NFC/RFID Nails

Post by saks39 »

https://www.adafruit.com/product/3781

Hello,

I ordered the NFC/RFID Nails listed in the link above. I have tried to code/program them to respond using different NFC reader apps on my android device, however haven't had any luck regarding the app/phone detecting them. They currently do light up when they are in range of an nfc field (Debit terminal) however I was hoping to program/code them. Would anyone have any advice or recommendations? Thanks!

They are just field detectors. There is no NFC capability in them.
Note that these stickers do not actually act as an NFC/RFID tag, they don't transmit any data back - they only blink the LED when in the presence of an RFID electro-magnetic field.
