This repository is no longer maintained! Last release of this repository on crates.io was v0.2.0. Ownership over the mfrc522 crate on crates.io has been transferred to @jspngh. @jspngh maintains a MFRC522 driver crate at https://gitlab.com/jspngh/rfid-rs

`mfrc522`

A platform agnostic driver to interface the MFRC522 (RFID reader/writer)

What works

REQuest A
SELECT for single size UIDs

TODO

Make sure this works with the spidev crate (i.e. with the Raspberry Pi)
Anticollision loop -- SELECT works when there's only one nearby tag
Authentication (MFAuthent)
Reading / writing data into the tag
Configurable timeout
Make the API non-blocking and compatible with the interrupt pin
Support double and triple size UIDs -- I don't have hardware (tags) to test this.
???

Examples

There's an example for the Raspberry Pi (3) in the examples directory. The example turns an LED on when a card is nearby and turns it off when a tag in nearby. There's a video of the example here. To reproduce the example you'll have to tweak the values of the card and tag UIDs (Unique IDentifiers).

The same example has been implemented for the Blue Pill development board. You'll find the code for that example in this branch of the blue-pill repository. If that branch is gone, check the master branch.
