Grove - NFC

Near Field Communication (NFC) is a set of short-range wireless technologies. It's behind daily applications such as access control systems and mobile payment systems. 

Grove NFC features a highly integrated transceiver module PN532 which handles contactless communication at 13.56MHz. You can read and write a 13.56MHz tag with this module or implement point to point data exchange with two NFCs. Grove NFC is designed to use I2C or UART communication protocols, and UART is the default mode. In addition, an independent PCB antenna is included which can easily stretch out of any enclosure you use, leaving more room for you to design the exterior of your project.
