The Gravity: UART & I2C NFC Module is built around the NXP PN532, a highly integrated NFC controller that supports a wide variety of NFC cards and tags, including MIFARE Classic and NTAG series.
This upgraded version adopts the Gravity standard PH2.0-4P interface, making it easy to switch between UART and I2C communication protocols. With improved PCB antenna design, this module ensures greater reading range and better signal quality.
It works seamlessly with popular 3.3V/5V controllers like Arduino , micro:bit , FireBeetle ESP32 , and ESP8266 .
About NFC
NFC (Near Field Communication) is a short-range, high-frequency communication technology that allows contactless data transmission within 10 cm. It evolved from RFID and is widely used for mobile payments, access control, ID authentication, and device pairing. NFC is also backward compatible with RFID and supports various modes such as reader/writer, card emulation, and peer-to-peer (P2P) communication.
