PN532 NFC/RFID Controller Shield

Postby Delicon » Thu Apr 26, 2012 1:38 pm

How is the PN532 NFC/RFID Controller Shield different from the PN532 NFC/RFID Controller Breakout Board? From the descriptions, the best I can tell is that the UART communication option is not available on the shield.

Thanks,

Vern

One plugs into an Arduino and the other does not (directly)

essentially, yes. the shield has a built in 3V<->5V conversion circuit and is only for use with SPI and I2C and it is arduino shaped
