Use SPI1 about mfrc522-rpi

[firsttris]

hey sir,

i think your issue is that i initialize wiringPI with channel 0 but you need channel 1
https://github.com/firsttris/mfrc522-rpi/blob/master/index.js#L7

wiringPiSPISetup (int channel, int speed) ;. This is the way to initialise a channel (The Pi has 2 channels; 0 and 1).

regards

i will add the possibility to choose the spi channel

[firsttris]

please update to 1.1.0 where you have the ability to choose the spi channel.
see example:
https://github.com/firsttris/mfrc522-rpi/blob/master/test/read.js#L4

was not able to test it since im on leave currently.

best regards
tristan

In fact, it was the first change I made in the index, however I did not detect the device, I added a capture

note that MFRC522-PYTHON Works fine

[firsttris]

just to be sure...
have you activated SPI in Raspbian properly ?
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/spi/README.md

[liko28s]

yes, in /boot/config.txt

dtparam=spi=on
dtoverlay=spi1-1cs
dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt

bt is disable for security

[firsttris]

shouldn't dmesg detect the module appart from which implementation you are using?

i will do some tests when im back home.

how do i psyically connect my module to use SPI 1 ?

regards
Tristan

using soft-pi now instead of wiring-pi, please check and re-open if error still persists
