Elechouse PN532 NFC Module V3 for Arduino etc.
-
@Lokki thanks for your suggestion, but that manual I have earlier than my first NFC shield. What I've understood from that manual I've used while wiring. The sample codes are also from there...
I've checked the document 10 times also the wiring, tried to re-install the libraries, but the result is the same. That's why I've uploaded the photo, maybe you or somebody else has better eyes or more experience, what to check or where to look around... -
@Pingi are you still using 19200 as the serial speed? If so, could you try some other settings there, up to 115200?

hello
I'm having the same problem: arduino one brake on the line nfc.begin();
I'm new in arduino and nfc, but I've downloaded pn532 libraries, set pin 1-0 on the board, all the 4 wires are ok (vcc, gnd, sda, scl); the serial speed is set to 115200
in this code:#include <Wire.h> #include <PN532_I2C.h> #include <PN532.h> #include <NfcAdapter.h> PN532_I2C pn532i2c(Wire); PN532 nfc(pn532i2c); void setup(void) { Serial.begin(115200); Serial.println("Hello!"); nfc.begin(); Serial.println("second Hello!");
the serial write just the first Hello!
I can't find a solution... Help me!!ok
now it works!
in SPI mode (jumper 0 - 1) and SCK MISO MOSI SS VCC GNDthank you all

I, too, stops on the line nfc.begin(); if disconnect board or select another pin - Didn't find PN53x board. Connect to I2C. SPI don`t work too.

@Lokki , thanks for the hint. I've tried the whole range from 9600 up to 250000, but the result is the same.
@Sergey , I think, that we both have the same issue, I've also checked the twi.c and my intention was that my code stopped on the same line. What the hell? Has anybody better understanding of the I2C protocol? Maybe the NFC shield is absolutely not responding to I2C protocol? But, I've 3 NFC shields of the same type but ordered from 3 different shops. The result is the same.... It's very hard to imagine, that all 3 shields are wrong, so the question is, what are we doing wrong?!

@Pingi Hi. I think you should write about this problem on stackoverflow. Maybe Michael Roland spots your question and helps you, he is quite good in NFC things! Dont forget to come back with the solution to this forum ;)!
-
Try the same that I did! Read my previous reply. I made it work.
-
@Javier, thanks for the hint. I did not understood all you tries, but I've verified the followings already:
- resetting arduino
- changing voltage source from 5v to 3.3V
What I do not understand is:
- removing firmware lines of code
-
Has anyone worked with this module on raspberry pi?!
I just tried i2c connection, the raspberry pi is able to detect the device, but still I don't know which library will work. Please can someone help?! -
Hey guys, found this Thread via google. I have exactly the same issue with a Arduino Nano and ElecHouse V3 Board. I have 3 boards ordered over an Aliexpress dealer.
- wired via i2c
- 3,3V used
- switch set to 1/0 for i2c
- downloaded the libraries from elechouse github
- power LED on board is on
- used demo code from elechouse (and the pieces posted above)
- removed all unneeded code related to SPI and Serial
- also tried with 2 additional 10k pullup resistors on I2C
-> same problem on all 3 V3 Boards - the code hangs on "nfc.begin". I have added a 2nd serial print "Hello" after "nfc.begin". This Hello isn't printed, only the first one. So it definatly hangs on this point.
If I disconnect GND from board on the "Hello" point I get this output (Debug is enabled on PN532_debug.h):
Hello!
write: 02
wait for ack at : 9101
Time out when waiting for ACK
Didn't find PN53x board -
Tried an other Arduino Nano - it works. So maybe the I2C Pins or smthg else was bricked on the Nano.

@Pingi Some examples code have this lines of code:
I commented because the library could be bad.void setup(void) { Serial.begin(115200); Serial.println("Hello!"); nfc.begin(); // uint32_t versiondata = nfc.getFirmwareVersion(); // if (! versiondata) { // Serial.print("Didn't find PN53x board"); // while (1); // halt // } // // // Got ok data, print it out! // Serial.print("Found chip PN5"); Serial.println((versiondata>>24) & 0xFF, HEX); // Serial.print("Firmware ver. "); Serial.print((versiondata>>16) & 0xFF, DEC); // Serial.print('.'); Serial.println((versiondata>>8) & 0xFF, DEC);

I have the same problem.
I have my pn532 v3 connected to my arduino mega via i2C.
But I only get the "Hello" message trough the Serial Monitor.
As suggested by Waldi the programm seems to get stuck at nfc.begin().does anyone have a fix for this problem?
-
@Lokki Hello sir. I have been trying to make my RFID work but with no success. I copied and pasted your previous codes, as I am very very new with PN532. May I know what could be the concern if as I run the program, it only stops on 'Im a Car!' or to @shagun_8 's code 'NFC Tag Writer'. Please help. Thank you

Hi Guys!
We ran into the same problem: PN532 V3 Module from elechouse and try to use it with I2C. After nfc.begin it stuck and no answer from module.
After a lot of digging we found a solution. If you are using the Library which is extended with HSU compatibility in the end of PN532/PN532.h file there is the declaration of the buffer:
uint8_t pn532_packetbuffer[255];If we changed the pn532_packetbuffer array size from 255 to 64 then the I2C communication starts immediately and the module could read data from tags. So the line in the header should look like this:
uint8_t pn532_packetbuffer[64];Probably the buffer size was changed because of the HSU communication, while in the original repository this value is still 64, but unfortunately it does not fit to I2C communication
Hope this helps for some people, who have the same problem.

I have the same problem. I soved this problem just soldering two wires in the IRQ and RSTO ports of elctohouse module, and connecting respective in digital ports 2 and 3. looks like this

@Peter176 Registered here just to say thanks. I struggled with this for a little bit until finding your post. This solves the "Didn't find PN53x board" problem!

hy @Tompson-Lopes-Neves and @Peter176
i have problem about nfc v3, nfc can't read card and "Didn't find PN53x board"
can you help me?
give me code, true
thanks -
