RFID NFC contactless reader/writer – µFR Nano OEM is an advanced development tool based on NFC and RFID technology. It operates at a frequency of 13.56 MHz, compliant with ISO14443 A&B and ISO18092 standards.
This NFC module is primarily designed as a professional tool for IT companies and individuals engaged in RFID NFC solution development. It comes with free SDK source code examples, cross-platform libraries, upgradeable firmware, and a well-documented API and communication protocol.
We also provide plug-and-play apps that make µFR Nano an excellent choice for end-users, as well.
This small but powerful device is fully featured and fully NFC compatible. It is available with USB, UART (TTL), or RS232 connectivity options. Followed by a well-documented API, software SDK, cross-platform libraries, firmware upgrades, and excellent technical support, it’s a No. 1 tool for any RFID NFC custom project development.
This RFID NFC readers’ RF communication is based on its robust, highly integrated NXP IC interface. The device operates on HF 13.56 MHz and successfully communicates with cards, labels, wristbands, and tags of ISO/IEC 14443 A, ISO/IEC 14443 B, and ISO/IEC 18092 standards.
With outstanding modulation and demodulation concepts and many integrated 13.56 MHz contactless communication protocols, this device implementation becomes reliable and simple for every RFID NFC solution developer.
Both hardware and software, are fully developed, tested, and successfully implemented with MIFARE®, NTAG21x, NTAG 4xx DNA, and JCOP family cards/tags:
Besides, this tool supports all other tags compatible with the listed above.
Even though the supported technologies list is already comprehensive, our development team constantly works on product improvements and upgrades, staying in line with this technology’s global trends.
THIS RFID MODEL IS ALSO AVAILABLE AS AN OEM NFC MODULE.
The OEM board is available in three versions:
Digital Logic proprietary interoperable firmware runs on all MCU platform-based µFR Series hardware. The reader and the host communicate through the high-speed FTDI chip direct access.
At the core, on the communication level, the device uses a Digital Logic unique proprietary communication protocol.
The µFR Series firmware contains many complex built-in functions that can be called via libraries explained in API docs.
Most of the functions are developed to make work easier for developers and integrators by decreasing their development time, such as:
The μFR Firmware key feature is the ability to call all its functions using our communication protocol.
Therefore, the μFR device implementation is possible on almost any platform with a serial interface by using the communication protocol.
Supported platforms include:
Frequent firmware updates include new features, improvements, and bug fixes while preserving backward compatibility with the previous versions. Accordingly, the project code and developed software are safe, so there is no need for any changes after a firmware upgrade. All firmware updates and upgrades are FREE and available at the Digital Logic official website.
This RFID NFC reader comes with a fully-featured Software Development Kit with external libraries, examples with source codes, documentation about API references, communication protocol, and many useful software tools.
Libraries are cross-compiled for various platforms and so far support:
Our team is ready to develop additional libraries on client requests. The request realization speed depends on our current project plans and eventual partnership agreement.
All examples are written for all major developing platforms and languages, such as:
Our team is ready to develop additional SDK examples in other programming languages on client requests. The request realization speed depends on our current project plans and eventual partnership agreement.
The package includes a set of very useful SDK source code software and executable apps. Some of these are:
The documentation contains a detailed explanation of API and communication protocol references, with actual byte-level examples for communication protocol implementation. Our API provides a very comfortable way of implementation, and we highly recommend it. When API implementation is not possible, a communication protocol is a very good alternative. We provide regular updates for all libraries, firmware, examples, tools, and documents. Updates are FREE and are available for download from the official Digital Logic GitLab repository.
