Initial Release of NFC Reader

This release includes the initial version of the NFC Reader application.

Features:

  • Reads NFC badges using the ACR122U reader.
  • Writes the badge IDs to where your cursor is, followed by a newline.
  • Prevents the same badge from being scanned twice in a row.

Prerequisites:

  1. NFC Reader: ACR122U
  2. Drivers: Install the drivers for the ACR122U reader from the official ACS website:

Notes:

  • Ensure that the cursor is placed in a text input area before scanning badges.
