MFRC522, setAntennaGain(..) has no effect
See original GitHub issueI’m trying to increase the reading-range of my MFRC522. By using MFRC522.getPiccType(sak); i determined my picc is a MIFARE_1K. The data sheet (https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/2/302/MF1S503x-89574.pdf) says:
Operating distance up to 100 mm depending on antenna geometry and reader configuration
So i assume the antenna gain setting is available in general. But using mfrc522.setAntennaGain(..) seems to do nothing, the reading-range remains at ~20mm, no matter what AntennaGain-enum is passed. And mfrc522.getAntennaGain() returns always null.
Do you have a hint? Thank you.

Sorry for the late response. I had no time to investigate further. In my experiments it did not make any difference in range, but when i used
mfrc522.setAntennaGain(AntennaGain.DB_48)i frequently received read errors when placing the transponder. I don’t remember exactly the error-output. It was something likeread error on 0x01. I will comment my insights here in the future.Excellent, thank you. Did it make a difference in range?
