https://www.masswerk.at/keypunch/ is a good tool for getting the basics of the punch card encoding scheme.
There's also a handful of people over at Hackaday that have made hardware for reading punch cards. Example: https://hackaday.com/2015/01/17/arduino-reads-punch-cards/
I hope to see your creation sometime, that sounds awesome
I also made a subpar guide to getting started on IBM i with RPGLE at https://barrettotte.github.io/IBMi-Book. Its a really fun language/environment and I recommend anyone take a try at coding something trivial.
