I am using a Adafruit PN532 Shield to read/write NFC tags, I was wondering if anyone could suggest how to go about getting the data from the scanned card into Max for some processing goodness?

Any input and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Did you ever get this up and running? I'm in a similar situation.

I'm using RFID tags / Adafruit shields (+Arduino) with Max. Adafruit is providing ready-made software library for Arduino and its really simple to integrate it with your patches.

I modified a little bit examples distributed by the Adafruit to fit my needs and I'm using [serial] on the Max side.

On my blog are instructions for using the super cheap MFRC522 complete with Arduino code and Max patch:

.. but I have also used the Innovations ID range of RFID readers before, heres a nice tutorial with Max patch: https://hcgilje.wordpress.com/resources/rfid_id12_tagreader/

I currently have a NFC reader/writer (PN532), but perhaps I can apply some of the same principles in your Max patches to this particular model.
