A linux tool for simple usage of the MSR605 magnet stripe reader/writer
USAGE:
./msrtool.py /dev/ttyUSB0
You should have write access to the serial port, so you either run this as root or add yourself to the dialout group (or whatever group your linux assigns /dev/ttyUSB0 to).
This is heavily based on the work from Damien Bobillot, who wrote the Python driver for the MSR605's serial interface. I only wrapped a nicer frontend around.
As Damien's work is GPL, this is licensed under the terms of the GPL, too.
