+# PN5180 Tagomatic
+A USB connected RFID Reader/Writer with a python interface.
+
+---
+
+A PN5180 card is connected to a Raspberry Pi Pico Zero via SPI.
+The Pico Zero runs an arduino firmware which exposes a SimpleRPC
+interface which this python module uses via USB to communicate
+with RFID tags.
+
+## Features
+
+- Python library for easy integration.
+- Uses USB serial communication to the reader.
+- Cross-platform support (Linux, Windows, macOS).
+- Finds and selects ISO/IEC 14443A and ISO/IEC 15693 cards.
+- Can read/write the cards' memories.
+- Can authenticate against Mifare classic cards to read their memories.
+- Supports multiple cards within the field.
+
+## API Documentation
+
+See [API Reference](reference.md).
+
+## Installation
+
+### Python Package
+
+Install from PyPI:
+
+```bash
+pip install pn5180-tagomatic
+```
+
+### Building the hardware
+
+See
+[here](https://github.com/bofh69/pn5180-tagomatic/tree/main/sketch/README.md)
+for instructions on the hardware and the firmware.
+
+## Usage
+
+```python
+from pn5180_tagomatic import PN5180, RxProtocol, TxProtocol
+
+# Create reader instance and use it
+with PN5180("/dev/ttyACM0") as reader:
+    versions = reader.ll.read_eeprom(0x10, 6)
+    with reader.start_session(
+        TxProtocol.ISO_14443_A_106, RxProtocol.ISO_14443_A_106
+    ) as session:
+        card = session.connect_one_iso14443a()
+        print(f"Reading from card {card.id}")
+        memory = card.read_memory()
+```
