This repository contains [ESP-IDF](https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf) library (component) for communication with RFID cards using [MFRC522](https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/data-sheet/MFRC522.pdf) reader.

![read-write-example](docs/img/read-write-example.png)

Library takes care of polling the cards and managing the card lifecycle. It also fires events when a card is detected, removed, or when the card changes to any state described in ISO-14443. Additionally, it provides an API for reading and writing to card memory blocks.

## Installation

To install latest version of this component to your project, run:

```bash
idf.py add-dependency "abobija/rc522"
```

Read more about esp-idf component manager in [official documentation](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/stable/esp32/api-guides/tools/idf-component-manager.html).

## Support

- Cards: `MIFARE 1K`, `MIFARE 4K` and `MIFARE Mini`
- Card operations:
    - Read and write to memory blocks ([example](examples/read_write))
- Communication protocols: `SPI` and `I2C`
- ESP-IDF version: `^5`

## Create project from example

> [!TIP]
> To find more interesting examples (like [`memory_dump`](examples/memory_dump)), go to [examples](examples) folder.

To run [`basic`](examples/basic) example, create it as follows:

```bash
idf.py create-project-from-example "abobija/rc522:basic"
```

Then build and flash it as usual:

```bash
cd basic
idf.py build flash monitor
```

> [!NOTE]
> [`basic`](examples/basic) example uses SPI communication. Find defined GPIO configuration in [basic.c](examples/basic/main/basic.c) file.

## Pin Layout

Pin layout is configurable by the user. To configure the GPIOs, check the `#define` statements in the [basic example](examples/basic/main/basic.c). If you are not using the RST pin, you can connect it to the 3.3V.

## Unit testing

To run unit tests, go to [`test`](test) directory and set target to `linux`:

```bash
cd test
idf.py --preview set-target linux
```

Then build the project and run tests:

```bash
idf.py build && ./build/test.elf
```
