pn532 in UART mode doesn't start properly on Raspberry PI #3

I believe this is same problem as detailed here: https://answers.launchpad.net/nfcpy/+question/237349

When turning on debug logging, it gets stuck:

debug: [hsu] Waking up PN532...

Did you upgrade to 0.0.4 yet? I was encountering this as well and pushed a work around. I was already calling SAMConfig but had a timing issue with the wakeup "prefix" being in a separate serial.write() and thus had to much delay between the two calls.

Just tried 0.0.4. Same problem, unfortunately.

If I run nfc-poll first from the libnfc examples directory, it wakes up the card and then the pn532 node module works fine.

If it helps, I've got a Raspberry Pi B+ model and the PN532 is connected via UART.

I added some more delay in the wakeup that resolved an issue I was using on my Macbook using an FTDI cable. Maybe try again and let me know your findings (I haven't pushed an updated to NPM yet, so you'll need to pull from source until I do so).

I've tagged v0.0.5 if you want to give it a try

viking commented 9 years ago

Unfortunately I don't have the hardware at the moment to try it, but when I do again I will.
