Python module for NFC communication

Install

Run the following commands in order:

1. virtualenv python-2
2. source python-2/bin/activate
3. python setup.py develop
4. pip install -r requirements-dev.txt

Run

To launch the simultaneous multi-reader implementation, run:

python app/kitchen-readers.py --loop

Remove the --loop switch to continuously read tag data

Troubleshooting

When readers are first connected on Linux, they may be locked by the Linux NFC subsystem kernel driver. To release them, run:

sudo modprobe -r pn533_usb

Other errors and potential fixes can be found by running:

python -m nfc
