PN532 Module for Arduino / Android phone / Linux / Windows / MAC

Supplied configured for UART serial use

  Onboard switches allow this to be changed to SPI or I2C/IIC

Ideal for use with mfoc / nfc-mfclassic software tools

  When used with suitable USB serial adapter

PN532 is very popular in NFC area. And the company offers much technology document to help developers.

We developed this module based on the official document. And to make things easier, we also build library for this module.

We almost break out all the IO pins of on this module. Users could easily connect and play.

On this module, I2C is the data Interface by default. With our Arduino Sensor Shield,

it is very easy to plug and play. However, if users want to use other interface such as UART or SPI,

this module also makes it easy to break out those pins.

The PN532 is actually a bundle of 4 libraries: PN532, PN532_HSU, PN532_I2C and PN532_SPI.

You only need 2, the main PN532.h and either the I2C or SPI depending on how you connect it.

HSU Library is for high speed communication.

Before getting started, you need to install a few libraries like Don's NDEF library,

  PN532 library(Seeed-Studio's version recommended),

  both of them you can find on GitHub or at below links:
