Terminal for ACR122U

The connection of ACR122U is USB. If you’re connecting it with your Android phone, an OTG adapter is necessary.

Get Presented Tag info

Before running on the command, the tag needs to be put on the reader. To get the UID of the connected PICC.

Load Mifare Key

ACR122U allows loading 2 Mifare Keys(6 Bytes) in 2 locations.

Note: The MIFARE Classic 1K Card, has a total of 16 sectors and each sector consists of 4 consecutive blocks. E.g. Sector 00h consists of Blocks {00h, 01h, 02h and 03h}; Sector 01h consists of Blocks {04h, 05h, 06h and 07h}; the last sector 0F consists of Blocks {3Ch, 3Dh, 3Eh and 3Fh}. Once the authentication is done successfully, there is no need to authenticate again if the blocks to be accessed belong to the same sector. Please refer to the MIFARE Classic 1K/4K specification for more details.

Note: MIFARE Ultralight does not need to do any authentication. The memory is free to access.

Read Mifare Block

Once the sector is successfully authenticated, the commands to read or write the block can be executed with the problem.

1. Read Mifare Classic Block (16 Bytes)

LED State Control

Bi-Color LED and Buzzer Control Format (1 byte)

CMD	Item	Description
Bit 0	Final State : Red LED	1 = On ; 0 = Off
Bit 1	Final State : Green LED	1 = On ; 0 = Off
Bit 2	State Mask : Red LED	1 = Update the State 0 = No change
Bit 3	State Mask : Green LED	1 = Update the State 0 = No change
Bit 4	Initial Blinking State : Red LED	1 = On ; 0 = Off
Bit 5	Initial Blinking State : Green LED	1 = On ; 0 = Off
Bit 6	Blinking Mask : Red LED	1 = Blink 0 = Not Blink
Bit 7	Blinking Mask : Green LED	1 = Blink 0 = Not Blink

Blinking Duration Control

Byte 3 Options

Link to the Buzzer and control the buzzer state during the LED Blinking.

00h: The buzzer will not turn on 
01h: The buzzer will turn on during the T1 Duration 
02h: The buzzer will turn on during the T2 Duration 
03h: The buzzer will turn on during the T1 and T2 Duration.

Buzzer and LED Notes

1. LED Blinking will take effect only if the corresponding LED Blinking Mask is enabled and the 
number of repetitions is greater than zero. 
2. The term Initial Blinking State means that the LED of the chosen color will either be turned 
ON or OFF during the first blink in the duty cycle. For example, if the Initial Blinking State is 
turned ON for the Green LED and OFF for the Red LED, then the blinking will start with Green, 
followed by Red, and so on. 
3. The change in LED State will take effect only if the corresponding LED State Mask is enabled.
4. If controlled at the same time, the LED State operation will be performed after the LED 
The blinking operation has been completed.
5. Under Blinking Duration Control, Both T1 and T2 duration parameters are used for controlling 
the duty cycle of LED blinking and Buzzer Turn-On duration. For example, if T1=1 and T2=1, 
the duty cycle = 50%. #Duty Cycle = T1/(T1 + T2).
6. To control the buzzer only, set the P2 “LED State Control” to 00.
7. To make the buzzer operate, the “number of repetitions” must be greater than zero.
8. To control the LED only, set the parameter “Link to Buzzer” to 00.
