The pin map of the Raspberry Pi would've been a nice still image to put in this video to show what gets connected to what.

[simonhead]

Awesome!! Hey is there a way to use this to enter the RFID code into a google doc?

[sumayyazaynab]

[rikardjohansson]

Hello! I get this error when i try to run the Read.py file: File "/home/pi/MFRC522-python/MFRC522.py", line 141, in Write_MFRC522 spi.transfer(((addr<<1)&0x7E, val)) TypeError: function takes exactly 2 arguments (1 given). Please help me, I do not know what to do.

[TeddyMonacelli]

I appreciate the written instructions, but the video and the work in the terminal is impossible to follow (bc as others have noted, how small the terminal/text is). I got lost towards the Read.py part of the instructions and struggled to see what was happening in the video here. Thanks
