Hi guys, i have 2 devices that need a reading from a magnetic stripe card. I cut the wires that go to the magnetic reader head and attached the corresponding wires so as to make 1 common head reader insead of two. Kinda like a Y cable. 1 2 Y head note: these two devices work totally idependent of eachother (different power sources etc). I just need to make it so they have the same reader head. In theory what I expected to happen, was the reading goes to both the devices. And it does, the problem is that on one of the devices the reading shows "error - please swipe again" most of the time. On a rare occasion, when i swipe it at a slower speed the reading comes out fine. If i attach the same head on each device seperatly it works perfectly. Any idea what is causing the problem, and how to solve it? You can find some info about the magnetic read head i am using at: [url removed, login to view] page 15 _Thank you
