Arduino RC522 NFC Reader PCB Board

This is a board that connects the RC522 board with an Arduino Nano.

This project was made out of frustration due to wiring the RC522 board with an Arduino Nano every time I wanted to use it.

The RC522 has many uses including Mifare card reading and writing! This could be reading your arcade card, or even your bus card!

Ordering the PCB - Sponsorship PCBWay

I strongly recommend PCBWay as they have great quality and are cheap. They're a leading provider in PCB manufacturing and prototype services. Their support has made it possible to bring this project to life!

I'm extremely happy with their quality, especially with the following as they beat my expectations:

  • The surface finish was great, the lead-free ENIG finish was smooth and shiny. Often other PCB manufacturers don't handle PCBs well enough so the finishes are rough or uneven(sometimes even oxidized...).
  • The silkscreen was clear and easy to read! A lot of PCB manufacturers tend to have a blurry silkscreen.
  • The PCB had almost no marks from their panellization process, which is great as I've had issues with other manufacturers where the boards had marks.

I'm extremely happy with their quality and definitely recommend their services!

Making this yourself

I've made a detailed guide in the Wiki!
