## What it is
Pixl.js is an open-source hardware emulator for Nintendo Amiibo figures, based on a replica of the Espruino Pixl.js board. It emulates NTAG21X NFC tags so users can emulate Amiibo on a custom device.

## Use cases
- emulate amiibo figures on a custom nfc device
- simulate ntag215 tags for nintendo switch
- build a portable amiibo emulator hardware
- manage an amiibo database on a handheld device

## When to choose
- you want a dedicated open-source hardware device to emulate Amiibo
- you want to study NFC tag emulation firmware in C

## When to avoid
- you need a software-only Amiibo emulator without custom hardware
- you want a commercial or legally risk-free product - it is for research/learning only

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: embedded, simulation, security
- domain: hardware, gaming-tools, embedded-systems
- platform: embedded, iot
- tags: amiibo, nfc-emulation, ntag215, firmware, hardware-project, nintendo
