I am duing: init MFRC522 --> MRFC522 Antenna ON --> MRFC522 Check for card

it always returns a value of 255 from Check Card

Hi Alan,

I started investigating the component, the source project I was using as an example for the code has changed a lot since I last looked and it wasn't the best to read back then. It's pretty horrendous now.

The component as is is known to work so I wonder what might be going wrong. What type of RFID tags are you using and can you attach your program so we can try and replicate your setup.
