A small class to interface with the NFC reader Module MFRC522 on the Raspberry Pi.
This is a Python port of the example code for the NFC module MF522-AN.
This code requires you to have SPI-Py installed:
$ pip install git+https://github.com/lthiery/SPI-Py
$ pip install git+https://github.com/wybczu/MFRC522-python
This repository includes a couple of examples showing how to read, write, and dump data from a chip. They are thoroughly commented, and should be easy to understand.
You can use this image for reference.
