A small class to interface with the NFC reader Module MFRC522 on the Raspberry Pi, featuring some convenience scripts for getting an Amiibo's ID number, ideal for use with AmiiboAPI. This is a Python port of the example code for the NFC module MF522-AN.
This code requires you to have SPI-Py installed from the following repository: https://github.com/lthiery/SPI-Py
This repository includes a couple of examples showing how to read, write, and dump data from a chip. They are thoroughly commented, and should be easy to understand.
