RFID-MFRC522 on NanoPi Neo


AndreWicked

Recommended Posts

I2C protocol, which is needed for this device, is supported but disabled by default. Use armbian-config to enable the appropriate I2C port or edit .fex file (decompile-edit-compile) /boot/script.bin if you are using old legacy 3.4.y kernel.

RPi GPIO is on Raspberry Pi.


I am not aware of Python libraries, but officially is this what you get: https://github.com/friendlyarm/WiringNP

Thanks for the quick response. But can you explain it to me then? http://wiki.friendlyarm.com/wiki/index.php/RPi.GPIO_:_NanoPi_NEO/NEO2/Air_GPIO_Programming_with_Python

As I understand in the official ROMs there is support RPi.GPIO.

We deal with board hardware issues and OS. I rarely use Python and I am sure those libraries can be easily installed but this I don't know. You can also do some search or wait for someone that plays with this.

 

For setting GPIO on and off you don't need any libs http://linux-sunxi.org/GPIO

Now I understand. Thank you very much, I will understand further.

Since NanoPi-Neo is using H3 SoC, you can use this python library :

Sorry,

apt-get install python-dev 

solved the problem.

If you wish to test some gpio pins, here a small flasher script :

#!/usr/bin/python

import time
from pyA20.gpio import gpio
from pyA20.gpio import port

gpio.init()
gpio.setcfg(port.PA20, gpio.OUTPUT)
while True:
	gpio.output(port.PA20, gpio.LOW)
	time.sleep(0.25)
	gpio.output(port.PA20, gpio.HIGH)
	time.sleep(0.25)

If you wish to send something on I2C port, you will have to study the RFID-MFRC522 datasheet to figure out what to send and what to retrieve...

But here is at least small example how to initialize some other kind of I2C devices, here is another flasher script working with a MCP23017 GPIO expander :

 

#!/usr/bin/env python

import time
from pyA20 import i2c

i2c.init("/dev/i2c-1")
i2c.open(0x20)
i2c.write([0x00, 0x00])
i2c.write([0x01, 0x00])
while True:
	i2c.write([0x12, 0x0F])
	i2c.write([0x13, 0x0F])
	time.sleep(0.15)
	i2c.write([0x12, 0xF0])
	i2c.write([0x13, 0xF0])
	time.sleep(0.15)

Thank you, it worked. Last question, you write that RFID Reader needs to be connected by I2C, and on many forums write about SPI, I'm a little confused. Will you prompt?

You're right ! I've mentioned I2C simply because I saw Igor talking about it in his first reply ...

For SPI, you need to add spidev overlay in your /boot/armbianEnv.txt along with proper parameters. (refer to : https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Allwinner_overlays/ )

Then, you can try this small SPI loopback script to verify :

#!/usr/bin/python

from pyA20 import spi

data = [0x00,0x01,0x02,0x03,0x04,0x05]

spi.open("/dev/spidev0.0")
spi.write(data)
data = spi.xfer(data, len(data))
spi.close()
print data

You must have done a typo somewhere ...

Just to prove that do the following before the "open" :

 


print dir(spi)

 

I copied your code:

#!/usr/bin/python

from pyA20 import spi

data = [0x00,0x01,0x02,0x03,0x04,0x05]

print dir(spi)
spi.open("/dev/spidev0.0")
spi.write(data)
data = spi.xfer(data, len(data))
spi.close()
print data

and run it

root@NanoPi-NEO:/# sudo python test_spi.py
['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '__package__', '__path__']
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test_spi.py", line 8, in <module>
    spi.open("/dev/spidev0.0")

You had an error in this line.

from pyA20 import spi

 

I changed to

from pyA20.spi import spi

And got this error

root@NanoPi-NEO:/# sudo python test_spi.py
['__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '__package__', 'close', 'open', 'read', 'write', 'xfer']
Segmentation fault

Still Unbelievable ...

You got proper "dir" with "from pyA20.spi import spi" instead of "from pyA20 import spi" instead of "from pyA20 import spi" but still got that "Segmentation fault".

Do you have set overlays properly ? what does "ls /dev/spidev*" report ?

Still, I don't understand why the "from pyA20.spi import spi" was required, maybe bug introduced since I last fetch that library ...

 

Just in case, here is my orangepi_PC_gpio_pyH3-master.zip I'm using since Nov 2015 ...

Everything turned out with RPi.GPIO_NP library

https://github.com/chainsx/RPi.GPIO.NP

SPI-Py Library

https://github.com/lthiery/SPI-Py.git

And 

https://github.com/BiTinerary/OrangePiZeroMFRC522

 

On NanoPi Neo, the libraries from OrangePi Zero are completely suitable, even the pinouts are the same.

root@NanoPi-NEO:~/OrangePiZeroMFRC522/MFRC522-python# sudo python Read.py
Welcome to the MFRC522 data read example
Press Ctrl-C to stop.
Card detected
Card read UID: 194,86,17,48
Size: 8
Sector 8 [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]

You can fix it somewhere, if anyone else needs to implement an RFID reader with NanoPi Neo, since it takes very little space :) 

Thank you for your help!
