2 Hardware
The PCB (Printed Circuit Board) is connected via USB to the PC. The STSW-ST25R001 PC
software controls the STM32 MCU located on the PCB. The STM32 MCU then operates the
ST25R3911B via SPI.
The ST25R3911B is connected directly to the 5 V supply of the USB bus. An LDO converts
this voltage down to 3.3 V, to supply the microcontroller.
A green LED close to the USB plug indicates if the board is powered. Six blue LEDs indicate
the mode of operation (transmit / receive) and which technologies are in use.
The antenna runs along the PCB perimeter.
