Anyone know why I am getting this log output from an ESP32 trying to interface with an RFID-RC522?
My YAML looks like this
spi:
clk_pin: 13
mosi_pin: 3
miso_pin: 14
rc522_spi:
cs_pin: 1
So I have SDA on the reader connected to GPOI01, SCK is connected to GPIO13, MOSI is GPIO03, MISO is connected to GPIO14
