Chip compatibility matrix - Google Sheets

Hi,
just to make another visible demonstration on this reader:

in the video you can see:

  • Rfid Low Freq EM key fob that works with my gate, and with the work reader from ERROR (so it is read)
  • xled that never turns on the led
  • chip in NExT hand with Low freq part that always works in my home gate, and here it doesn’t even sound error
  • company card that obviously works perfectly HID

I would say you can take the compatibility out of the excel table

hope i was helpful :wink:

On Monday I will try again with xled

Today I pravo with the reader present on my office printers, this:


this is its guide:
Kofax ID Card Reader User Guide (baltech.de)

and guess what ? it is read, I logged in with my user on the printer touch panel and I can enable the office print queue.
however i can’t access the office, maybe the CDVI is really deep the plastic piece and it doesn’t reach to receive the antenna, cmq i’ll try with xled as already mentioned, i’ll keep you updated

Took quite a bit of digging but I found a broken solar kicking around in my truck. It’s the model with the keypad but the internals are basically the same.

The red line in the pic is where the antenna is. With this model, I found that it works best with the EM at a 45° angle in one of the top corners (see video).

Try that and keep us up to date!

Last note: I taped on the “1” that is under my hand so you can hear the shorter beep it makes. I don’t want to be accused of cheating! :sweat_smile:

Edit: I have an issue with uploading the video. I’ll try to fix it in a minute.
Edit 2: should be ok now

Quick question for y’all, is it possible to infer compatibility between similar chips on locks that have been tested on something else? I have an xSIID which is a little different to the other chips listed here, but might be similar enough to be worth a shot? I’m fine spending the money on a good smart lock and finding out it doesn’t work, I’ll probably just go and get a compatible implant second, but maximizing my chances of getting lucky first time is worth a post.

I had this as a draft, not sure why I didn’t post it, no point deleteing it, so here it is

Well the good news is ( To me at least ) everything sounds like it is done correctly.

Quite likely, and one of the great things about the NExT implant is it’s size…unfortunately this results in a reduced read range.

Often it is the reader that is out of our control to improve, they sometimes are not putting out enough power to couple with a tiny xSeries implant.
Which leaves you with a few options.

First Try using your Diagnostic card on the reader, :card_diagnostic_dt: the LF LED should hopefully light up…or it may blink. Either way the brighter the better.
Let us know how that test goes
Then,
Use your xFD to locate the antenna and therefore the optimal placement of your NExT when trying to read it. again brightest is best,

if you have no luck initially try moving it slowly ( especially if your Diagnostic Card was flashing rather than steady)

Incase you weren’t aware, you want to be presenting your NExT ( and xFD when testing ) perpendicular to the antenna like this

orientation

just like on your phone when using the HF side.

I have also had some readers that I have struggled with also, but by doing a “swipe” method rather than just a “present” method, I found this improved my chances of a successful read by a huge amount.

Swiping it across the face, something like this

good luck and I hope these tips work for you

alternatively

You could a different implant with increased read range, something like the FlexEM in your case, which will be a larger implant but with the larger antenna comes better performance with stubborn ( low power) readers.

Also for you to consider would be the:
FlexMT
FlexMN ( If there are any left in stock )
FlexNExT ( currently undergoing redesign )

Let us all now how you go and come back with any questions :+1:

Yeah, of course, I have done this on some of the listings
eg.
It works on the LF side of the NExT, so it should / will work with an xEM

Generally, where you see a NO, It has been tested , but didn’t work
Where you see a YES, It was tested, and did work
There should be a link to the forum post where it was tested and therefore added to the Matrix.

The Orange, would normally be, Theoretically it should / could work, but has not been tested / confirmed by anybody

May i request on this form we add 2 columns. one for Implant size, and one for installation Method (Injector, Needle, scalpal).

:thinking:
hmmmmm, I don’t really think this is the place for that.

We are already using a spreadsheet where a database should be being used.
It’s already quite busy / cluttered, adding another couple of columns is not going to help that.

It’s purpose is to show you what devices are compatible with your implants or vise versa, not what size an implant is and how it can be installed.
Besides, you coud use an injector, needle, scalpel to install an xSeries if you really wanted.

There is a link to each implant that will take you to the store, and generally, sombody looking at the matrix, already has an idea of the implant size and normal installation method.

Also, with regard to the size, what’s the difference between a 2mm and 3mm xSeries, implanted with an injector?

The following are probably a much better format for showing that information

https://loastedtoafinc.com/

and I could probably squeeze a link to one of them on to the matrix

I might be missing something obvious, so it’s not a NO it’s more like a convince me…

I didnt know of the other database, and it doesnt seem great. I actually was using the Chip Compatibility matrix as a sort of repository for all the chips information as well as things that use them.

I am designing a small QA tool, and i needed to know max specs for the chips that are offered and realized that there isnt one spot, so i had to go into each link to check.

As far as installation options, i thought it would be a nice to have, as while an X-Series can be done with a scalpel, an injector is included with it.

Going back to having a central location where this information is housed, that was the tool i used since it appeared to have everything that was needed in an at-a-glance view.

While i agree, Excel shouldnt be used as a database. Sheets does make for an easy way to sort view and see items at a glance. was just a thought.

not a bad thought

I assumed a one stop shop was what you were after

And whilst I agree

I agree with this :point_up: more

WHAAATTTTT ???

its pretty. it has a well designed UI. but there is a lot of eye searching to grab the content needed. For front of house info i think it is perfect.

Not sure if this is still being updated but wanted to add that the Flipper Zero is compatible with the NExT (T5577). I successfully cloned a HIDProx generic RFID badge to my implant using the Flipper Zero and tested the implant in the real world - worked perfectly. Placement of the zero is a bit tricky while programming of course. Found that it helps to put it in constant ASK read mode and then figure out the best orientation. Then leaving the flipper in place on your hand where it read the best, switch to write mode and write what you wish. Guessing since the NExT works, any other T5577 based chips would as well.

Just noticed that the spreadsheet didn’t say YES for the NExT (T5577) but did for the NExT (NTAG216) so I wanted to git it updated if possible since it works great for both.

Cheers buddy, I do neex to do an update around Flipper, and add a few more compatiable implants

Apologies if this is in the wrong category. Bought this nfc door lock off Amazon and wanted to share. $55 confirmed working with xmagic.

It might be worth writing a review of that lock: Reviews - Dangerous Things Forum

Also, @Pilgrimsmaster, there’s a new lock for the matrix.

Not at all,
All good and easily moved.

Thanks for taking the time to share

Cheers buddy, I’ll do that SOON ™
