Hi, your library seems to be the most recent so it's very usefull for me, thank you. I have a RPI3 and:

1) connected the RFID reader as the schema 2) cloned and install SPI and your library 3) configured /boot/config.txt with

device_tree_param=spi=on
dtoverlay=spi-bcm2708

But when I launch python Read.py nothing happen :(

I read in README that you said:

pin_ce=BOARD numbering pi

What does it mean exactly?

"Board numbering pin" means number of pin based on it's physical position on the board. If you look at http://pinout.xyz/, you see a bunch of pins - each one can be numbered using BCM (Broadcom SOC channel) pinout or BOARD pinout. For example, the BCM 22 pin's BOARD number is 15.
