RFID2 Unit and Core2 Processor
-
I've bought an RFID2 reader/writer unit which I connected to the M5 CORE2 processor.
Using the web based UIFlow, I do not see a specific unit type RFID2 to add to the unit list. For this reason I've added the default RFID and the basic functions are OK and support functions like "card near", tag ID, read and write from address x, like 1. With few UIflow commands and a logic loop I was able to build a basic RFID Tag reader & writer and also to get the UID information.
Please clarify in some more depth the use of read from "addr" and write to “addr”.
My guess is that "addr" means sector number, where we find 16 sectors each constructed with 4 blocks, as shown in the memory reader of the "Android NFC Tools – function Memory Hex". There are 3 blocks of data, each 16 characters long, followed by one block of keys.
Sector 0 is used for UID.Sector 0 → UID
Sector 1 → Data1
Sector 2 → Data2
Sector 3 → Key
Sector 4 → Data3, etcMy doubt: By writing into "addr" 3, does it overwrite the key in sector 3, or does it write into sector 4 data field, by this preserving the key address? Overwriting a key field possibly would destroy the default RFID tag format. Hope there is code example available for this topic. Below see a hardcopy of my code:

Might be useful to illustrate the topic, attached you find the RC522 Mifare tag memory layout. -
Using the UIflow code, I wrote data into the RFID addr 1, 2 and 4. Checking the result with Android "NFC Tools", function "Read Hex Memory" I see all the data written into the corresponding sectors in a hex format.
"addr 1" is "sector 0, Block 1"
"addr 2" is "sector 0, Block 2"
"addr 4" is "sector 1, Block 0"
...My guess is that the following write sequence will preserve the formatted key addresses
and make good use of the available Mifare tag memory space, organized in 16 bytes blocks.
The resulting addressing table for writing data is:Data addr: 1,2,4,5,6,8,9,10,12,13,14,16,17,18,20,21,22 .. etc
reserved
UID addr: 0
Key addr: 3,7,11,15,19,23 .. etc

@falbriard An attempt to write a logic with Blockly & MicroPython code (via UIFlow), able to store up to 1000 characters on a RFID tag:
