<![CDATA[MMM-RFID and MMM-Profileswitcher with RC522]]>Re: Profile Switcher - RC522 RFID

Hi all, I’ve been trying to get my RFID tag to switch profile and I have referred every solution so far I can’t seem to get MMM-RFID to detect my card in MagicMirror. When i run the test given it can read the card and the data but when i run npm start dev, I can’t see anything about notifcation getting sent when i scan my RFID. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Python 3 thrown error whenever used since all those codes don’t use () for print function.

the module uses python

to change u can edit the rfid.js file and change this line

   this.rc522py = this.spawn('python', ['-u', __dirname + '/MFRC522-python/Dump.py']);

to use python3

   this.rc522py = this.spawn('python'3, ['-u', __dirname + '/MFRC522-python/Dump.py']);

I have two tags and I’ve tried both and nothing new shows up in the console

open the developers window, ctrl-shift-i on the MM keyboard and
select the tab labeled console

you should be able to see the events being sent out
“RFID_UID”, payload
and
“RFID_DATA”, payload

and any events in the config events list

SoI dont know why it doesn’t work when running MagicMirror

python MFRC522-python/Dump.py
(from the module folder)

to read the rfid chip on the pi

And this is the config.
