I am in desperate need of assistance. Me and a group for school are working on a project to replace our current school ID with NFC ID's and NFC capable phones. There are a few questions I have. My current setup that we are starting with is the Arduino UNO R3, Arduino Ethernet shield, and the PN532 RFID/NFC Shield. Our vision for this project is to have data written to a card (a mifare 1k card at the moment), their ID number and such. There are two functions for our ID's, to open doors and to pull up information on a desktop computer. With the phones, we want the same thing, to open doors and pull up information. Using the NFC shield and ethernet shield we want the NFC shield to read the phone or ID card and send the information through the ethernet shield to a database to check for either a) granted access to open the door and b) gather the information and display it on a desktop application that we are starting to make. It's really hard to put my entire project into words for this forum but that's the basics of it. The three major components will be a desktop application, a database, and the nfc reader.
So we just received everything and put it together but I'm already having trouble with writing to the mifare card. I ran the formatndef for the I2C library and first wrote adrafruit.com to the card. It worked. Once I wanted to rewrite to it, it would act like it worked but it would still have the same tag that I originally wrote, which was adrafruit.com. I went into the program and changed this part
Code: Select all
// For a http://www. url:
const char * url = "google.com";
uint8_t ndefprefix = NDEF_URIPREFIX_HTTP_WWWDOT;
Another question I had is that I saw on the youtube video that an adrafruit employee said that it was able to communicate with a Galaxy Nexus. I know there is no code examples for that but I was wondering what kind of communication there would be between the phone and the board. What I wanted it to do is to read information from the galaxy nexus, possibly it's unique ID or if we have to an ID that we write to it using the board. Is this even possible or am I reaching for the moon with this?Seems to be a Mifare Classic card (4 byte UID)
Card has been formatted for NDEF data using MAD1
Writing URI to sector 1 as an NDEF Message
NDEF URI Record written to sector 1
Done!
Those are my two starting questions, any and all help will be appreciated.
