How do I use the RC522 module with a raspberry pi5 board? The instructions I found are related to pi4, and on pi5 we can no longer use the RPi.GPIO module. I believe gpiozero library has to be used. ---

Sorry, but the RC522 module is not compatible with the Raspberry Pi 5 at this time. You can move to our tutorial to see some of the modules that are compatible with Raspberry Pi 5: [https://docs.sunfounder.com/projects/raphael-kit/en/latest/](https://docs.sunfounder.com/projects/raphael-kit/en/latest/) ---

If it’s not compatible with the Raspberry Pi5, why would you put a script, a library and a lesson (text) about how to use the RFID RC522 board? I’ve been trying to do that lesson all week! you are not funny at all!
