cr95hf not detecting nfc tag (ISO/IEC 14443-A) with ardunio

[Rsana.1]

hi,

I have connected cr95hf with ardunio uno, I am able to receive the response for IDN command correctly ,and set the protocol (ISO/IEC 14443-A) ,but the tag is not detecting, I have attached the code and response logs. I would like to know whats wrong with my code .I have taken the reference code code from the following link

https://community.st.com/s/global-search/cr95hf%20esp8266

I have have changed only protocol,and done the wiring as mentioned in the code

response in serial monitor:

Hi,

can you describe your HW enviroment e.g. X-NUCLEO-NFC03A1 board connected to Arduino or BM019 board connected to Arduino?

Inventory command is an ISO15693-3 command. ISO14443-A tags do not reply to Inventoty command but to REQA or WUPA commands.

Hi,

I have a custom board in which we have CR95HF Ic is interfaced with esp32d2wd ic, but I have soldered jumper wires for spi lines (miso mosi,ss,clk) and IRQ_IN, and connected to ardunio board I am able to receive the response to IDN command it means my wiring is correct and spi communication is working fine.can you provide any example code for detecting ISO14443-A tags , as you said that ISO14443-A tags do not reply to Inventoty command but to REQA or WUPA commands,what is REQA or WUPA commands ,can you provide any code with these commands

[Brian TIDAL]

Hi

REQA/WUPA are part of the ISO14443-3 command set.

A complete polling loop example is provided in X-CUBE-NFC3. This includes the NFC-A/ISO14443-A technology detection and anti-collision.
