Question:

Magnetic Stripe Card Reader/Writer?

I'm doing a project involving Magnetic Stripe Cards. My question is, are Magnetic Card Reader also the same as a Magnetic Card Writer? What I mean is, if I buy a Magnetic Card Reader, can I also write the card or do I have to buy a separate Magnetic Card Writer? I hope you understand my question. Thanks for answering! :)

Answer:

i think they're different
This is actually a good question. But you have to be careful, because the answer is both yes, and no. What I mean by that is, is that you can buy them both ways. You can purchase just readers, or just writers, or a combined unit (usually way more expensive). So you just have to ensure that you read the product description before you purchase.
