Couldn’t find any/related topics on projects using the RC522 module, so I thought I would drop a couple links and projects to get people started if interested in using this module:

The RFID module:

The Arduino library for the RC522:

This library has many different pre-written code/functions for 13.56Mhz tags (shown in image)

Different module, but I used an old SM130 module I had from a project a while ago and used that with UID validation to have an Arduino output a password. Can’t imagine this would be too hard to whip up for this one

Sorry for raising this topic from the dead but did you ever try an x-series with the rc522? How well did it read?

They do read OK but I will die on the hill to say go with a pn532 every time. Ideally the ones from electrohouse but even clones work better than most rc522’s

Thanks, I will finish my current code and then see about switching over to a PN532.
