I'm VERY new to Arduino. I've been watching a lot of videos and trying to learn the most I can, however I'm getting stuck when it comes to this device because I can't find any documentation on how to hook it up.
I purchased a long range RFID reader for a fun project I'm working on. I had a lot of success using the basic FRID (RC522) in test projects, and I was hoping the new reader would be fairly plug and play. It's not.
I'm trying to use the same code I used on the RFID RC522, but I'm not able to get it to work. The code and lib I'm using can be found here: Current Code/LIB I have the New RFID hooked up to external power (5v) and I tried to match pins the best I could.
I tried to upload the datasheet PDF, but it looks like new users aren't allowed to for some reason. Any help on how I can get the new RFID reader to work would be GREATLY appreciated!! If you need any additional information, please let me know!
Nice attempt, you can post links to the data that keeps it easy and fast for most all. Posting a schematic, not a frizzy thing with links to the technical information on the hardware connected. This will help us help you.
Ah, makes sense! thank you - this will save me from trying to get it to work with the old code. Any change you could point me in the right direction on where to find some content on how to write some code for the new reader? Appreciate the help!
If you get it to work, please post the data here.
I've also used the RC522 type reader with success, but it won't read the tags at more than 10mm. I need to be able to read the tags at about 50mm.

Why do you need my code and pin config? You've told us that you already have it working.
We are both looking for data on 134.2KHz RFID readers, which neither of us have yet.
