NFC RFID Reader based on PN533 chip

LibNFC NFC RFID reader PN533

The NFC USB Stick enables the reading and writing of NFC cards and tags as well as NFC P2P communication.
The stick is produced by Digital Logic LTD. It is built upon the NXP PN533 chip according to manufacturers’ recommendations and guidelines. NXP’s PN533 supports the full range of the NFC Forum specifications and standards.
This product is fully supported by the open-source library LibNFC, which makes it a good starting point for the development of NFC applications on various platforms.
Using LibNFC libraries and examples is well explained on the LibNFC community and forums.
LibNFC is an open-source project, has a big community, and is developed continuously.
