Biblio...::3M810(3pm)

📦 version 0.05, in debian trixie, ubuntu noble, ubuntu resolute, ubuntu stonking

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, meet Biblio::RFID::Reader::3M810 — it's the Perl module that gives you support for the 3M 810 RFID reader. that's it, that's the whole job, and it does it gorgeously. 👑

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like, this module rides on top of Biblio::RFID::Reader::Serial over a USB/serial adapter, and it talks to a 3M 810 RFID reader — the kind of reader that lives in library applications. very "shhh, this is a quiet floor" energy. 🤫📚

and ngl? this one is the most mature implementation in the whole squad. it supports the full API defined over in Biblio::RFID::Reader::API. we're talking:

  • scanning for all the tags in the reader's range 🔍
  • reading and writing of data ✍️
  • AFI security manipulation 🔐

the way this got built?? iconic detective work fr fr. it was developed using Portmon on Windows to capture serial traffic:

and the checksum for this reader was developed with help from "selwyn":

if you want more info about the whole process of reverse engineering the protocol with this reader, it's all documented here:

🎀 afi_retry 🎀

this lil setting tells you how many times the driver will try to write afi to the tag. like, how stubborn it's gonna be about it. 💅

Biblio::RFID::Reader::3M810::afi_retry = 100;
