I am working on an RFID project using the MFRC522 and Ethernet libraries. My code is encountering a compilation error, and I am not sure how to resolve it. Here is the specific error message:
Compilation error: ‘TagInfo’ was not declared in this scope
Below is the relevant part of my code:
`#include <SPI.h>
#include <MFRC522.h>
#include <Ethernet.h>
#include "MFRC522Extended.h" // Include the extended library header
#define RST_PIN 9 // Reset pin for MFRC522
#define SS_PIN 10 // Slave Select pin for MFRC522
MFRC522 mfrc522(SS_PIN, RST_PIN); // Create MFRC522 instance
//Ethernet settings
byte mac[] = { 0x60, 0x3e, 0x5f, 0x86, 0xd8, 0xc9 }; // MAC address of Ethernet shield
IPAddress server(127, 0, 0, 1); // IP address of your server (localhost)
int port = 3001; // Port number of your server
// Initialize the Ethernet client
EthernetClient client;
// Create an instance of MFRC522Extended
MFRC522Extended mfrc522Extended;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600); // Initialize serial communications
SPI.begin(); // Init SPI bus
mfrc522.PCD_Init(); // Init MFRC522 module
// Initialize Ethernet with DHCP
if (Ethernet.begin(mac) == 0) {
Serial.println("Failed to configure Ethernet using DHCP");
// Try with a static IP if DHCP fails:
Ethernet.begin(mac, IPAddress(192, 168, 1, 177));
} else {
Serial.print("Ethernet configured via DHCP, IP address: ");
Serial.println(Ethernet.localIP());
}
Serial.println("RFID Ready");
}
void loop() {
// Look for new RFID cards
if (mfrc522.PICC_IsNewCardPresent() && mfrc522.PICC_ReadCardSerial()) {
// Show UID on serial monitor
Serial.print("UID tag: ");
String content = "";
for (byte i = 0; i < mfrc522.uid.size; i++) {
Serial.print(mfrc522.uid.uidByte[i] < 0x10 ? " 0" : " ");
Serial.print(mfrc522.uid.uidByte[i], HEX);
content.concat(String(mfrc522.uid.uidByte[i] < 0x10 ? " 0" : " "));
content.concat(String(mfrc522.uid.uidByte[i], HEX));
}
content.toUpperCase();
Serial.println();
// Perform extended functionality
TagInfo tagInfo; // Declaration of TagInfo
byte sendData[10]; // Example data
byte backData[10]; // Example data
byte sendLen = 10;
byte backLen = 10;
MFRC522::StatusCode status = mfrc522Extended.TCL_Transceive(&tagInfo, sendData, sendLen, backData, &backLen);
if (status == MFRC522::StatusCode::SUCCESS) {
// Process successful operation
Serial.println("Extended operation successful");
} else {
// Handle error
Serial.println("Error in extended operation");
}
// Send UID to the server via Ethernet
if (client.connect(server, port)) {
client.println("UID: " + content);
// Optionally, send extended data as well
// client.println("Extended Data: " + String(backData[0])); // Example
client.stop();
}
delay(1000); // Delay for readability
}
}`
Could someone please help me understand what might be causing this error and how I can fix it?
This is code which I have tried for RFID where we used Arduino Uno R3 board, Ethernet shield W5100 and RFID reader MFRC522.Here I’m facing an issue with the connectivity, the expected output for the NodeJS server was to read the UID of the RFID card or tag but I’m getting an error of the tag info which I’m unable to solve, could you please assist me to solve the error.
Thank you
