NFC with Python & Raspberry Pi

Post by user9333 »

Hi everyone. I was hoping that someone here would be able to help me. Im looking for a way to create a python script on a raspberry pi that allows me to read data from NFC tags. I have adafruits NFC reader (https://www.adafruit.com/products/789) which I hope to use for this. I'v seen the tutorial on the adafruit learning system (https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-nfc ... i/overview) but it doesn't cover what I mentioned above.

I'd be really grateful if someone could point me towards a tutorial or even try to describe what I need to do themselves.

Thanks, Tekk3y

Adafruit doesn't support libnfc, so I don't have any help for you. Maybe somebody else will chime in.

These forums seem dead to me so its unlikely. So you'r telling me that I cant use this with a Raspberry Pi?

Not at all. It works fine with a Pi. We just don't have any python examples. The libnfc library has several examples, but those are all written in C, I believe.

However, googling "libnfc python" brings up several hits that should be able to help you:
