That's just the chip, not the board.

Author here for if you have questions on this chip...

This is cool, where can I buy the chips and read their datasheets?

The C.H.I.P has this. I am waiting for the two I ordered to ship (3 months late).

Anybody know the part number of said chip?

kosma Jun 11, 2020 View on HN

This works on a surprisingly large number of chips.

It says there's a microcontroller as well.

i own the original chip. i don't understand what this thing is about, a higher-spec chip?

miahi Jun 12, 2013 View on HN

The chip is taken from the specs, you cannot see it in the photos.

Should have an SMT RFID chip on board surely!
