The NFC Module for Arduino is designed to extend this powerful feature for your project or application based on Arduino. It integrates a PN532 NFC controller from Philips. The driver interface for this product is UART interface of the microcontroller. So it's possible for you to test it via a USB to UART converter directly. On the other hand, for the applications with microcontroller, the module provides an event for your processor when detects the NFC tags, stickers, key fobs, or cards via high speed serial UART.
Applications Include:
Contactless payment systems
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections
Social networking situations, such as sharing contacts, photos, videos or files
Electronic identity documents and keycards
Smartphone automation and NFC tags
