The transponder reads and writes MIFARE and ISO 15693 tags. The corresponding commands and parameters
are valid depending on the tag being used. When a tag comes within range of the antenna, the PiccSelect message
and serial number of the tag are output. When the tag is removed, the PiccRemove message and serial number
of the tag are output.
