Question: NFC tag will not scan.
Hey all
I have a question regarding my newly implanted NTAG216 chip.
My apologies if this is normal behaviour; but after a lot of searching I couldn't find anywhere that mentions the possible cause or solution for my issue.
The issue:
The NTAG216 will not be recognized. I have tried with three different NFC apps with my phone and an RC522 NFC reader for Arduino. Even after long contact, it doesn't even give a hint of detection.
The tag was ordered from Digiwell. The syringe worked perfectly & was operated, according to the instructions, by a professional piercer. At the time of writing, this was 13 hours ago.
I can feel the tag under the skin. There is little to no swelling. Pictures below. The blue spots are the marks used to determine the best spot for the tag.
As you can see, there is pretty much no swelling. I was super excited about having it, now I'm rather disappointed.
Any opinions or advice regarding this issue will be greatly appreciated, since at the moment I cannot see any possible causes but the chip being defect.
Thanks

I have the same RC522 reader for an Arduino but haven't gotten it to write yet. Somehow I was under the impression that it was RFID and not NFC compatible but I could be wrong. The only things I have read with it were the included key fob and card.
It did have to be very close (like almost touching) to read.
Sorry I can't help anymore. I'm sure there are others here with actual implanted tags that might be able to help. Hopefully it isn't a bad chip.
The other thing could be that the tag needs to settle More, if Im correctly the xnt will get closer to the Skin as it heals and All the swelling will be gone which will help with the reading and writing. Just wait a little longer to fully check if the chip is okay
Also agreeing with the swelling situation. There's a good chance you'll need to really rub the phone up close if the antenna is weak, and extra puffyness from swollen, partially healed flesh won't help.
