Where is the out put displayed? about magstripelib HOT 7 CLOSED

With the example MagStripeReader.ino sketch? Does the error LED blink?

If it does, then the card isn't being read properly (no serial output in this case). Otherwise, check if you have the correct rate set in the serial monitor (9600 bps).

The orange light is being turned off and remains off upon card insertion
and turns back on when it's removed , is that what you mean ?

The example sketch uses two LEDs: one to show that a card is being read (ON when swiping a card, OFF otherwise) and another that blinks briefly if the swiped data cannot be decoded (the error LED).

The sketch uses pin 13 for the read LED. I'm assuming your "orange light" is this one. And from that it looks that your reader uses the "card present" (CLS) line to indicate a fully inserted card instead of a card being swiped. This library doesn't support this type of readers.

panasonic zu-1870ma6t2 is the reader im using

The datasheet says the CLD line is basically a switch indicating the card is fully inserted. The way the library works internally means this requires some modifications. These shouldn't be too difficult, the tricky part is integrating them with existing behavior.

You're welcome to fork the code and implement the necessary changes.

is the source code available ?
