Thank you for this excellent library! I've been testing this with a random ISO15963 card, and I found that I would always get the following output when reading the card:

Note the 0x2A - when I read the card with NFC TagInfo on a smartphone, all blocks show as 0x00000000. And it's noteworthy that byte 5 of the tag address is also 0x2A.

After a bit of digging and reading the ISO15693 spec, I think that this line (https://github.com/ATrappmann/PN5180-Library/blob/master/PN5180ISO15693.cpp#L131) should be blockData[i] = resultPtr[i+1]; (instead of 2+i) - do you agree?

Thank you for your feedback and sorry for the late answer. I had no time to reproduce the issue yet.
Looks strange for sure. I am wondering if that has to do with the options bit I removed with the last issue. When I started the library I always had this custom options bit set and everything worked fine with my cards. Latley there was a note, that this bit produced write errors to another card which didn't support this. Therefor I cleared the bit for writing and reading... Interesting.
I am glad you found a working solution and reported it back. I will fix it in the next days.

I can confirm that it has to do with enabling the option flags bit.
The supplied code fix is also working as intended.
