Going around antique mall I bough few bases.
I'm collecting here some information, would be nice to be able to use the NFC reader for other purposes.
The Infinity base from Disney is basically a multiple NFC reader (3) with a standard USB interface and it comes for different systems.
The one I did open and analyzed so far is for the Xbox 360.
The label on the back should specify that the base is for Xbox, if no indication should be for Nintendo. Not sure if there are other versions out there.
Opening the base is easy if you know where to pray, the two plastic shelves are anchored mainly in three places close to the USB cable.
Forcing that to open it easily breaks the plastic hooks.
The rest of the base uses the NFC place holder as hook and again, is easy to break the holder hooks.
So, after the first base opened forcibly, the correct way to open a Infinity Disney base is :
- first remove the three covers of the sensors, two round and one exagonal
- each have three hooks, so with a thin but strong blade, identify the hooks and try to force them open, one by one.
Once done that, the cover should come out.
When the three covers are out, will be enough to gently lift the base toward the cable area.
Once open, there are three NFC antennas, with a central LED, and the circuit to interface the USB.
The base opened. The three white antennas are visible |
Hardware - Xbox 360 version
Each antenna has a multi-color (RGB) LED on the center.The board is based on a STM32F102 processor

Connecting a base to a Linux system returns some information related to an ID : 24c6:fa00 and no description appears on a plain lsusb command.

Testing
After installed the library to handle the NFC on my machine (sudo apt install libnfc-bin) running the nfc-list command did report any base attached, so I guess the Xbox 360 base is not compatible with this library.
$ nfc-list
nfc-list uses libnfc 1.7.1
No NFC device found.
