MFRC522 Reader stops working after some time

Thu Feb 07, 2019 5:12 am

Hello all,

I am currently experiencing issues with the MFRC522 RFID reader.

The issue I am experiencing is the reader does not read the cards some of the time.

I have followed tutorials for the card reader and it has worked reading and writing the cards that the kit came with but, after some time it stops reading. When the reader stops reading the cards it does however still show as a device on the pi.

My current setup is:
Raspberry Pi Model B, Revision 2
The reader:

Has anybody had the same issue and know how to resolve it?

Regards,
Jake
