Can we use PN7160 NFC Reader instead of PN532 Adafruit NFC Reader

[sagarnayakm]

Hello,

In my project, I want to use PN7160 NFC Reader instead of PN532 NFC Reader because in nRF SDK had a library for PN532 but the library is comfortable for PN7160 or not .??

Yes, i can go for PN532 also but they are not recommended for a new design by anybody. So Please let us know if it's comfortable or not.??

Thank You.

Hi

We don't have a library for the PN7160 already in the nRF Connect SDK, but if you find a C library for this reader online or write your own there should be no problem using it in the nRF Connect SDK. But this is something you will have to implement yourself I'm afraid.

I would recommend the ST25R3911B reader since the library is already available, but it might not suit your use case. The decision is entirely up to you.

Best regards,

Simon

Hello,

Thanks for the confirmation, will use the ST25R3911B reader only.

I don't have more idea on nRf Connect SDK, so i am watching videos regarding that and in example library there are many samples were available.

So to read the NFC Tag data with ST25R3811B reader, which example is suitable like adafruit or writable_ndef_mesg.

Please let me know.

Thank You.
