@Borja-Blasco Generally it is possible to use the Pins of the camera connector. They are connected to the said Pxx pins. Be aware, that P13-P18 are input-only. Using them as output fails.

@robert-hh took some debugging, but I did manage to make it work like you said. Thanks a lot!

Me too, same issue. It is possible that Pycom is not aswering on this??

Same topic: https://forum.pycom.io/topic/2469/easy-way-to-tell-what-expansion-board-is-in-use Here's a method to create a generic exp. board object: from pycoproc import Pycoproc from pysense import Pysense from pytrack import Pytrack # create exp board object using unknown board type pyexp = Pycoproc(1) if pyexp.read_product_id() == 61458: print("Using Pysense") pyexp = Pysense() if pyexp.read_product_id() == 61459: print("Using Pytrack") pyexp = Pytrack() Later on use eg: if pyexp.board_type == pyexp.PYSENSE: si7006 = SI7006A20() Perhaps someone can tell us the id for the Pyscan board.

@GreenGrouch Try to move the line "p_inP14 = Pin ..." before the while instruction

@mia1913 don’t know the details of the interface / library, but at a low level, 7 and 10-byte UUIDs are actually transmitted in several round trips. For a 7-byte UUID, only 3 bytes of the UUID are returned, and the other byte is a special value which means “there’s more”. You then do another request which returns the remaining 4 bytes. No idea how this is/should be handled on the Pyscan, though.

@rskoniec Yes, I tried it, but it did not work. The type of NFC tage I use is Ntag213.

Thank you @paul-thornton, I just saw the addition to the web page with the mechanicals. I'll start drawing my board ;)

@Paul-Thornton Thanks for the pointers and @theshade thanks for the library. Can we find out how this works in deepsleep? Questions such as: Does the PCA remain powered up? Can we choose to power it down if we aren't using it? Can the PCA interrupt line be used? If so how? Can the PCA interrupt signal the PIC to wake the main processor from deepsleep? If so, how do we establish why we woke from deepsleep? Can the PIC tell us? Or perhaps you could just give us the schematics/PIC code and we could figure it out ;-) Thanks!!

Hi @soulsurfer, Thanks for noticing! I'll let the team know. We're using the .mpy version to save memory, so your project can take up more space. May I ask what are you missing from the documentation?

@dan thx for testing but shouldn't it be 2 - 5 cm instead of mm? At least that is my experience with other rfid/nfc boards. Several mm is nothing when using an enclosure...I can't imagine that this is the ultimate goal of the supplied antenna

Hello Laurent, Please take a look here again: https://docs.pycom.io/chapter/datasheets/boards/pyscan.html We have added more info and links to the libraries. Cheers, Daniel

@jmarcelino Okay, thanks. I've missed that one. Can you tell me what kind of chip is used on pyscan board for NFC/RFID?
