m6e nano with raspberry pi

Sensors NFC & RFID

How about dear.

First of all, thank you for the contribution.

I am an electronic engineering student and I am about to start a project.

The query is: For the M6E nano to be able to identify tags I must connect.

-M6E NANO - RASPBERRY PI (5V - 5V) (GND - GND) (TX - GPI02PIN3)) (RX - GPIO3PIN5) ?

  • Where would you connect the antenna?

  • In order for it to start identifying tags, should I purchase any other product?

  • Could the antenna be a coaxial cable?

-In the m6e nano, what would be the antenna pin?

:roll:

thank you very much again

Greetings

There is good documentation on https://www.sparkfun.com/products/14066 ( click on DOCUMENTS middle of page righthand). Look to the HOOKUP guide.

  • You will find all the Antenna information.

  • While your connection to the Raspberry is correct, be aware that the M6E is very sensitive to a strong power supply. The wall wart that is normally used with a Raspberry PI is strong enough but good enough for testing.

  • Make sure to order tags ( e.g. https://www.sparkfun.com/products/20228)

  • As for software, you will need the ThingMagic MercuryAPI from Jadak. It has good examples in C, Java, C# ( https://www.jadaktech.com/resources/rfi … t-library/)

  • The M6E can get hot quickly, especially with higher powers. It might need a cooling block
