Raspberry pi pico rfid rc522 (Micropython) - raspberry-pi

Question

I want to read data from mfrc522 (Iduino RFID-rc522) card reader using my RPi Pico but I don't know how to. I was trying to use mfrc522.py MicroPython library made for this purpose. Reader is communicating with Pi over SPI and I connected it to SPI0.
Code on pi:
import time
from machine import I2C, Pin, SPI
from mfrc522 import MFRC522
sck = Pin(6, Pin.OUT)
mosi = Pin(7, Pin.OUT)
miso = Pin(4, Pin.OUT)
spi = SPI(0, baudrate=100000, polarity=0, phase=0, sck=sck, mosi=mosi, miso=miso)
sda = Pin(5, Pin.OUT)
rst = Pin(22, Pin.OUT)
while True:
rdr = MFRC522(spi, sda, rst)
uid = ""
(stat, tag_type) = rdr.request(rdr.REQIDL)
if stat == rdr.OK:
(stat, raw_uid) = rdr.anticoll()
if stat == rdr.OK:
uid = ("0x%02x%02x%02x%02x" % (raw_uid[0], raw_uid[1], raw_uid[2], raw_uid[3]))
print(uid)
And Library:

from os import uname
class MFRC522:
OK = 0
NOTAGERR = 1
ERR = 2
REQIDL = 0x26
REQALL = 0x52

My output is absolutely clear and I am not getting any print. Where's my problem?

Answer 1

After straggling with this problem too and posting an unuseful answer which was deleted, i finally managed to get it work. Take a look at this thread at raspberry.org, especially at the GitHub repo from danjperron mentioned there.
I copied the code to my Pico and changed the pin numbers in examples/Pico_read.py, line 11 to reader = MFRC522(spi_id=0,sck=6,miso=4,mosi=7,cs=5,rst=22) to match your used pins. It will print out something like Card detected 0C9B5023 if it works.

Answer 2

The miso is an input to the pico. Try changing the miso pin assignment to miso = Pin(4, Pin.IN, Pin.PULL_DOWN)
