Despite this, Arduino is just one among many of its kind in a market that is booming after new demand; so the Bluetooth and NFC of the Primo could give Arduino an edge over its everyday competition.

I am guessing that you have an Arduino Uno board handy. Even though most of the available libraries (for PN532) are focused primarily on Arduino Mega, I still prefer the Uno, as it’s more comfortable ...

In addition to being able to connect to Bluetooth low energy sensors, the Arduino Primo acts as a TCP / IP Internet client and server over Wi-Fi; uses the nRF52832 SoC's integrated Near Field ...

When [gdarchen] wanted to read some NFC tags, he went through several iterations. First, he tried an Electron application, and then a client-server architecture. But his final iteration was to make… ...

Near field communication aka NFC is a technology that will allow you to exchange data between devices. If you don't have the 'Pure Google' phone, Nexus S (4G) ...

Primo will include Bluetooth LE (low energy), NFC, Wi-Fi, and infrared built-in — you typically need a “shield” add-on to get these features.

Well tech tinkerer Joe Desbonnet has whipped up what he dubs "poor man's NFC" using an Arduino, some magnet wire, and any compass-equipped Android smartphone (which is almost all of them).

Joe Desbonnet combined an Arduino microcontroller with a magnetic coil to create what he calls the “Poor Man’s NFC”.

Here's an instance of NFC technology that's more exciting than yet another tap-to-pay scenario. Google employee Paul Carff combined a Motorola Xoom running ICS with an Arduino microcontroller to ...
