<![CDATA[M5Dial mising nfc machine module...]]>hi all... just recived my m5dial and connected it to my uiflow2.0 and trying to find how to read nfc tag ... but can't find any machine module for it... is that something in making or i need to search for some library

I remember seeing RFID 2 Unit (WS1850S) that was also i2c that had modules in UIFlow... would not be easy to just copy it there...?

I think it is core function of m5dial would be nice to be able to work with that

good news. M5Dial internal RFID reader is now supported in UIFlow2 alpha-29.

Thanks

please check out the example code below to get the card UID into an UIFlow2 label.

Notes:

  • you need to create a label first
  • observe the global rdr statement at the top of the first Execute code block. It is required to make the function getUID work
  • observe the function getUID is of the type with return parameter, although it is not set. The return value is set by the return statement in the Execute code block.

Please find the complete example here.

Thanks
Felix

Kind of new to all this stuff.

I found an existing MFRC522 library which I modified so it can be used with UIFlow2 and M5Dial.

The mrfc522.py library file can be downloaded into M5Dial using Chrome, UIFlow2 and its Device File Manager. Place it alongside the already existing boot.py and main.py.

After that you can use an Execute code block to run an example to read the version, scan, read or write a card.

Note : tested with UIFlow2.0.0 Alpha-28 firmware.

Thanks
Felix

Def would be nice to have something more that "coming"

es, this feature is coming soon.

Any indication when? "Comming soon" is not realy telling when to expect. If it is a week or 2 i can wait ... if it is 2mth i will probably spend my money somwhere else to get other dial like that is supported by circuitpython as i have a deadline in project.
