MFRC522 read phone RFID/NFC

Projects General Guidance
1

Hi!

I am wondering if the MFRC522 module is capable of both reading data and sending data, my project is to be able to use my phone NFC and when I scan the MFRC522 I want it to register and I also want my phone to pick data up from the MFRC522. Is that possible? Or does anyone know any module capable of performing such a thing?

Thanks in advance!
Best regards Max

if posting a link to the datasheet gives answers more quickly? Yes!

From the datasheet:
The MFRC522 is a highly integrated reader/w

riter for contactless

communication at 13.56

MHz.

Thank you!

I just got mine, works perfecly with the tags that come with them. Is there a way to read phone NFC/RFID data with it? When I use the example sketch I get the error:

PICC type: PICC compliant with ISO/IEC 14443-4
Your tag is not of type MIFARE Classic.

So I assume that it cannot read phone NFC/RFID data. Is there any similar components that is compatible with the arduino that can read that kind of data?

Here the link to what I have now https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/data-sheet/MFRC522.pdf

Thanks in advance!
Best regards Max

You need to read the technical documentation and understand things. RFID is a general description and it does not define anything. There are several different RFID "trees, branches".

You need compatibility with the reader firstly and then libraries, code, etc. Read the technical documentation. You need to know about the different specs for different RFID systems.

you might try a module with a genuine PN532 (not a cheap fake one ...)
