Currently, applications with RFID are no longer strange to us, with a huge open source code like Arduino, STM, … the approach to the RFID RC522 module becomes extremely easy. However, the library resources used on the ESP32 ESP-IDF are currently quite limited, so today I would like to introduce a library for the ESP32 to communicate with the RC522 RFID using the library I wrote on the ESP-IDF.

Introducing ESP32


We are so familiar with the ESP8266 wifi module, not only for the environment of students, but also for commercial projects, such as: SONOFF .. the big names of the community. SMART DEVICE. So what is the next choice after ESP8266 ? The answer from the manufacturer of the ESP (espressif.com) is: “ESP32”.

Terrible configuration, increased functionality, increased number of I/O pins, more sensors, reasonable price… is what ESP32 brings.

  • Current :13-26mA
  • Current in standby: 1013mA
  • Current at rest: <80uA
  • Carrier Frequency: 13.56MHz
  • Operating distance: 0 ~ 60 mm (mifare1 card)
  • Supported cards: mifare1 S50, mifare1 S70, mifare UltraLight, mifare Pro, mifare Desfire
  • Communication port: SPI, maximum speed 10Мbps
  • Size: 40mm 60mm
  • Capable of reading and writing

Prepare

Connect ESP32 with Module RC522

  • NodeMCU (D18)  <->  RC522 (SCK)
  • NodeMCU (D5)  <->    RC522 (SS)
  • NodeMCU (D23)  <->  RC522 (MOSI)
  • NodeMCU (D19)  <->  RC522 (MISO)

Steps to take

1. Install ESP-IDF

2. Download example from my repo on Github RC522-ESP-IDF

Click github link and clone

Click github link and clone or download project to get code

Note: the project directory should be equal to the installed esp-idf directory

  1. Open ESP-IDF Command Prompt (cmd.exe) and go to rc522-esp-idf

cd ..\rc522-esp-idf

  1. Build example rc522-esp-idf

idf.py build

Build success
  1. Upload code to board ESP32

idf.py flash monitor

Flash success

Place your NFC tag near the Module and observe the tag’s UID shown on the screen. Above is a tutorial on using RFID RC522 to communicate with ESP32 programmed on ESP-IDF environment.
