I²C device

PN532 NFC

The PN532 NFC is an I²C device in the LabWired part catalog. Its catalog type is pn532. It connects to the MCU over I²C at the default address 0x24. The catalog gives a supply range of 2.7–5.5 V. It has 6 pins. A registered peripheral model runs in the engine: the firmware talks to it over the real bus and gets device-accurate responses.

From the catalog: I²C PN532 init/probe shell; NFC air interface not modelled.

How to simulate the PN532 NFC in LabWired

Open the Playground at app.labwired.com and place an MCU board.
Add the PN532 NFC (catalog type pn532).
Connect VCC and GND to the supply and ground of the board. Use a supply inside the catalog range of 2.7–5.5 V.
Connect SDA and SCL to the I²C data and clock pins of the board.
Connect RST to a free GPIO pin.
Connect IRQ as your circuit needs.
Run the firmware. It finds the part on the I²C bus at 0x24 and reads and writes it as on hardware.
