Time Tracking with a Disney Infinity USB NFC Reader

While browsing my local thrift store, I stumbled upon a little gadget that I decided to repurpose:

It was only $6 USD, so I thought it would be a fun project.

I searched for ‘Disney Infinity Linux’ to see if any work had been done toward decoding it or making it work. I found various sources that suggested that Playstation or Wii versions work fine, but the X-Box version was challenging. Fortunately, among the 5 they had, one was the Wii/Playstation version so I bought it.
