RFID Write - Ino

This document contains an Arduino sketch for interfacing with an MFRC522 RFID reader. It initializes the RFID reader, writes a predefined message to a specific block on an RFID card, and reads it back to verify the operation. The code includes functions for writing and reading blocks, along with error handling for authentication and read/write operations.
