RFID/NFC (13.56 MHz), is it possible to send raw bytes and receive response?

I'm trying to implement a card reader (i.e. credit cards) for shopping purposes, and AFAIK those cards are ISO 14443-A compliant (Mifare Classic 1K). I already made an Android app that can send custom APDU to read specific sectors by using raw…

Can the Adafruit PN532 NFC/RFID be used to read Gen-2 EPC class RFID Tags?

I used Mifare Classic cards on a previous project and it worked brilliantly with the RIFD/NFC shield and Arduino Uno. I came across a Gen 2 EPC Class 1 RFID tags. This tags are long range ones. They use an IC chip called Alien Higgs3. I know that…

Is it possible to extend the reach of a PN532 NFC/RFID shield?

I am working off an Arduino Uno with an AdaFruit PN532 NFC/RFID shield. The goal is to have a shoe box, with a false bottom. Under that false bottom would be my prototype, which I hope will be able to detect any MIFARE tag that is in the box, above…

Can we use an alternate RFID reader to read HID cards?

I'm working on a project where I need to read the HID RFID cards. Behind the card it shows as HID 0008p and based on the documentation, it looks like it uses a 125 kHz frequency. I tried using different 125 kHz RFID readers, but I was unable to read…
