5PCS PN532 NFC NXP RFID - Review

If you're a Raspberry Pi enthusiast who's fond of tinkering with NFC (near field communication) technologies, the Shutao 5PCS PN532 NFC NXP RFID Module V3 User Kit is definitely worth checking out. This kit comes with five PN532 NFC NXP RFID modules, each with a white card key card, and is designed to make embedded NFC communications a breeze.

One of the first things that caught my attention about this kit is its small dimensions. Each module is compact and easy to embed into practically any project. You can easily connect them to your Raspberry Pi using one of three available communication modes: I2C, SPI, or HSU. Switching between these modes is also a breeze thanks to the module's on-board level shifter.

But what really matters when it comes to an NFC module is its reading distance. That's where these PN532 modules really shine, with a typcial operating distance of between 5 and 7 centimeters. This should be more than enough for most Raspberry Pi NFC projects.

Another cool feature of these modules is that they can work in either NFC mode or as an RFID reader/writer. In the former mode, they can be used to exchange data with other NFC devices like smartphones. In the latter mode, you can use them as 1443-A cards or virtual cards.

For most hobbyists looking to get started with NFC, this kit is fantastic. Each module comes with a white card key card and works seamlessly with the Raspberry Pi. The 5-pack of modules also makes it easy to experiment with a variety of different NFC projects.

While the Shutao kit is very accessible for DIY enthusiasts, it's not the only NFC kit on the market. If you're looking for something with even more features, you may want to check out some of the other options available. For example, the Elechouse PN532 NFC Precise RFID IC Card Reader Module is a popular alternative that's pre-loaded with firmware and supports a variety of different communication protocols.

Overall, I was really impressed with the Shutao 5PCS PN532 NFC NXP RFID Module V3 User Kit. It's a fantastic choice for DIY enthusiasts who are looking to experiment with NFC technologies and the Raspberry Pi. The reading distance is impressive, and the three available communication modes make it easy to connect to any project you're working on. If you're thinking of buying this kit, we would recommend that you do so!
