Description

That's what I got right now:

PIN: DESCRIPTION
01: ISO 7816 - 3 (CLOCK)
02: Vss / Ground
03: ISO 7816 - 8
04: MAG DATA
05: ISO 7816 - 4
06: MAG STROBE
07: ISO 7816 - 2 (RESET)
08: ISO 7816 - 6 (Prog Vcc?)
09: CARD PRESENT (NO)
10: ISO 7816 - 1 (Vcc)
11: MAG Vcc
12: CARD SEATED (NC)
13: ISO 7816 - 5 (GND)
14: ISO 7816 - 7 (DATA)

My connector is numbered, so if you look at the connector latch on top, pin 1 is top-left, pin 2 is bottom-left and pin 13 is top-right, 14 is bottom-right.

I tested the mag stripe reader using an arduino and magstripelib [1] and it works.

Smartcard (iso 7816) reader are direct connection to the smartcard connector. Not tested yet.

So at the moment, pins tested/confirmed are: 02, 04, 06, 09 and 11.

I'll update the wiki once the pinout is fully tested.
