Description of ๐Ÿ”‘ HiLetgo RFID Kit: Mifare RC522 RF IC Card Sensor Module + S50 Blank Card + Key Ring for Arduino Raspberry Pi - High-Quality RFID Starter Set

The MF522-AN module design the circuit of card read by using the original Philips MFRC522 chip. Easy to use, low cost, and applicable to equipment development and card reader development etc. Applicable for the user who need to design or manufacture the RF card terminal. The module can be directly loaded into the various reader molds. The module use a voltage of 3.3V, it can connected communication with user's any CPU mainboard through several lines of SPI interface, it can ensure stable and reliable work, and reader distance.

Cheap and works - single board computer

Took a bit of effort to figure out how to use it on esp8266. But in the end it worked. It feels up to about 1 inch. I will be using it on my garden railroad to determine which railcars are used in different industries.

Pros
  • Always liked
Cons
  • Annoying

Not that broken, actually

I used to think all my readers were broken because I couldn't steal the firmware from them. It turns out there are multiple versions of the MFRC522.h library, and some of them encourage you to swap the MISO and MOSI pins. Once I did that, they worked great. They work great.

Pros
  • Wow
Cons
  • Tape

Great RFID hardware Computers and accessories

I used the miguelbalboa/rfid:Arduino RFID library for the MFRC522 library on GitHub with the ThingPulse ESP32 board. Getting started was very easy. #if defined (ARDUINO_ARCH_ESP32)

Pros
  • Finally bought
Cons
  • Stock availability

Not too reliable: Computers and accessories

Worked briefly and then stopped working for me. I started getting firmware errors assuming it was a clone. I had a very good experience with HiLetgo products and I think this one just wasn't good.

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Neutral

Works well in parallel

I bought three of these modules to use in parallel to try out a Quest style lock and they seem to work very well. I connected four of these (one previously owned) to the same Arduino Uno, which drives a servo when four specific RFID tags are read. I look forward to continuing to play with them!

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Obsolete model

Customer service (OLIVA) is amazing!

I like this product and the service I get from HiLetgo. Oliva always answers emails. I've used this with both Raspberry Pi and Arduino. Currently I decided to connect it to Arduino Nano and read it via serial port on Raspberry Pi. This is a good setup as it leaves all GPIO pins free on the Pi for use with motor boards, sensors, etc. I would suggest using the provided rectangular pins that came with the board as this allows access to them. easier after installation in the project.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
