At the moment i'm bussy with a little project which include 4 RFID readers. The readers are connected to a arduino uno.
I've connected the arduino as a slave on the RPi 3 using this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QumIhvYtRKQ
It is using the Napy module. However in the tutorial they give a example of a arduino code converted to python.
Right now i'm converting the code of my MFRC522 module to python, unfortunally it is not working.
I'm kinda new to python so it is very hard to, i must say the arduino code is not the most basic module.
I've installed the MFRC522 librarie and included it to the Nanpy module.
Can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong?
Thank you a lot in advance.
