Reverting the SPI-Py to 8cce26b resolved my issue as suggested in the following link.

Make sure to change directory to the cloned project directory before running the last line in the link above.

Hello @scimad and @lyocyhs, I've got the same problem. With some modifications on this library, I was able to run Read.py correctly.

My changes are shared in this pull request.

@lucassarcanjo Thanks a lot for your coordintation in making this post worth usable and improving the flaws in the syntax. I have followed the new directories which you have mentioned in the above comments. I am getting the below error right now. I would be glad if you could assist me,

Hello @priyesh1112 , I think I got what can be the reason of your issue.
In @lucassarcanjo 's code, MFRC522.py, line 310, a variable called "backData" was misspelled as "ackdata", I send him a review for correcting his code, until it happens, you can change the line

      print("Size: ".format(ackData[0]))

to

      print("Size: ".format(backData[0]))

It should work.

@victormagalhaess thanks a lot for your feedback. It worked fine. Now I am facing some other issues which I am trying to rectify :)

Hello @priyesh1112 , can you send me your code? I'll have an raspberry available tomorrow, so if you send me I can test and try to solve your issue with a practical approach (this way I can test if any other issues spots).

[priyesh1112]

Thanks @victormagalhaess that is really kind of you. I am trying to solve it but if it does not happen, I will copy the code and send it to you so that you may verify. I have also consulted @lucassarcanjo but he has not responded yet. I will let you know. Thanks and Regards

[priyesh1112]

@victormagalhaess could you share your email id so that I can send you my code? Though it is exactly the same as Lucas has posted. But, I am facing different error.
