Flex NFC tag not reading
About a month ago, i installed a flexible tag from cyberise.me. for the past week or so, there has been some difficulty getting it to read but i figured that i just had to figure out the read spot since i had just gotten a new phone. today, i can't get it to read at all. i wired up my pn532 module to my arduino and got a sample sketch running and sure enough, same result as the phone: i can read keychain/card/sticker tags but not my hand

Does the area around the implant have any visible changes since it worked? My guess is the tag either receded into your hand too far (have you tried reading from the other side of your hand?) or it got damaged, either during implanting (and just now got worn down inside your body enough to stop working (in the case that it had been working and now isn't)) or (if your hand shows visible changes) damaged indirectly, through your skin.
I assume you've thought about it some, so a lot of that may be things you've already thought of. But it would help to diagnose it. I will say that (of course) its best to fix it if possible, rather than remove it and later implant another.
Good luck with the replacement process.
I've been in contact with @alexsmith from cyberise and he has offered either a full refund or replacement. I'll be taking the latter.
Extraction process should be :
1. Standard preop stuff
2. Reopen incision
3. Squeeze it out
Or am I missing something?
