High Performance Custom NFC Reader based on Teensy 4

[ctadlock]

My company GoToTags, makes NFC encoding robotics and software. We got to the point with off the shelf NFC readers that they couldnt meet our performance goals, so we decided to make our own. We worked directly with STMicro engineers on the board and antenna design and tuning; months of effort. As far as I know this will be the only commercial firmware programable NFC reader on the market. 6 layer, via-in-pad board, double-sided assembly, RGB LED. Includes a GPIO header for an external electrical "API" for NFC reader control.

Ordering the first engineering test batch tomorow. Will update this thread once we get the boards and test them out.

Here is the Reel-Reel RFID Encoder (with old NFC reader); we hope to see a significant speed increase.

Here is the X-ray of one of the boards. NXP chip in the middle, boot loader at the bottom, ST NFC chip on the right, flash top-left.

The boards work great!

Damn!

This is exactly what I need as well. need to break out the USB to something that can survive vibration environments. Is it a lockable teensy?

BTW I like your machine, I assume it's producing fireballs for super mario

I believe all custom Teensys are lockable-capable.

Yes we will be creating lockable Teensy for this.
