Hello all
I am the co-owner of a gym and recently we have decided to switch over to membership cards, which members need to swipe at the door in order to gain access to the gym, as we've had a lot of people coming in and not paying/forgetting to pay the day fee. We already have the hardware sorted for the opening of the door (so that when they swipe, if the card info is valid they can enter) but as well as this, the other co-owner has requested that he receives a text message containing just the membership number (contained on the card - we only have about 50 members and only 1/2 of those are regular, so he is able to identify them by their memb. number). I don't care about this so I don't need it sending to me too, just his number.
If someone could give me some starting tips as to how to go about this - hardware,code languages, etc. I have decent amount of knowledge of computer programming, however coding isn't my speciality.
Many thanks.
EDIT: Forgot to add, I need this as miniature as it comes, we only have a small area to work with on the door for this bit(approx 5cmx5cm)
