Serial support for readers #30

Open wizzomafizzo opened 4 months ago

This is an example implementation of a "generic serial" protocol for reader. So that is microcontrollers like a Arduino and Pi Pico with the NFC module attached, using a simple text serial protocol to communicate with TapTo. This way, we could support all the existing MiSTerRFID readers and any other custom readers without needing new drivers in the software, we just have them use our firmware or at least follow the protocol. This is also cross platform between linux, mac and windows without any additional drivers.

This is very out of date now so I don't plan to ever merge it, but I want to keep it around until the actual solution is done
