Introduction If you’ve ever worked with a proximity card reader (125kHz or 13.56MHz), a fingerprint scanner, or an old-school magnetic stripe swipe, you’ve almost certainly encountered the Wiegand protocol. In the embedded world, the wiegand.h header file represents the standard interface for driving these devices via GPIO on microcontrollers like Arduino, ESP32, STM32, or Raspberry Pi Pico.

Remember: Implement it correctly once, and you’ll support every major card reader on the market. Have you battled Wiegand jitter or bit‑order issues? Share your experience below. Have you battled Wiegand jitter or bit‑order issues
