VMA211 Overview This NFC/RFID controller shield is based on the PN532 chip and can be used for field communication close to 13.56 MHz. This shield comes with an on-board antenna. It is compatible with SPI, IIC, UART interface to communicate and needs to be stacked directly onto the VMA100 UNO control board.
Connections The VMA211 RFID/NFC reader contains an on-board antenna, but for easy mounting reasons, an additional antenna is included in the VMA211 set. The used antenna can be selected by two jumpers on the VMA211 board. ATTENTION! Do not operate the VMA211 without these jumpers.
