NFC ring & NFC Reader writer

Zombiehug

Have anybody know if we can program NFC ring with stationary NFC readear writer ?

I am interested in that because i have phone without NFC.

@Zombiehug Yes, I believe you can. It is just an NFC tag, so you can write whatever you like to it within the memory limits of the tag.

Yeah, of course it works check the the FAQ for the exact standards http://store.nfcring.com/pages/faqs

@Zombiehug yes, definitely. My preferred method is via Arduino with a PN532 reader/writer unit. There is a large range of USB PC interfaces as well, just make sure that any you do get is for NFC at 13.560MHz!

Zombiehug

Thanks a lot. I was thinking to easily program its on my facebook page and maybe mail or instagram, because actually i dont have anymore ideas XD

Lafunamor

@Zombiehug you could also do this from a phone of a friend just ask them kindly

I have ordered the ACR122U NFC-reader a minute ago. It should arrive by the end of the week. Then I will share my experiences with this reader.

Lokki

Ah cool, I've been wondering how one of those would go.

Lafunamor

they're good readers but sadly there is no dirver that makes them run as win8 nfc reader...

This site says it should work ;)

Lokki

Looks like they offer an SDK download for it as well, by request.

As well as a PDF regarding APIs which should be helpfull for develpoment ;)

Lokki

Drivers etcetera

I looked for the SDK but it costs about 150$ and it also dosn't support Windows 7 and 8 :(

Lafunamor

you don't need the sdk, you only need the reader itself. all the other stuff can be downloaded (if you ask me kindly I'll send you the rest ;-)
the reader works under Win 7 / 8 but not as a Windows 8 proximity device (new introduced functionality in win8)

If it works as an emulated COM-Port it would be perfect! For Windows 8 proximity devices I want to build an application later, since most of the people still use Windows 7 ;)

EDIT: It's detected as a smartcard reader, if anyone is interested in it...
