Convert a MFRC522 arduino chip to an USB device

I'm tying to convert a MFRC522 arduino chip to an USB device so as to use it natively on windows (with a cli or software) and without an Arduino. I don't know if I was clear (sorry for my bad english). Can anyone help me to do this.

Solution

  • No, you can't do that because you need some mediation between the RFID reader and the PC USB port.

    You don't have to use Arduino, but you do need a processor to "translate" the information from the reader and some hardware to speak to USB.
