Any recommendations for PC NFC Reader / Writer for nRF52 devices?

[CurtisHx]

Does anyone know of an off-the-shelf hardware and software that will let me read and write nRF52832 devices that are using the NFC Type 4 Library? We've tried the ACS ACR1252 and Indentive SCL3711 readers, along with a bunch of different software packages, and nothing has been able to read our nRF52 devices. The GoToTags Windows app looked the most promising, but it can't read the nRF52 through either readers.

Any suggestions?

Just for reference, the nRF52 devices are working great. We can read and write them from our Android phones. It's just the Windows PC hardware / software is extremely lacking and unclear.

Sorry for waking an old thread. Has anyone have any success concerning this?

We also have an ACR1252 it's working just fine drivers wise. But none of the software we tested were able to read or write Type 4 tags on Windows nor Linux.

We don't want to reimplement Type 4 tags and Ndef messages.

I can't imagine that noone has had that problem in the past and that no solution exists. The use case is simply reading and writing text records to and from the nRF52. Surely there is some software out there that has Type 4 tags implemented. Can anyone recoomend an OS, reader/writer device, software combination that worked for them? Android is not an option, but Windows/Linux doesn't matter.

I think it's a Windows PC software problem, not a reader problem. We've been using the ACRs to read / write our nRF52s. At the same time, we're not using the full Nordic NFC stack. We implemented at the ISO 7816-4 layer, which is what NDEF sits on top of.
