[Task/Wiki] Simplify RFID cable harness #436

Closed gsvidaurre closed 1 year ago

gsvidaurre commented 1 year ago

The current RFID cable harness has 26 jumper cables to account for the 26-pin header on the CognIoT RFID reader. I don’t think all of these GPIO connections are actually being used by the reader. It would help save time making cable harnesses if we can identify only the GPIO connections that are necessary for the reader to run correctly

For our purposes, the RFID module needs only 6 pins of the raspberry pi: RFIDreader_pins Rpi4_pins

Wiring: Rpi4_RFID
