GIF of result: https://giphy.com/gifs/63LRFYyWd2RziTY8oN The breakout board is now properly communicating with the Particle Photon. The device can now read information from NFC tags (such as their UID and info from their EEPROM). Next step: get the breakout board to emit a signal that does not make the iPhone think it's talking to an Apple Pay terminal. Note: the iPhone is actually showing up as an NFC tag, but does not behave as expected.
