Notes

The example code does not take into consideration HEX values, in the result, with this snippit, it is delt with

int ID12RFID::readable() {
}

int ID12RFID::read() {
    while (_rfid.getc() != 2);

    int v = 0;
    _rfid.getc(); // drop 1st 2 bytes - we actually only read the lower 32-bits of the code
    _rfid.getc();

    for (int i=7; i>=0; i--) {
        char c = _rfid.getc(); // a ascii hex char
        int part = c - '0';

    // test if 'Alpha'

    if (part > 9) part -= 7;     // was 6
        v |= part << (i * 4);
    }
    
    for (int i=0; i<5; i++) {
        _rfid.getc();
    }
    
    return v;
}
