+ * This is a MFRC522 library example; see https://github.com/miguelbalboa/rfid

+ *
+ * NOTE: The library file MFRC522.h has a lot of useful info. Please read it.

+ * Released into the public domain.

+ * This sample shows how to read and write data blocks on a MIFARE Classic PICC
+ * (= card/tag).
+ *
+ * BEWARE: Data will be written to the PICC, in sector #1 (blocks #4 to #7).
