title: Interfacing HID device with Raspberry Pi
body: <p>I have plugged in a RFID scanner into the usb port of the raspberry pi. I noticed it appears in the <code>/dev/input/by-id</code> folder as <code>usb-RFIDeas_USB_Keyboard-event-kbd</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I found code on <a href="https://github.com/google/makerspace-auth/blob/master/software/authbox/badgereader_hid_keystroking.py" rel="nofollow noreferrer">GitHub</a> that seems to suggest that I can read from this device, but I am pretty new to understanding all of this so I keep getting confused about how I can run the code to read information from my RFID scanner.</p>
