Hello all. I’ve been tackling this issue for about two weeks now and have been slowly achieving what can only be described as “random progress”.
I’m trying to make an NFC reader based on adonno’s famous guide, except I’m using a Velleman VMA211 instead of the red scanner he uses. The problem I’m facing now is that the D1 Mini detects the shield and all seems okay as the logs show:
[14:41:42][C][i2c.arduino:038]: I2C Bus:
[14:41:42][C][i2c.arduino:039]: SDA Pin: GPIO4

[14:41:42][C][esp8266_pwm:024]: Frequency: 1000.0 Hz
However, I can’t get any NFC chip detected, and after a while I get this:
[14:44:06][W][pn532:090]: Requesting tag read failed!
[14:44:07][W][pn532:090]: Requesting tag read failed!
[14:44:08][W][pn532:090]: Requesting tag read failed!
Sometimes it outputs this message once every second, per the update time set, and sometimes it’ll take 2-3 seconds (though that might be from me messing with the jumpers). Sometimes it feels like it outputs those messages when I try to scan something, but then it either keeps going after I remove the tag, or it won’t output anything if I try again.
It also outputs this after a while:
[14:46:34][I][ota:105]: Boot seems successful, resetting boot loop counter.
I’ve set the toggle switches for I2C (or IIC as it appears on the board), that’s SET0 on H and SET1 on L, and I have jumpers on SCL and SDA only.
Any help and/or knowledge about this is appreciated. Thanks!
