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

You can configure most of the GPIOs to work as SPI pins on the nRF52840, but on the DK some of the pins are by default set up as LEDs, buttons, etc. And I think the first one should be almost okay, except that the CS pin is by default set up as a button, so try changing it to one of the free GPIOs. Full overview, and how to gain control of the ones used for LEDs/buttons, etc. can be found in the nRF52840 DK user guide. Both the SPI0 and SPI1 instances should be usable, as the tag reader sample only uses one SPI instance at all to my knowledge. You can configure it as either.

Best regards,

Simon

Hello,

You said first one is ok but it didn't work for me i connect the second one just now it worked for me NFC field is on now and i just tried another nrf52832 dev kit with write nfc example with an NFC connection so when i keep nrf52832 NFC to ST25 reader it reads the URL data from nrf52832 NFC to nrf62840. but now i want to send those data to nrf connect mobile app over BLE.

So in nrf5SDK, i can use nus_send() function to send the data to app over BLE so here what API's available to send the data to app.??

Thank You.
