Hello, this is the repo for the ChameleonMini, for the ChameleonTiny you should ask here
My take on your issue is that the antenna is too small and the reader donβt like it. But I am just guessing
from chameleonmini.
Hey, I actually posted there first, but was unsure.
But thanks for your quick response :-)
If it would be indeed the antenna, how would you approach to fix it, attach some wire?
I had tried moving the ChameleonTiny to different positions and distances, but it did not help.
Thank you for your time!

The problem with the ChameleonTiny is indeed that you can't (AFAIK) attach an external antenna. You can do that on the ChameleonMini, quite easily so with an SMA connector actually, but the other device is more end-user oriented rather than research so IIRC some feature such as the SMA have been dropped in favor of smaller size and sleek looks. I guess you can always solder some wires on the board...
If you were able to, you could indeed try to use an antenna with a different shape/size. There are some tools online (maybe even in the pm3 repo) to calculate NFC antennas geometries, as well as vendor specific tools: search ST and TI websites.
If I had to guess, I'd say the reader you're dealing with is a bit "deaf" (read: bad antenna design) and doesn't detect the small load induced in its field by the tiny antenna in the ChameleonTiny

Thanks a lot, I'll look into that and see whats possible for me. What puzzles me though is that apparently even when placed between the old reader and a card while they are communicating, no signal is detected by the ChameleonTiny. Might that still be explainable by the antenna issue ?
from chameleonmini.
It is indeed weird, but IIRC the field detector in the ChameleonTiny is essentially just an led connected to the antenna. If indeed the cham/reader antenna coupling is bad, that would explain both because:
- There will not be enough energy on the Chameleon's side to power up the led
- It will not be detected by the reader because there is no load
If you think about it, it's like moving a random piece of metal within the reader field
from chameleonmini.
Oh okay that sounds quite plausible. Guess I will have to putter around a little then, hope I don't ruin it.
Thanks again for your quick response.
