One of my projects-to-be is to do certain functions when I touch my NFCRing (NFCRing) to the device. Different things like unlocking doors, firing off secured actions, etc…
I’m thinking of using the MIFARE™ Module SL018 (http://www.stronglink-rfid.com/en/rfid-modules/sl018.html), but if anyone has any better/easier/cheaper/smaller suggestions for an NTAG203 Mifare-compatible NFC reader, I’d love to hear them!
I also just found the Xadow NFC board, it looks nice because the antenna is flexible: Xadow NFC
I just don’t know if that ribbon cable meant to work with their special Arduino would be mungeable to connect to a Spark Core?
Thoughts?
I was having a hard time finding more information on that ribbon cable, I think it’s designed to be modular with Xadow’s other modules. It looks like this sensor does I2C, and UART, so I would think it should work with the Core, but I don’t know much about that product line.
There might be a more bare sensor that might do the trick, maybe something like http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/1356Mhz-RFID-module-IOSIEC-14443-type-a-p-196.html – maybe someone who’s played with 13.56Mhz NFC / rfid stuff can recommend something.
Thanks!

The Stronglink readers work nicely with Arduino
Here’s some intro:

and the library:
Good luck
