ESP RFID Tool

Description

The Generic ESP RFID Tool is a WiFi-enabled interface for authorised testing of access-control installations that use the Wiegand protocol. It can capture raw data from connected reader wiring and provide access to logs through a web interface, supporting controlled assessment of RFID readers, keypads and other Wiegand devices.

Key features

• Captures raw binary data from standard 5V Wiegand interfaces.
• Designed for testing access-control readers and related Wiegand equipment.
• Supports common 26 to 37-bit HID card formats as a primary target.
• Provides a web-based interface over WiFi.
• Can operate as a WiFi access point or connect to an existing WiFi network.
• Uses a four-wire connection for power, ground and Wiegand data lines.
• Open-source software is available through the project repository.

Technical details

• Hardware platform: ESP12 WiFi module.
• Interface: WiFi with TCP/IP support.
• Wired protocol: standard Wiegand.
• Operating voltage: approximately 4.5V to 12V, based on the project documentation.
• Connection: four-wire interface for power, ground, D0 and D1.

Compatibility and setup

Use the supplied auto-splicing connector with compatible Wiegand wiring, following the relevant wiring documentation and the system owner’s approved test plan. The project provides firmware releases, source code and installation schematics. A WiFi-capable phone or computer can access the web interface. Compatibility depends on the reader’s wiring and protocol, so verify the installation before connection.
