Re: How to connect Pi to PN532 NFC/RFID shield controller
This is not really recommended, as the RX and TX lines have pullups to 5V on them You would have to step those back down to 3.3V before connecting to the Pi.
However, if you want to do it, you want to close SEL0 and open SEL1 to enable UART mode. MOSI is TX, and SS is RX.

Re: How to connect Pi to PN532 NFC/RFID shield controller
thanks for answer.
so i dont need any adapter?? i just can take some wire to connect from the nfc to the pi ?
i found some infos at www :
here is a howto with the same situation like me (well, they use v.1.0 and i have v.1.3)
http://www.mobilefish.com/developer/lib ... fruit.html
they use the Crius FTDI Basic Breakout 5V USB to TTL 6-Pin Module for MWC MultiWii Lite / SE
http://dx.com/p/crius-ftdi-basic-breako ... -se-228307
and they dont cange 5v to 3.3v !? what is right ?

I've never done it, and I don't know anybody who has. I think I'd follow the MoblieFish tutorial if I were you.

Re: How to connect Pi to PN532 NFC/RFID shield controller
Hello,
I would like also to connect my R-pi to the NFC shield PN532. But as you mention, the NFC shield is 5v compatible. So I'm planning to use a 74HC4050 for the Tx pin of the shield, so my R-pi receives 3.3V signal.
But for the Rx pin of the NFC shield, i´m planning to connect directly the Tx pin of my R-pi. Is this correct?
Thank you
