A Linux binary for scanning NFC/RFID tags and submitting their UIDs to the Ginger Tagger API over HTTP.
Following the Twelve-factor principles, nfc-scanner is configured using environment variables:
| Variable | Explanation | Example |
|---|---|---|
API_URL |
URL to your Ginger site running the Tagger API | https://ginger.nl |
CLIENT_ID |
your Tagger API client id | some_id |
CLIENT_SECRET |
your Tagger API client secret | super_secret |
OBJECT_ID |
resource id of the scanned object (panel or activity) | `516 |
Download the binary (replace 0.1.0 with the latest release version):
wget https://github.com/driebit/nfc-scanner/releases/download/0.1.0/nfc-scanner
chmod +x nfc-scannerSet the environment variables:
$ export API_URL="http://..."
$ export CLIENT_ID="..."
$ ...Then start nfc-scanner (don’t forget to plug in the NFC reader):
$ ./nfc-scannerWhen started, nfc-scanner will listen continuously for NFC tags. When a tag is scanned, its UID is sent to the Tagger API. Debug information is written to the syslog.
