Hello everyone. Currently, I am using " [rc522](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-rc522)" node to read rfid tags (id, data). Is there any node to write rfid tags?

What hardware are you planning to use use to write to the tags?

I want to use the same hardware what i am using to read rfid tags. So I have [RC522 RF IC Reader](https://www.amazon.de/YXPCARS-Arduino-Raspberry-Transponder-Packung/dp/B08G15MRLV/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=Arduino+RFID&qid=1622276440&sr=8-4)  
and raspberry pi 3.

Does that device write as well as read tags? I can't see where on the link you posted where it says it can write as well as read.

Actually currently, to write the tags, I am using raspberry 3, RC522 RF IC Reader, and Maker pHAT and follw the following [tutorial](https://tutorial.cytron.io/2020/02/26/read-and-write-rfid-data-using-rc522-on-raspberry-pi/) and it is working.  
But for reading I am using raspberry 3, and RC522 RF IC Reader with Nodered, and I want to also write tags in Nodered.

If I had to do this I would probably modify the python script in the tutorial and run the script from node-red. Alternatively you could post an issue against the node you are using to see if the author can add a write function.

Thanks. Sure, I am going to request to the node author.

I have raised the request at author github.but I did not get any response. 😔
