Welp, I tried to be discreet 
Why not both?
I have a better option, eliminate Wiegand and then Hegel. This will get rid of a horrible outdated protocol, the crazypants far right, and the crazypants far left.

I wonder if they were ever in the same room haha

I have a plethora of options I can select in how these multiClass readers export data but wiegand has the largest library.
Honestly Iām pretty impressed with how easy it is to update these readers and change settings.
I also see potentially how @XC-108 may be able to get her troublesome readers workingā¦

Do tell! Iām so excited for the work youāre doing!

I think itās only possible on multiClass readers so some of those old ones wonāt work.
Butā¦
Download the HID reader Manager app.
Setup an account, then choose USE NFC.
Tap your phone to the reader and if it recognizes it you can potentially change the settings.
To edit anything the app makes you power cycle the device. You could do it by pulling the power wire out and putting it back in. Once you do that you can access just if these configurations
In the intelligent power management thereās a power setting that reduces the polling frequency and power. Make sure this is disabled
I honestly had no clue these readers were as easy to mess with or as intelligent to be controlled with an app. Itās kinda spooky

Thatās a REALLY cool discovery!
I think that the ones that give me the most trouble are the ones that are not multiClass, but Iām gonna try! This would be amazing!
I know that we have some multiClass readers at the HQ office, but I have found their sweetspot for the LF side of my NExT. I may still see if I can mess with them, but I have a lot less āfreedomā to explore at HQ than I do in the manufacturing building where I am actually a senior engineer.

Dam someone was thinking ā¦
But not all the way

I edited my statement. It made it seem like it could be configured without power cycling.
The unit has to be power cycled to read the configuration data and then again to write any new configuration.
I suspect that Many of these do not have special configurations

I know we all get itchy implants from time to time,
But has anyone else noticed meaningful trends?
I feel like whenever my implants are particularly itching I happen to be healing from something, coming down or getting over somethingā¦ or some general immune response probablyā¦
I know are various reasons why this could be a thing, even though your body has mechanisms to guide response to certain areas, itās still prone global actions, and implants are by nature a foreign body your body has been giving a side eye to for a while lol
I guess what Iām asking isā¦ just me?

Dorn ā¦ Missed opportunity for random chaos 
The only consistent itching I get is the magnet (xG3 in the inner forearm) when they get vibrating from a solenoid or transformer. If the frequency is high enough you ādonāt feel itā other than a very unique itchy feeling

A Bluetooth implant could be very useful
I read it as āhornytownā for some reason
I imagine it would be annoying for it to glow all the time
Nah, happens to me all the time. Your body gave up on trying to destroy or push out the implant after install, so it made the encapsulation scar tissue and fibrin sheath. Those types of cells only come about from an injury like this though, so thereās still leftover signaling proteins and such on their surfaces and in the interstitial fluid around them that the white blood cells see when theyāre in a heightened state. The lymphatic system is one of the most impressive parts of our evolution, of all the things (other than chromosomal normality) we would be the most dead without it. It wasnāt guided or anything though, so it can seem kind of slapdash when is erroneously targets our own body (which it does a lot)

Someone calling a magnetic field āitchyā was not something that I expected to ever seeā¦
Even less while making perfect sense and making me want to experience the same feelingā¦

I highly recommend it. It was a bit weird for me the first time I felt it. Now itās literally like another sense.
Sensing magnetic surfaces is probably my second most favorite thing about it

It does fill itchy, like deep itch you that last a few minutes after being out of the field if I get it strong enough. But that may be because I have them at a place that isnāt super sensitive so sensing anything excite the local nerves ?
I work around solenoids a lot and they trigger my xG3 (lifting one, not the sensing one) on the inner of my forearm about 30-40mm away ā¦ I need to get a good video of it next time I have enough light ā¦

Body is a funny thing, made up of a bunch of interconnected but different systems. You might not have a lot of tactile corpuscles in that area but there are definitely nerves there. At the end of the nerves are specific types of cells that act as sensorsā¦ except for free floating nerves, which are responsible for that itch sensationā¦ those are everywhere.
This is probably due to Pacinian corpuscles!
Thanks chatGPT for listing things out so nicelyā¦
Nerve sensors, or sensory receptors, for tactile sensations, itch, and temperature are specialized structures in the skin and other tissues. Hereās a breakdown of the types associated with each sensation:
Tactile (Touch) Sensors
- Merkel Cells/Discs
Function: Detect sustained touch and pressure.
Location: Found in the epidermis, especially in fingertips and lips.
- Meissnerās Corpuscles
Function: Detect light touch and vibration.
Location: Found in the dermal papillae of hairless skin, like palms and soles.
- Pacinian Corpuscles
Function: Detect deep pressure and high-frequency vibration.
Location: Found deep in the dermis and in subcutaneous tissue.
- Ruffini Endings
Function: Detect skin stretch and sustained pressure.
Location: Found in the dermis and joint capsules.
- Free Nerve Endings
Function: Detect light touch and pain.
Location: Widely distributed in the skin.
- Hair Follicle Receptors
Function: Detect movement of hair.
Location: Around hair follicles.
Itch Sensors
- Free Nerve Endings (Specific Subtypes)
Function: Detect chemical and mechanical irritation that causes itch (pruritus).
Location: Primarily in the epidermis.
Notes: Respond to histamine and other chemical mediators of itch, such as proteases.
Temperature Sensors
- Thermoreceptors (Free Nerve Endings)
Subtypes:
Cold Receptors (A-delta fibers): Detect cooling sensations.
Warm Receptors (C fibers): Detect warming sensations.
Location: Distributed throughout the skin.
- Polymodal Receptors
Function: Detect extreme temperatures and pain (nociception).
Location: Found in the epidermis and dermis.
These sensory receptors send signals to the brain via specific pathways in the peripheral and central nervous systems to allow the perception of touch, itch, and temperature.
