Hi everybody,   >>> UPDATE - Made "proper" Energia Library out of it. Now with proper named methods/class members<<<   >>> UPDATE 2 - Added "keywords.txt" file for synta

Hi! I got my RC522 up and running this morning and just thought I'd share what worked for me..   I tried running three different Energia-versions of the library, but none of them worked. I tried pri

Okay guys,   Did some work this morning to transform the test code into a proper library. It should be more usable and generic. I haven't made a "keywords.txt". The methods should be self explanator

Hi everybody,

 

>>> UPDATE - Made "proper" Energia Library out of it. Now with proper named methods/class members<<<

 

>>> UPDATE 2 - Added "keywords.txt" file for syntax highlighting, added comments to "Mfrc522.cpp" file explaining methods (thanks to Grant) - Added example to read cards contents of block 1 <<<

 

>>> UPDATE 3 - You need to apply the USCI SPI fix proposed by Spirilis (post #22) in the following thread: http://forum.43oh.com/topic/3237-energia-library-nordic-nrf24l01-library/page-2 , otherwise the card reader won't work! <<<<

 

I wanted to share my results with the MF RC522 RFID reader. I found an article from Grant Gibson (http://www.grantgibson.co.uk/blog/2012/04/how-to-get-started-with-the-mifare-mf522-an-and-arduino/#commentswhere he used a cheap reader from eBay to read Mifare cards.  (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mifare-RC522-RFID-13-56Mhz-Module-SPI-Interface-with-a-IC-Card-/370690680474?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item564ee2e69a)

 

The command set and technical aspects of the MFRC522 chip can be found in the datasheet: http://www.nxp.com/documents/data_sheet/MFRC522.pdf

 

I have ported the example to Energia. Very simple by removing all Chinese comments and replacing uchar with unsigned chars. 

 

After these changes it works like a charm. 

 

Just connect the following lines:

MOSI LP -> Pin 3 of the module

MISO LP -> Pin 4 of the module

PIn 1.3 LP -> Pin 1 of the module (SS)

Pin 2.2 LP -> Pin 7 of the module (RST)

Pin 1.5 LP -> Pin 2 of the module (SCK)

GND LP -> Pin 6 of the module

VCC LP -> Pin 8 of the module

Pin 5 is not connected.

 

Included is the sketch (attachicon.gifMfrc522.zip) I used. Now onto opening doors and paying electronically!

 

Kind regards, 

 

Eelco

Do you think this library will works with connected launchpad TM4C129XL? and where are these pins located? thanks

OK, spent a bit of time on this this evening.

Tried knocking together some code to allow hard coding of tag IDs which works OK. Might need to change the for loop though as anything in else just gets repeated, a switch might do the trick but it's late.

For anyone interested, here's my code, would appreciate any improvements that could be made, including an scenario where the tag's not recognized as valid.

Hi, I was following your code and pinout, but it
