Using python3 - a simple read works outside the thread but not inside. This is in a Flask script - I will try a simple thread example as well.
Update - this problem appears to be related to running in Flask
More Update - I got this to work by just adding the instantiation statement in the main thread. The when the rfid thread was setup, the code below worked. I have no idea why.
This is the cocde
` self.reader = SimpleMFRC522()
print(self.reader)
while True:
id, text = self.reader.read()
print("The ID for this card is:", id)
print(id)
sleep(1)
`
