HINATA Manual Contents
HINATA is a card reader that can be used not only with arcade games, but also with a rich ecosystem.
HINATA provides many original features, such as Kanade DX connectivity and high-speed card reading, and works plug-and-play.
The HINATA ecosystem is continuously expanding.
⚠️ Slow, unstable, or failed reading with some cards on HINATA Lite?
Since HINATA Lite uses an off-the-shelf RF module, if you experience slow, unstable, or failed reading with some cards, please try:
- Do not place directly against the reader: Some cards read best when raised a few centimeters higher, or cushioned with a non-metallic spacer (optimal distance is recommended to be tested and determined via HINATA Go).
- Apply copper foil sticker: You can apply a copper foil sticker (included for units shipped after July 20, 2025) on the back where the red light glows. The sticker size is recommended to be tested and determined via HINATA Go.
