NFC implementation

Using Arduino Project Guidance
1

Dear all,

I have a graduation project, which is to implement an NFC in the existing of my company product.
Their primary requirements is to have an available I2C connection, so they can use the NFC module as an add-on
to their product.
I want to start the implementatio from attaching arduino to NFC shield from seeedstudio.

But i need to fully understand first before i made further mistake...
I see in the NFC shield has I2C connection, but can it be use to connect with other component?
or is that purposely made to connect with arduino's I2C?

And i see most of projects that have been made is using arduino uno, i wonder if any kind of arduino can be also used?

If you have experienced with NFC, please share it to me.
Thank you in advance.

I2C is a multi-master, multi-slave, single-ended, serial computer bus.
You can connect NFC shield and other I2C device with Arduino through the I2C connection at the same time.
Take a chance.

There is nothing to do!. The chip on that shield will talk to anything via I2C.

Thanks for the fast reply! I feel greater excitement doing this project :smiley:

now, I might have an off topic question...
I have been thinking to make an NFC to have a capability to control devices.
So, imagine, with use of smartphone application, you can control fan just like universal remote.

I want to improve this project for more purpose rather than just collecting general information and power consumed and so forth.

Is this possible done? I have been thinking to use relay.
Alas, my experience with relay is small...

Let me know if someone have ever known about similar project made like this,
which i can use as a reference

Thank you in advance!

I have been thinking to make an NFC to have a capability to control devices.

An NFC device will tell the controller it is connected to what is near it. It is up to the controller to control devices.

So, imagine, with use of smartphone application, you can control fan just like universal remote.

I'm having a hard time imaging how the smart phone is going to play a role.
