For the card that I can mis-swipe to generate a red light but still open the door, I have not seen any failed reads. However, when the card seems to be read correctly and<br>
the green light flashes, the door does not unlatch.<br>
<br>
Go figure.<br>
<br>
Will look for other readers right now.<br>

Hey all,<br>
<br>
I just talked to Tavio from Phat Beets, he had a few cards that did not seem to be working. I tested all three and got unreliable results. I got<br>
every combination of both<br>
light (green blink, green solid, red blink) and failure / success of opening latch.<br>
<br>
Especially of note, is that one card of a type I'm fairly certain does not work correctly, when swiped incorrectly, creates a red light, but also<br>
successfully opens the<br>
latch. This gives me the impression that an error code (rather than a card's unique code) has been incorrectly added to the whitelist!<br>
<br>
And overall, swiping is incredibly inconsistent even for my own card, which I know to have worked well for a long time.<br>
<br>
I'm going to buy at least one usb magnetic card reader right now, please join me in fixing this system so it works consistently, reliably, and<br>
securely ASAP.<br>
