Huzzah32 - RFID base module

A basic circuit to play with RFID and the Huzzah32.
It can be used as base for other projects.
The idea is just to have a Huzzah32 connected to a MF RC522 board and a small display, reading an RFID card/tag and showing it on the display.
The RC522 reader uses tags at 13.56 Mhz.
