Hello,
I'm trying to create a reader/writer of RFID cards from an android app created in MIT App Inventor.
I would like to read from this sector and send this string back with Bluetooth.
And when there is some data coming from Bluetooth (when I send a string from this android app), to write this string to this sector on the RFID card.
This string would be a number with leading zeros, with a length from 3 to 10 characters.
For example, 085 or maybe 00012345
I've found some code on how to read and write to a sector in the RFID card. But I'm stuck on what to do next.
I'm new to C/C++ if you could help me with this I would be grateful.
Here is the code that I have so far:
#include <SPI.h>
#include <MFRC522.h>
#include "BluetoothSerial.h"
#define SS_PIN 5
#define RST_PIN 22
/* Create an instance of MFRC522 */
MFRC522 mfrc522(SS_PIN, RST_PIN);
MFRC522::MIFARE_Key key;
#if !defined(CONFIG_BT_ENABLED) || !defined(CONFIG_BLUEDROID_ENABLED)
#error Bluetooth is not enabled! Please run `make menuconfig` to and enable it
#endif
BluetoothSerial SerialBT;

*/
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600); // Initialize serial communications with the PC
while (!Serial); // Do nothing if no serial port is opened (added for Arduinos based on ATMEGA32U4)
SPI.begin(); // Init SPI bus
mfrc522.PCD_Init(); // Init MFRC522 card
// Prepare the key (used both as key A and as key B)
// using FFFFFFFFFFFFh which is the default at chip delivery from the factory
for (byte i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
key.keyByte[i] = 0xFF;
}
SerialBT.begin("RFIDReaderWriter"); //Bluetooth device name
}
/**

// Reset the loop if no new card present on the sensor/reader. This saves the entire process when idle.
