This is a simple and cost effective NFC reader that reads the identification (UID) of a tag and outputs the data as a keyboard entry.
The reader connects to a PC via USB and it represents itself as a standard USB HID Keyboard. Whenever a tag is detected near the reader, it reads the UID and type a 4 or 7 byte hexadecimal representation of the UID to the text input. Therefore, this reader can be used to enter UIDs in software such as web browser, word processor, spreadsheet, database or any other software as long as it can accept text input. No specific driver or software required. Just plug and play!
It is a solution for adding NFC tag identification, without heavy modification to your existing software. In can be used in areas such as inventory control, event registration, time attendance, access control and many more.
This reader is supported in Windows OS, Linux and Android mobile devices (using USB OTG cable).

Reader output format
The output is in the form of 4-byte (8 digits) hexadecimal OR 7-byte (14 digits) hexadecimal. This reader is able to detect the correct UID format and outputs accordingly. Please make sure that this is the format that you need.
All alphabets output are in small capital letters and a carriage return (enter) is added at the end of the output.
Examples for 4-byte and 7-byte hexadecimal output:
