There were some tips online about using a card reader with the Arduino board, I found a good example here http://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-magnetic-stripe-decoder/ which I've used to rewire the cheap card reader I bought from eBay. Although the card reader I purchased wasn't the same model I downloaded the data sheet of the card model I was using and have remapped the input sequence and wiring. Most of it was the same so that was relatively easy to get up and running.The sequence was the same, DATA - 2 CLK - 3 LOAD - 5 Finally, connect the +5v and GND to their respective terminals on the Arduino board.
