Frequently Asked Questions

What is the I2C address of the M5Stack RFID 2 Unit?

The default I2C address for the RFID 2 Unit is 0x28 (hexadecimal). This address is fixed and used for all communication with the host microcontroller, such as an ESP32, Arduino, or M5Stack Core, over the I2C bus.

What types of RFID cards and tags does this module support?

This module supports cards and tags compliant with the ISO/IEC 14443 Type A and Type B standards. This includes popular families like MIFARE Classic, MIFARE Ultralight, and NTAG series, making it compatible with a wide range of common 13.56MHz RFID tokens.

What is the maximum communication speed with the I2C interface?

The I2C interface supports standard Fast Mode at up to 400 kbit/s and a High-Speed Mode capable of reaching up to 3400 kbit/s (3.4 Mbit/s). The higher speed mode allows for faster data transfer when reading or writing larger blocks of data to RFID tags.

Can this module be used outdoors or in harsh environments?

With an operating temperature range of -20°C to 85°C, the module is suitable for use in controlled industrial settings and some outdoor applications. However, it is not inherently waterproof; for exposed environments, a protective enclosure is recommended.
