&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;At the very least something that reads the card and controls a GPIO pin would be the minimum example in python.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;So you mean a software that triggers something based on some control commands stored on the card? Ideally in Python?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Would you say, example code in C is a no go, or let&amp;#39;s say a bad choice in the Raspberry Pi community?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What would be in your opinion the optimal package (software and addition) to get started with the EXPLORE-NFC?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Michael&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=19985&amp;AppID=92&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: NFC or RFID Reader</title><link>https://community.element14.com/products/devtools/explorenfc/b/blog/posts/nfc-or-rfid-reader</link><pubDate>Fri, 06 Mar 2015 08:50:37 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:ff635d6d-4157-42f3-9ffc-c70f4d062246</guid><dc:creator>Former Member</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;nice write up......&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=19985&amp;AppID=92&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: NFC or RFID Reader</title><link>https://community.element14.com/products/devtools/explorenfc/b/blog/posts/nfc-or-rfid-reader</link><pubDate>Thu, 05 Mar 2015 21:03:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:ff635d6d-4157-42f3-9ffc-c70f4d062246</guid><dc:creator>clem57</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;Mark( &lt;span&gt;[mention:8fb233e8974445138ef0af2b63b49f94:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05]&lt;/span&gt; ),&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Is this how the NXP roadtest works?
