NodeMCU: Wiegand not working for one device, while working for another I'm using a NodeMCU, and a working code for reading Wiegand data, with this library.

I managed to successfully read the Wiegand signal from this device.

However, I also have this new AR-721H device, and I can't get the Wiegand to work. This is the manual for the device.

There is absolutely nothing coming to the mcu. Everything is wired identically as the working device.

According to the manual, everything should be working, but I am at a loss.

Can someone please tell me what I might be doing wrong?

The store clerk told me something about needing a controller that converts RS485 to RS232, but I have no idea what that means. I already made it work with another device...
It's quite cryptic from the little information in that (somewhat chaotic) "manual", but I interpret it that the Wiegand interface is an input port, not an output port.  It is intended to connect that port to an external card reader or keypad as a remote interface (typically the other side of the door to this unit).

For communication with your Arduino you should use the RS-485 interface. For that you need an MAX485 breakout board.
