tagreader not reading tags? #187

Open copywizard opened 1 year ago

Hello

Firstly thanks a lot for this nice project.

I have ordered all parts from aliexpress and just got them in and soldered them together using your schematics. But somehow the device won,t scan NFC carts and the led will also not work.

The ESP connects to my HA instance perfectly so i have some logs logs_tagreader-e83bc6_logs.txt

Could you please help me out here?

I have created a NFC tag on the included cart that came with the NFC PCB i wrote a automation/link to it using my mobile phone and using my mobile phone it works fine but for some reason the tagreader won,t read it at all.

If you need any more detailed photos please let me know the soldering is not my best work :( but somehow it connects to wifi and can be found in HA but it won,t scan any tag.

I think you forgot to change the first dip switch on the nfc board to on?

pvh0 commented 1 year ago

And I think you got the soldering wrong, nfc bord is not connected to 5v?

copywizard commented 1 year ago

you where right it was multiple factors like me not reading enough and the dip switch was overlooked and some soldering was reversed :( thanks for the help it seems to work correctly now this can be closed

Good to hear it helped. I’m jealous since I was also struggling today to get it working on esp32 but no luck yet!
