Guys,
I added support for the ChameleonMini, ChameleonTiny and ChameleonTiny Pro Bluetooth in SiRFIDaL.
You can connect your Chameleon device with a USB-C cable, SiRFIDaL will automatically see it (if you configured it properly), set the slot you chose in reader mode and transparently poll the Chameleon continuously for ISO14443A transponders in the field.
In other words, you can use your Chameleon as a regular NFC reader to log in and out, unlock your screensaver, send automated commands or passwords, emulate a keyboard wedge, and all the other fabulous things you can do with SiRFIDaL. Yeees, you know you want it
This is pretty useful if you travel a lot with a laptop and you want to authenticate with your implant, but you don’t want to clutter up your laptop bag with a full-size desktop reader. Particularly if you own a ChameleonTiny, because it truly is tiny. Personally, I always carry mine in my pocket. Now it doubles as a reader I can use with my PC also:
I’ll add support for the ChameleonMini / Tiny over BLE when I finally find time to figure out the exact protocol. For now it only works with a USB connection. But at least there’s a rationale for it: you can charge the Chameleon while it serves as a reader at the same time, so it’s not just sitting there doing nothing useful.
