#NFC TAG READER INSTALL#
You have to download and install both libraries using Arduino’s “Add. We will install it as a library just in case.

The libraries are don/NDEF and Seeedstudio’s, the one we will be mainly using is don’s since Seeedstudio’s library is used if you have the Seeedstudio NFC shield. Once we have all the parts together, we need to install two libraries that will make the reading and writing on tags possible. iPhones only use their NFC capability for apple pay, therefore you cannot use them to read tags or anything else. Unfortunately for iPhone users, the only iPhones that supports NFC are the iPhone 6 and the 6s, but they do not support NFC tag reading so just use the Arduino to test out what your tag has written on them. Most smartphones running Android should be able to read NFC tags, and I will be testing with a Nexus 5. To test whether what we wrote on the tags was successful, we can test with the Arduino or with an NFC-enabled phone. It is important that the NFC Tags are rewritable, otherwise this won't work. Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment).The tags these days carry between 96 and 4,096 bytes of information. They use magnetic induction between two between two small loop antennas. NFC tags require no power input whatsoever.

Near field communication devices have to be very near to each other, usually between 10cm, but the range can vary depending on the device that is transmitting and the size of the tag. Near field communication are protocols that electronic devices use to communicate and transfer data between each other. Use an Arduino to read NFC tags and write information on them! What's NFC?
