Application note
Developing an application allowing PR101-USB and MR101-USB
FEIG readers to communicate with M24LRXX transponders
Introduction
This application note explains how to develop a Visual Basic or C/C++ application code to
drive ISO 15693 FEIG readers from a host computer. FEIG readers are contactless readers
which can communicate with transponders based on the STMicroelectronics M24LRXX
Dual interface EEPROM.
The readers are delivered within ST demonstration kit DEMOKIT-M24LR-A and
development kit DEVKIT-M24LR-A:
● PR101-USB FEIG reader is delivered within the DEMOKIT-M24LR-A (see Figure 1)
● MR101-USB FEIG reader is delivered within the DEVKIT-M24LR-A (see Figure 1).
This application note helps software engineers using and including the software delivered
within the DEMOKIT-M24LR-A and the DEVKIT-M24LR-A in their own application. Code
examples are also provided to illustrate how to send Visual Basic and C/C++ RF
commands.
