can't get it working with spi

hey so im traying youre code out and i can't get it working with this board

I cannot guarantee if the code will work with other PN532 based boards. It should though, but again, I'm not sure.You can double check this by following this guide: http://blog.iteadstudio.com/to-drive-itead-pn532-nfc-module-with-raspberry-pi/If you can't make it work with these instructions, then either the connections are bad, or it's not compatible. You can also check it first agains an arduino, and use the library here: https://github.com/elechouse/PN532.

or you can use the I2C interface. I have a working code here: hsilomedus/door-nfx

hey ya i ended giving up on the spi part and trayed i2c with i goth working but i'm having truble reading the uid as a propper value

and any idear how i can write to the card ?

Although this is a quite old thread it might be interesting for users, having problems with SPI on boards mentioned above. My board looks similar, also from ebay. It might be an elechouse board or a clone of that. I found that on the board the 5 resistors within the SPI lines had a value of 100kOhm, and not 100 Ohm as mentioned in the manual and the schematics. Of course, with those values SPI could not work. In addition, the mode switch was what soldered correctly (no connection to Vcc in case of I2C). This might be an single problem with my board, but in case of problems it might be helpful to check this.
