NFC Technology Desk Help

[Creed1]

Hello.

 

I would like to build a nfc scanner desk, so I can transfer files wirelessly to my pc when I set my phone on the nfc module. What can I buy to do this?

One of these https://www.adafruit.com/products/923 or one of these https://www.adafruit.com/products/789 would probably be required.

NFC is extremely slow and does very little data transferring.

 

On phones, the NFC transfer is just enough data to tell the two phones to open a bluetooth connection and send/receive the file. You'd be just as fast and doing the same thing just sending it to your computer by bluetooth.

 

If you really want to do it by NFC I am not aware of any one thing you can buy, it will take a scanner, microcrontroller, bluetooth dongle, and you'll have to write a program to take care of everything in the background on your computer.

You are better off with BT or WLAN. NFC tops out at about 1 Mbit/s what is way to low for decent file transfer.
