I am trying to find the UID of a rfid tag but only the d1 tag is lighting up and it is not registering the tag I’m using a mega 2560 the code I am using is example code

* Example sketch/program showing how to read data from more than one PICC to serial.

* This is a MFRC522 library example; for further details and other examples see: https://github.com/miguelbalboa/rfid

* Example sketch/program showing how to read data from more than one PICC (that is: a RFID Tag or Card) using a
* MFRC522 based RFID Reader on the Arduino SPI interface.
*
* Warning: This may not work! Multiple devices at one SPI are difficult and cause many trouble!! Engineering skill
* and knowledge are required!

It doesnt say where to put the irq pin but I think I need to use it so Could someone help me figure it out
