# MTG RFID Companion
|
||
|
||
A hand-held **Magic: The Gathering** companion built on an **ESP32-WROOM-32**. Tap an RFID/NFC-tagged card to a built-in reader and the device:
|
||
|
||
- renders the card's cover art and metadata on a **2.0" ST7789 TFT (240x320)**,
|
||
- flashes a **WS2812B Neopixel** in the card's mana color and plays a short **buzzer** chirp,
|
||
- keeps a **life counter** (20/40) you adjust with a rotary encoder,
|
||
- caches cards locally on **LittleFS** and refetches from the **Scryfall API** over Wi-Fi,
|
||
- runs a **SoftAP registration server** (`MTG-Companion`) so you can pair an unknown tag to a card name from your phone.
|
||
|
||
All code is **pure ESP-IDF v5.x (C) / FreeRTOS** — no Arduino.

## Wiring Guide
|
||
|
||
> **Do not change these GPIO assignments in code** unless you update both
|
||
> `main/hw_pins.h` and this table. The ST7789 and MFRC522 **share one SPI bus** (SPI2_HOST).

```
|
||
|
||
- Keep SPI signal runs short (< 10 cm) for reliable 20 MHz display transfers.
|
||
- NTAG213/215 FPC stickers need to sit flat and close to the MFRC522 antenna.
|
||
- The **WS2812B** draws up to ~60 mA; power it from the 5V rail, never from a GPIO.

||
## Getting Started
|
||
|
||
### 1. Toolchain
|
||
|
||
Install ESP-IDF **v5.5** (any 5.x works): https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32/get-started/
|
||
|
||
Verify:
|
||
|
||
```powershell
|
||
# Windows (Espressif "ESP-IDF 5.5 PowerShell" terminal)
|
||
. C:\Espressif\Initialize-Idf.ps1 # or: . $IDF_PATH\export.ps1
|
||
idf.py --version
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### 2. Build
|
||
|
||
```powershell
|
||
idf.py set-target esp32
|
||
idf.py build
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The custom partition table (`partitions.csv`) reserves:
|
||
|
||
| Offset | Size | Subtype | Purpose |
|
||
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
|
||
| 0x10000 | 2 MB | app/factory | firmware |
|
||
| 0x210000 | ~1.9 MB | data/littlefs | `/spiffs` cache (seeded from `storage/`) |
|
||
|
||
### 3. Configure Wi-Fi
|
||
|
||
Two equivalent ways:
|
||
|
||
```powershell
|
||
# a) interactive menu (recommended)
|
||
idf.py menuconfig # -> "MTG RFID Companion" -> SSID + password
|
||
|
||
# b) edit the preset file directly
|
||
# sdkconfig.defaults.esp32
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Leaving the SSID empty (or keeping the `YOUR_...` placeholders) disables station
|
||
mode — the SoftAP pairing server still runs, so you can use the device
|
||
without a home network.
|
||
|
||
### 4. Flash & watch
|
||
|
||
```powershell
|
||
idf.py -p COMx flash monitor # COMx = your serial port
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Expected boot log if everything is wired right:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
I storage: LittleFS mounted at /spiffs: <size> bytes total ...
|
||
I storage: boot_count read back = 1 (persistence across reboots OK)
|
||
I rfid: RC522 polling task pinned to Core 0
|
||
I display: ST7789 240x320 ready ...
|
||
I web: SoftAP 'MTG-Companion' at 192.168.4.1, web server ready
|
||
I ui: UI task on core 1
|
||
```
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Usage
|
||
|
||
### Scan a card
|
||
Place a tagged card on the reader:
|
||
1. **Mapped UID** → chirp, mana-colored LED flash, then the card view (cover art + name/type/P·T/price/mana).
|
||
2. **Unknown UID** → registration screen with the pairing address.
|
||
|
||
### Life counter
|
||
Press the encoder button to toggle **SCANNER ↔ LIFE_COUNTER**. Rotate to adjust
|
||
(20/40 preset or whatever you last set; press again to reset to the preset).
|
||
|
||
### Web pairing (registration mode)
|
||
1. Connect your phone to the `MTG-Companion` access point.
|
||
2. Open `http://192.168.4.1`.
|
||
3. Scan an unmapped card — the UID appears in the page.
|
||
4. Type / pick a Scryfall-autocomplete name → **Pair UID with card**.
|
||
5. The mapping persists to `/spiffs/mappings.json` and the card is fetched & cached.
|
||

||
## Storage Layout (`/spiffs`)
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
/spiffs/
|
||
├── mappings.json UID -> Card Name map
|
||
├── cards/
|
||
│ ├── sample.json example metadata
|
||
│ ├── sample.jpg example cover art (baked into flash image)
|
||
│ ├── <UID>.json Scryfall metadata cache
|
||
│ └── <UID>.jpg cached cover art
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The `storage/` folder is compiled into the LittleFS partition image at build
|
||
time (`littlefs_create_partition_image`), so a fresh flash already contains
|
||
`mappings.json` and the example art.
|

||
## Troubleshooting
|
||
|
||
| Symptom | Fix |
|
||
| :--- | :--- |
|
||
| Display = black / garbage | Check CS/DC/RST wiring; try toggling `esp_lcd_panel_invert_color` and `LCD_RGB_ELEMENT_ORDER_*` in `display_manager.c` |
|
||
| Colors inverted | Same toggle as above — panel clones differ |
|
||
| No UID printed on scan | Verify MFRC522 wiring, tag type (ISO14443A), antenna positioning; confirm `rfid: RC522 polling task pinned to Core 0` in the log |
|
||
| Wi-Fi never connects | Re-run `idf.py menuconfig`, confirm you replaced the `YOUR_...` placeholders |
|
||
| Can't reach 192.168.4.1 | Ensure your phone joined `MTG-Companion`, not a cached network |
|
||
| Card renders but no art | Card not cached yet — check `scryfall` log lines; art downloads are best-effort |
|
||
| App grows near 2MB | mbedTLS + HTTP pulls are large; if needed, enable `CONFIG_MBEDTLS_CERTIFICATE_BUNDLE` (smaller) |
