Troubleshooting
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
* **I don't get input from reader** or **WARNING: Communication failure, is the MFRC522 properly connected?**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Check your connection, see `Pin Layout`_ .
|
||||
2. Check voltage. Most breakouts work with 3.3V.
|
||||
3. The SPI only works with 3.3V, most breakouts seems 5V tollerant, but try a level shifter.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* **Sometimes I get timeouts** or **tag/card sometimes not work.**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Try other site of the antenna.
|
||||
2. Try to decrease distance between MFRC522.
|
||||
3. Increase antenna gain per firmware: ``mfrc522.PCD_SetAntennaGain(mfrc522.RxGain_max);``
|
||||
4. Use better power supply.
|
||||
5. Hardware corrupted, most products are from china and sometimes the quality is really low. Contact your seller.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* **My tag/card doesn't work.**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Distance between antenna and token too huge (>1cm).
|
||||
2. You got wrong PICC. Is it really 13.56MGhz? Is it really a Mifare Type A?
|
||||
3. NFC tokens are not supported. Some may work.
|
||||
4. Animal marker are not supported. They use other frequency.
|
||||
5. Hardware corrupted, most products are from china and sometimes the quality is really low. Contact your seller.
|
||||
|
||||
* **My mobile phone doesn't recognize the MFRC522** or **my MFRC522 can't read data from other MFRC522**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Card simmulation is not supported.
|
||||
2. Communication with mobile phones is not supported.
|
||||
3. Peer to peer communication is not supported.
|
||||
|
||||
* **I need more features.**
|
||||
|
||||
1. If software: code it and make a pull request.
|
||||
2. If hardware: buy a more expensive like PN532 (supports NFC and many more, but costs about $15)
