9.5 day update:
Ive been using my hand mostly normally for a bit now and ive gotten several things set up with the apex. Just today the last steristrip came off and ive gotten a first look at the install site after the install itself and it looks pretty good.
At this point I can consistently read it with my phone but still only with the case off. I find that weird since I can read my NExT through the phone case… Dispite that though, ive set it up as my tesla card the other day and it worked on that reader surprisingly well. Ive set up fido2 now for my google and college login, ive had ndef working since i tested in the package, Ive installed the OTP app but havent moved any codes over yet. Ive tried to use the vivokey app to log in to the forum but i always get ‘nfc error’.
At this point (and ill probably make a thread for this) the next thing i want to look into is emulating desfire since i have 2 desfire systems that it would be cool to use with my apex. One of them Im a sysadmin of so i can enroll if i want, and the other i have a friend in the orgs IT that sounds willing as long as theres a way to do it without him just giving me master keys or something which i bet there is (im just a dumbass and dont know much about desfire yet).
