Description of ✨ Waveshare Raspberry Pi PN532 NFC HAT for 13.56MHz Communication, Supporting I2C, SP, and UART Interfaces

This is a Raspberry Pi NFC HAT based on PN532 operating in the 13.56MHz frequency range. It supports three communication interfaces: I2C, SPI, and UART. NFC (Near Field Communication) is a wireless technology allows contactless point-to-point data communication between devices within a short distance of 10 cm. It is widely used in applications such as access control system, smart tickets, meal card, etc. Based on the popular NFC controller PN532 with multi interface options, this HAT will easily enable NFC function for your Raspberry Pi. Standard Raspberry Pi 40PIN GPIO extension header, supports Raspberry Pi series boards Onboard PN532 chip, supports various NFC/RFID cards like MIFARE/NTAG2xx, etc. Three interface options: I2C, SPI, and UART, configured via jumpers and switches. Breakout control pins, for easily connecting with host boards like STM32/Arduino Comes with development resources and manual (examples for Raspberry Python/C, STM32, Arduino)

Works as expected

Bought to learn about NFC and it served its purpose. The size of the antenna can be an issue if you want long range, but it does the job.

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • Looks

We remove the yellow tape

Works fine. Just don't forget to remove the yellow tape covering the switches (the black rectangle next to the reading square).

Pros
  • It seems that everything is ready
Cons
  • It's hard to remember, but it was

Versatile and easy to install

I installed mine on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ and it was very easy to install as it is designed to connect directly to a GPIO with an extra on top , so you keep the same functionality even if it sits on the original board. You'll likely need a different case if you're already using one, as it takes up more space than most standard cases allow. So far it has worked for me with no power issues.

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • A long time

Remove the yellow tape

Works great. Just don't forget to remove the yellow tape covering the switches (the black rectangle next to the reading square).

Pros
  • Standard Raspberry Pi 40PIN GPIO Expansion Connector, Supports Raspberry Pi Series Boards. Built-in PN532 chip, supports various NFC/RFID cards such as MIFARE/NTAG2xx etc. Three interface options: I2C, SPI and UART, configurable using jumpers and switches
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for the elderly
