		uint8_t *	p_uid ,
		uint8_t *	p_uid_len ,
		uint16_t	timeout
	)

Function for detecting an ISO14443A target presence in the RF field.

This function enables the RF field and scans for ISO14443A targets present in the field. The number of scan retries is set by the adafruit_pn532_set_passive_activation_retries function. By default, the maximum number of retries is set to unlimited, which means that the PN532 Shield scans for targets until it finds one or the scan is canceled. The timeout parameter specifies the time-out of the scan. If it is set to a value greater than 0, the function exits with a failure if either the maximum number of retries or the time-out has been reached. If the timeout parameter is set to 0, a single scan is performed. When the ISO14443A target is detected, the PN532 module initializes communication and reads the target's UID.

Parameters

[in]	card_baudrate	Baud rate of the card.
[out]	p_uid	Pointer to the array that will be populated with the card's UID (up to 7 bytes).
[in,out]	p_uid_len	Pointer to the variable that stores the length of the p_uid buffer (as input) and the length of the target's UID that was read (as output).
[in]	timeout	Time-out (in ms). 0 means that only a single scan is performed. If no tag is presented before the time-out, the function returns NRF_ERROR_INTERNAL.

Return values

NRF_SUCCESS If the function completed successfully. Otherwise, an error code is returned.

ret_code_t adafruit_pn532_sam_config ( uint8_t mode )

Function for configuring the Secure Access Module (SAM).

This function configures the SAM to work in a mode specified in the mode parameter. For a reader operation, use SAMCONFIGURATION_MODE_NORMAL.

Parameters

[in] mode Mode in which the PN532 Shield should work.

Return values

NRF_SUCCESS If the SAM was configured successfully. Otherwise, an error code is returned.

ret_code_t adafruit_pn532_send_cmd	(	uint8_t *	p_cmd ,
		uint8_t	cmd_len ,
