Overview:
NFC is a popular technology in recent years. Almost all the high-end phone in the market support NFC.
Near field communication (NFC) is a set of standards for smart phones and similar devices to establish radio communication with each other by touching them together or bringing them into close proximity, usually no more than a few centimeters.
For electronics geeks, we also want to use NFC technology to make our own things. So we build this NFC RFID module.
This module is built around PN532. PN532 is very popular in NFC area. And the company offers much technology document to help developers. We developed this module based on the official document. And to make things easier, we also build library for this module.
We almost break out all the IO pins of PN532 on this module. Users could easily connect and play. It is very easy to plug and play. However, if users want to use other interface such as UART or SPI, this module also makes it easy to connect those pins.
Features:
1. Gilt PCB and Small dimension and easy to embed into your project
2. Support I2C.SPI and HSU (High Speed UART), Change between those modes
3. Support RFID reading and writing
SupportP2P communication with peers
Support NFC with Android phone
4. Typical Operating Distance have been updated to 5cm~7cm reading distance
5. Work in NFC Mode or RFID reader/writer Mode
6. RFID reader/writer supports:
1) 1k, 4k, Ultralight, and DesFire cards
2) ISO/IEC 14443-4 cards such as CD97BX, CD light, Desfire, P5CN072 (SMX)
3) Innovision Jewel cards such as IRT5001 card
4) FeliCa cards such as RCS_860 and RCS_854
7. Plug and play, for compatible
8. Built in PCB Antenna, with 4cm~6cm communication distance
