Best USB NFC reader for Raspberry Pi
Hi,
what's the best USB NFC reader for using on a Raspberry Pi?
I have an ACR122U and it's really hellish, sometimes interface can't be opened
[nfc.dev.acr122] failed to retrieve ACR122U version string
[nfc.clf] no reader found at 'usb'
[main] no contactless reader found
and sometimes gives a timeout.
[nfc.clf] searching for reader with path 'usb'
[nfc.clf] using ACS ACR122U PICC Interface at usb:001:007
[nfc.snep.server] snep server bound to port 4 (MIU=1984, RW=15), will accept up to 1048576 byte NDEF messages
[nfc.snep.server] snep server bound to port 16 (MIU=1984, RW=15), will accept up to 10000 byte NDEF messages
[nfc.dev.acr122] listen mode is disabled for this device
[nfc.dev.acr122] listen mode is disabled for this device
[nfc.dev.pn53x] [Errno 110] Operation timed out
[nfc.clf] [Errno 110] Operation timed out
I'm using pyusb 1.0.0a3 and libusb1.0.0 and a USB powered hub.
I need a good reader for using with p2p/llcp purposes.
Cheers!

ACR122 is in general not the best choice but on RasPi you may additionally be hit by apparent instability/

Thanks, Stephen.
I'll check Adafruit PN532 reader board with desired P2P/llcp feature to develop a small app.
Thank you very much for your work, your code and your answers :-)

Is there any evidence for EXPLORE-NFC NXP PN512 http://
There is evidence that it will *not* yet work. PN512 is a lot more basic and has a completely different command set. It's actually on my wishlist (and already on my desk) but that won't help you right now.
