Hi,

Hope you are doing well. In the section 3.2.1 of the User Guide, mentions that the firmware runs on the NTAG I2C plus Explorer board and is flashed during production at the MCU.

You don't need a USB connection if you are using your smartphone. The Energy harvesting functionality of the NTAG I2C plus enables the powering up of the complete demo kit board with the energy harvested from the RF interface without any battery.

The USB mode is for the Peek and Poke GUI. This information is in the section 3.2.4 of the same guide.

Could you please try checking the Explorer Demo APP of the section 4.?

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Best Regards,

Ricardo

Have you checked if your NFC is ON at your smart phone?

I remember this is a pcb with LED in the kit. You can put that pcb on your phone, and if the NFC is on, the LED would blink. This way we can rule out whether it is your phone.

And there are 2 types of the kit, NT322E, and NT322ER. The "R" contains NFC reader with it. You may try to install the I2C demo software on PC, and try to work with a USB connected reader. I did it this way when I play with the kit.
