https://badcfe.org/paxton-covert to Page 4 90441132
Page 5 c1ce7f0006
Thank you for comment @natmchugh, actually the tag contains 29714856 value, don't know how can I fetch direct id/page 4-5/ hex.
