Still haven’t had much time to set up emulation and stuff, but maybe will help you compare:
EDIT, for clarity: Mine is a FlexMN WEDGE, with NO blinkies, which has the new wedge antenna shape.
TAGInfo Full scan:
Also some NFC Tools (unreliable, but good for comparison):
Also, some things I noticed:
It is really fiddly to get a read.
I have to try a while and get a couple of failed reads before getting one that works, and the range also seems to be quite small. I have to touch it to my phone to get it reading.
When it reads, it takes quite a long time to fully read it.
Comparing to my FlexDF2, already installed, also wedge shape but with the older antenna model, My full reads take about 1/3 of the time that the MN takes, and I can read consistently pretty much all the time, from multiple angles and distances.
I am not sure if this performance difference comes from the chip or the new antenna.
Also an important disclaimer:
This comparison doesn’t mean that the chip isn’t good. If I am comparing an emulation chip to a DesFire EV2, I will always expect it to be slower or less consistent than the DF (which is amongst the best performance crypto chips you can find ready to implant at the present time -Since Apex ain’t there yet).
My main concern comes from the antenna point of view…
It has the new Antenna we saw on the Walletmoor’s thread (both sides of the chip).
I would expect it to have at least more range than the “old” wedge antenna, but I’m seeing a much smaller range:
.
Reader . . . . . FlexMN . . . . . FlexDF2
KBR(DT) . . . . ~0.5cm . . . . . ~1.5cm
Phone . . . . . . 0(touch) . . . . . ~1cm
Wiegand . . . . . ~1cm . . . . . . ~3cm
.
notes: both on the phone and on KBR I didn’t experience any difference from the DF chip in the baggie and under the skin.
I sure need to do some more experiments.
Now about the NDEF side of things:
I won’t have much more time to mess with it for a couple of days, but right now, there seems to be no way to write to it from my phone.
