Help needed on RFID

[kamalmjan]

Hi all,
:sign0104: here. I was tasked to develop a cheap RFID reader using NFC enabled phone. Is there a library out there that can do this?

I've tried out the NFC library, but the IsNdefIntent method seems did not get triggered when I put the phone near a RFID tag. I verified that both the tag and NFC phone are working as the phone was able to read the tag using application such as NFC tagInfo. Any idea how I should proceed?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Best regards,
Kamal

The NFC library only works with NDEF tags. Can you format the tag as NDEF tag?

Hi Erel,
We've no way to reformat the tag as it is also used in up stream systems. Any suggestion on how I can move forward. Thanks.

If I remember correctly someone has uploaded an extended version of the NFC library. Try to search for it.

The current NFC library will not help you in this case.
