      Theres lots of info here on using the rings with Android etc, but what do you use to write to the rings?

      Ie: How can i write a text file or something to one in windows?

        On Android:

        1. NFC Ring Control
        2. Tagstand Writer

        Either one of these should write text to your ring.

        As for PC hardware solutions, such as a USB/NFC device, that's more complex. First, are you looking for Mac, Windows, Linux. A lot of the software is payware, and the free stuff is typically beta and/or command line interface (CLI). https://www.nfcideas.com/#products (but is buggy)

        Some Include:

        https://alioth.debian.org/projects/pcsclite/
        https://github.com/nfcpy/nfcpy

        A finished app just isn't available at the moment for free. At least one that doesn't crash constantly. Hence why everyone is using their android devices at the moment - the software is ok, free, and seems to work well.

            Cool - this is also Android? Or are there plans for expanding to other platforms?

            One idea - with google moving/merging (sort of) Android and Chrome Stores - with the potential to now be able to run Android software on one's chromebox/book - there is the emerging possibility of setting up a terminal of sorts.

            That probably only helps a few people though :-/

              I've sometimes used an Arduino with a PN532 NFC module to read/write the rings. It's a clunky way to do it though.
