+Note for the hardware spi on the esp8266 the sck, mosi, and miso pins don't need to be specified for initalization,
+only spiblk needs to be set to 1. In software mode they will need to be specified and spblk can be left unset.

 Now enter the REPL you could run one of the two exmaples: 
 
 For detecting, authenticating and reading from a card:
  
     import read
-    read.do_read()
+    read.do_read()  #for software
+    read.do_read(1) #for esp hardware
     
 This will wait for a MifareClassic 1k card. As soon the card is detected, it is authenticated, and 
 16 bytes are read from address 0x08.
