So I bought a RFID-RC522 module with a blue tag and a white card, and I searched for tutorials and found this library that I used it.
and here is my code :
#include <MFRC522.h>
#include <SPI.h>
#define SAD 10
#define RST 9
MFRC522 nfc(SAD, RST);
void setup() {
SPI.begin();
// Read a fast as possible. There is a limit for how long we are
// allowed to read from the tags.
Serial.begin(115200);
Serial.println("Looking for MFRC522.");
nfc.begin();
// Get the firmware version of the RFID chip
byte version = nfc.getFirmwareVersion();
if (! version) {
Serial.print("Didn't find MFRC522 board.");
while(1); //halt
}
Serial.print("Found chip MFRC522 ");
Serial.print("Firmware ver. 0x");
Serial.print(version, HEX);
Serial.println(".");
}
byte keyA[6] = {0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, };
byte keyB[6] = {0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, };
void loop() {
byte status;
byte data[MAX_LEN];
byte serial[5];
int i, j, pos;
// Send a general request out into the aether. If there is a tag in
// the area it will respond and the status will be MI_OK.
status = nfc.requestTag(MF1_REQIDL, data);
if (status == MI_OK) {
Serial.println("Tag detected.");
Serial.print("Type: ");
Serial.print(data[0], HEX);
Serial.print(", ");
Serial.println(data[1], HEX);
// calculate the anti-collision value for the currently detected
// tag and write the serial into the data array.
status = nfc.antiCollision(data);
memcpy(serial, data, 5);
Serial.println("The serial nb of the tag is:");
for (i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
Serial.print(serial[i], HEX);
Serial.print(", ");
}
Serial.println(serial[3], HEX);
// Select the tag that we want to talk to. If we don't do this the
// chip does not know which tag it should talk if there should be
// any other tags in the area..
nfc.selectTag(serial);
// Assuming that there are only 64 blocks of memory in this chip.
for (i = 0; i < 64; i++) {
// Try to authenticate each block first with the A key.
status = nfc.authenticate(MF1_AUTHENT1A, i, keyA, serial);
if (status == MI_OK) {
Serial.print("Authenticated block nb. 0x");
Serial.print(i, HEX);
Serial.println(" with key A.");
// Reading block i from the tag into data.
status = nfc.readFromTag(i, data);
if (status == MI_OK) {
// If there was no error when reading; print all the hex
// values in the data.
for (j = 0; j < 15; j++) {
Serial.print(data[j], HEX);
Serial.print(", ");
}
Serial.println(data[15], HEX);
} else {
Serial.println("Read failed.");
}
} else {
// If we could not authenticate with the A key, we will try
// the B key.
status = nfc.authenticate(MF1_AUTHENT1B, i, keyB, serial);
if (status == MI_OK) {
Serial.print("Authenticated block nb. 0x");
Serial.print(i, HEX);
Serial.println(" with key B.");
status = nfc.readFromTag(i, data);
if (status == MI_OK) {
for (j = 0; j < 15; j++) {
Serial.print(data[j], HEX);
Serial.print(", ");
}
Serial.println(data[15], HEX);
} else {
Serial.println("Read failed.");
}
} else {
Serial.print("Access denied at block nb. 0x");
Serial.println(i, HEX);
}
}
}
// Stop the tag and get ready for reading a new tag.
nfc.haltTag();
}
delay(2000);
}
and I connected the module like this :
===================================
| RFID-RC522 | Arduino Uno |
___________________________________
| SDA | 10 |
| SCK | 13 |
| MOSI | 11 |
| MISOI | 12 |
| RQ | Skipped |
| GND | GND |
| RST | 9 |
| 3.3V | 3.3V |
===================================
and when I virify and uplaod the code, the RFID-RC522 module turned the light D1 to On (red light) and in the serial it show :
Looking for MFRC522.
Didn't find MFRC522 board.
and when i try to scan the card or the tag nothing happened in the serial, I searched in google and i found that Arduino uno 3.3V pin is too weak, so i changed the 3.3V to 5V, and click in reset button of arduino uno board and check the serial and it showed :
Looking for MFRC522.
Found chip MFRC522 Firmware ver. 0xFF.
But still not scaning the tag or the card (also tried another tag and another card that i bought them from the same seller and still not working)
any help please, and thanks
