    1. Introduction 1. Introduction The TWN4 MultiTech Nano Module is a configurable Reader/Writer of RFID transponders. It provides ports that can be connected to antennas operating at low (125kHz, 134.2kHz) and high (13.56MHz) frequencies. The Module can be accessed via a set of interfaces including USB, I2C, SPI, SAM, CAN, GPIO and COM (x2).

    Once the board is connected to a host, a driver must be installed (in case of USB connection). Therefore install the driver included in TWN4 DevPack. When driver installation is finished, a new virtual COM port is available on the PC. Now you can set up a connection to the TWN4 MultiTech Nano using this COM port.
