Goal
Reverse engineer MFRC522 RFID reader, create circuit design, add a ribbon cable connector, have RST pin be pulled low.
To Do
- Test MFRC522 in Rust crate ➕ 2024-09-29 ✅ 2025-05-02
- Test the small picofarad capacitors to see what the values are ➕ 2024-10-28 ✅ 2025-03-02
- Check that MFRC522 chips can be ordered on ➕ 2024-09-29 ✅ 2024-10-28
- Decide on asymmetry of TX1/TX2 ➕ 2024-10-03 ✅ 2024-10-28
- See which side of TX the RX/VMID connects to on the actual board ➕ 2024-10-03 ✅ 2024-10-08
- Add ribbon cable connector ➕ 2024-06-20 ✅ 2024-10-03
- Give all capacitors and resistors their values in circuit ➕ 2024-09-29 ✅ 2024-10-03
- Connect crystal ➕ 2024-09-29 ✅ 2024-10-03
- Connect LED ➕ 2024-09-29 ✅ 2024-10-03
- Connect antenna ➕ 2024-09-29 ✅ 2024-10-03
- Ensure pull up resistor to disable board ➕ 2024-09-29 ✅ 2024-10-03
- Pull capacitors off of a working board to figure out what values they are ➕ 2024-06-25 ✅ 2024-09-29
Notes
MF522-AN chip is based on the original Philips MFRC522 chip. Every RFID chip has a unique ID. Additionally you can store encrypted data on many RFID’s as well.

- Holding the RST pin low disables the board. Board is reset by a positive edge and enabled when held high.

- Donskytech article about using RPi with MFRC522 reader
- Tutorial that shows how to voltage regulate the 5V signals to 3.3V and how to read on an Arduino. Voltage regulation is not required - see note below
- Article about RC522 RFID modules. Explains that the communication pins of the board are 5V tolerant so no need to voltage regulate as other articles describe

- This chap on StackExchange explains how to attach multiple RC522 readers to one RPi by cycling the RST pins and multiplexing the SPI.

The RST pin of the RC522 RFID module is level triggered. Low powers down the board, high powers up and causes a board reset.
