• How can I store NDEF data to an NFC tag using an ACS NFC Reader?

  Different NFC tags have their own Application Note document on how to store NDEF data into the tag. The data (e.g. URL, business card, etc.) needs to be formatted first with the help with the Application Note. When the data is formatted using NDEF, it can then be written on the tag using the ACS NFC Reader.
