Getting started with the MFRC-RCC522 RFID card reader
in this Tutorials we are going to deal with RC522 RFID reader this is simple and easy to connect with arduino where going to read the the RFID card target ID and print them to the serial Monitor and you can do different things using this RFID card reader so let’s start
Step1: Hardware required
Step2: Connecting the Hardware
Connect the RC522 to the arduino UNO as shown below, the RC522 RFID reader uses the SPI communication so make sure you don’t use the SPI communication pins in other tasks
after connecting the hardware we ready to make the sketch so let make it on the next step
Step3: Setting up the library
so before readin the RFID card tag we must have the library, so you can download it here. install the library by extracting that zipped file in the library folder as shown below
Step4: Upload the sample sketch
open the sample sketch that is located in file>examples>RFID>cardRead. and upload it. as shown below
Step5: Testing the circuit
open your serial monitor by clicking on the icon in the right top corner(like search icon) slash your card to the RFID reader you will receive the card ID. see the picture below something like that
that’s it you have finished your first step using the RC522 RFID reader so!! thing out of the box and do amazing stuffs using the MFRC-RC522 RFID card reader
