Filemaker print and write and read contactless mifare 1k
I have a fm database for doing printing on PVC card. I was given a new task.
customer upgrading their requirement to use contactless mifare 1k to write their data and obcourse to read back.
thats mean i need a read/write usb contactless encoder/writer which works on FM to do so.
is it any freinds here able to do before and shared. i prefer to use desktop version and not IOS.
Thanks in advance

hi
thanks for the reply. i prefer not to use keyboard emulation usb writer to
write data into contactless card. user will hit a button manually to write.
same device are used to read and to write data.
encode button to write and verify button to read.
it is pretty enough if i can use single script (button) to do both process
in one go.
the idea is the end user can choose to print and to write only single
record or in batch printing/encoding by using the loop print script
please correct if i were wrong.
tq

Keyboard Emulation would be used to read data from the card, not to write to it.
Bar code scanners, Mag stripe readers and RFID chip readers all usually function in keyboard emulation mode to read the encoded data which then is input as plain text into the software set up to "read" the data. This can be as simple as putting the cursor in a Filemaker field and waving the card past the reader if it functions in this mode. IF that works, it can usually be modified to make reading the data and processing that data once read fully automatic--provided that you can configure the reader to add some "keystrokes" to appear before and after the scanned data--which can then trip the needed script triggers.
Writing data to the card would be by different means and I am no sufficiently familiar with the technology to be able to suggest a way to do that. If the card's memory mounts on the computer like you see when you plug in a USB stick, then export records or export field contents might serve to write data to that card. But I do not know if this is how this work for such a card so that's only a theoretical possibility.
im sorry for giving u wrong statement on print and writing data into single
process. it cant be because printer and writer are two different devices.
thanks

That's what i was guessing anyway.
When you hook up the printer with a card set to have data written to it, do you see a new volume (drive) mounted on your computer that represents the card?
If so, this is very easy to do. If not, then others who have done this will need to advise or you'll have to research the tech info available to you about this device.
hi
i think filemaker maybe cannot write data into mifare contactless card. i
was thinking how filemaker can create Key A or Key B to communicate and
insert data into sectors and blocks.

I gather that you want to write electronic data to it that's stored electronically in the card?
And then read that data as well?
Does the reader to be used work in keyboard emulation mode? (If so, reading the card will be very simple.)
This is not a device that I've worked with so that's all that I can offer myself, but hopefully others can chime in.
But am I correct that you have to put the card into a special device connected via USB in order to write data to it? Or do you use the same device for contactless read and write? (I'm wondering if the card pops up on the computer as though it is a USB type memory stick where the stick is now an external hard drive for the computer or not. That would make "writing" data to it easy.)
