So I'm not new but I'm rusty at much of this, but I got the PN532 NFC/RFID Controller Shield for Arduino and finally got all the shield stacking headers soldered on and ready to go. Library in place and set but as soon as I set up the test sketch and run the program. The serial monitor tells me that it cant fined the pn53x, I'm sure it means PN532 but I don't know if that may show a problem.
Checked the pins and solders and they look just fine to what I have seen others make. Could the program have a problem? or is the Shield possibly bad and I got the luck of getting it?

What model Arduino are you using this on? Could you post clear pictures of both sides of your board showing any soldering you have done?

Some of the solders did a capillary action thing and pulled threw, connection is there but should I re-solder?
I'm using Arduino uno to run this shield.

I would add some more solder just to make sure they don't crack inside the hole. The two marked are great.

So, re-solder and try again?franklin97355 wrote:I would add some more solder just to make sure they don't crack inside the hole. The two marked are great.

Ok, re-soldered and tested it back on the uno. The program still cannot fine the pin.

Make sure the shield is the only thing you have connected to the Arduino and if it still does not work email [email protected] with a link to this thread for a replacement
