Smart Card interaction with ACR122U - nfc

I'm trying to write an application that will interact with smart cards using an ACS ACR122U card terminal. According to all that I can find the API uses a combination of standard APDU commands and psuedo-APDUs to interact with the terminal, however psuedo-APDUs don't seem to work as claimed.
The API Reference (provided on the ACS site) indicates that APDUs of the form "FF XX XX XX ..." will be interpreted by the terminal (rather than sent to the card) but I always get a response status of "6E XX" (which I interpret as me sending an invalid class ID).
I've tried sending commands to flash the LEDs on the terminal using "FF 00 40 0F 04 00 00 00 00" and also tried to get some unique identifier from the card using "FF CA 01 00".
I can't find anything useful within the ISO 7816-4 document (the standard for smart cards) and the API reference provided by ACS. Also, ACS are not very forthcoming with information.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what I may be doing wrong or where I might look for additional information?
I can get an ATR - Answer To Reset from the terminal when a card is connected. I'm developing for interaction with Mifare 1K cards and would like to read from them and interact with the LEDs and buzzer on the terminal.

You can retrieve the API documentation here. This is ACS' proprietary APDUs so don't refer to standard ISO-7816 specification. Refer to section 6 for pseudo-APDU requirements.
To simulate LED, refer to section 6.2 for details and appendix E for example. You may try changing your APDU as follow: FF 00 40 FF 04 0A 0A 03 03. Please note that I set the LED control and also put non-zero values for LED duration.
For the second APDU, refer to section 4. Please note that you are missing P3/Le in your APDU (shall be FF CA 01 00 00) and you need the card reader connected with PICC.

Felica Card Error: Area or Service specified by the command cannot be accessed

I am using javax.smartcardio library to access my Felica card. I am able to get the ID of the felica card without any error. When I try to write a block to Felica card, I am getting the following status flag.
0xA5: Area or Service specified by the command cannot be accessed.
Here is the format of the command apdu I am using,
FF 00 00 00 D4 40 01 08 <8 bytes of ID> 01 < number of blocks 01> <16 bytes sof data>
The response I am getting is:
D5 41 00 <8 bytes of ID> 01 A5
The status flag2-A5 is the error specifying 'Area or Service specified by the command cannot be accessed.'
After discussing with the Felica manufacturing team, I found that the card was empty and that's the reason I can't write/read the block.

Getting chip card PAN or PAN sequence with the sequence of APDU commands: how can I get them?

I've got a contactless chip card (not bank or SIM) which I can interact by NFC channel (ISO14443, ISO 7816 Part 4).
All I want to get from this card is getting of UID of the card, which can help me to differ one card from others. As I understand this is PAN value which I can get under the tag '5A'.
Firstly, I can send this command to the card
00:a4:04:00:0e:32:50:41:59:2e:53:59:53:2e:44:44:46:30:31:00
and get positive answer (SW:9000) with the AID value.
So, I have AID and I can send such command
00:a4:04:00:LеnAID:<AID>:00
to open file for reading TLV-based info under different Tag, am I right?
But when I send ('5A' - tag for PAN)
00:CA:00:5A:00
I have bad response -> 6E:00
So,
1)Should I change Class value (CLA = 00 for right now)? And for what value?
2)Maybe I have to change INS value for READ RECORD (B0 or B2 or something else) because "The kernel uses the value of the AFL (i.e. tag ‘94’) to issue one or more READ RECORD commands retrieve the Application data elements", in my case tag '5A' for PAN.
If so, what the complete workflow should be for getting PAN?
UPD.
When I sent
ff:ca:00:00:00
I receive
6e:00
For unknown for me reason I couldn't get positive answer on command
FF:CA:00:00:00
I got answer 6E:00
But I found another way how to get card info. I have to execute not one but a sequence of commands:
1) Firstly I have to find out the AID of the applet. If you know AID you can skip this step (2PAY.SYS.DDF in my case)
00:a4:04:00:0e:32:50:41:59:2e:53:59:53:2e:44:44:46:30:31:00
2) Then SELECT APPLICATION
00 A4 04 00 AID-Lenth AID
3) After that we GET PROCESSING OPTIONS
80 A8 00 00 02 83 00 00
4) And READ RECORD
00 B2 01 14 00
For decoding TLV-response I use this utility - https://www.emvlab.org/tlvutils
In response I got not only 5A tag but also others and for right now I have to parse the whole R-APDU for fetching particular tag value.
Is there any java-libs for parsing TLV-response?

APDU command to write the Changed PIN into the card

What APDU command gets the PIN from the smart card and write the Changed PIN into the card?
For writing the code on card I have found 80 D4 00 00 08 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 to set pin 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 but we got 6D 00 in response i.e Instruction code not supported or invalid.
Or are there any WIN APIs that can be used?
Thanks in advance.
Severe misunderstanding: Nothing gets the stored PIN from the card. Using the VERIFY command you can only supply a comparison value and find out, whether it is correct - if it is not, the retry counter will decrease and the PIN may block. There is the standard command CHANGE REFERENCE DATA, see ISO 7816-4, but standard commands have CLA=00 while you currently try CLA=80 (first byte of the command).
6D00 can also be found there and since it means "wrong INS code" the whole command may be wrong. (A PIN consisting of non-printable bytes is also somewhat untypical.)
Without knowing, which card you have and which specification it complies to, you will not make significant progress.
While WINSCARD may be your friend to get the command transported, it will not help in the respect of finding the correct bytes.

How do I read the Apple Wallet Walgreens Loyalty card using APDU?

Apple Wallet supports the Value Added Services protocol. I want to use this to read the Walgreens loyalty card (the only NFC-enabled loyalty card I have), to better understand the technology.
The APDU commands needed for this can be found on page 68 in the NFC.15 spec, where APDU command SELECT FILE is described:
http://www.gsma.com/digitalcommerce/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/NFC.15-Version-1.0-Mobile-Commerce-NFC-Coupons-and-Acceptance-Technical-Proposal.pdf
Trancieving the following APDU SELECT FILE to the Apple Watch (while having the card selected)
00 A4 04 00 07 A0 00 00 05 59 00 01 00
Returns
6A 82 (File not found)
From the documentation I expected this command to select the present loyalty card file, or a special response containing a list of more specific IDs if multiple files are available. What am I doing wrong? Does the Apple Wallet use a custom RID?
Karl, You need the Merchant ID or Application ID. Without the AID (Based on the NFC Spec) you will not be able to get the Customer ID or even get any other data from the Reward pass.
Check this blog entry for more details:
http://flomio.com/2016/07/nfc-enabled-passes-on-apple-wallet/
In case anyone is wondering if simply specifying a different 2 byte Application Code after the RID of A0 00 00 05 59, which the NFC.15 document assumes is 00 01 will yield a successful file/application selection (SW 90 00), it won't. I tried all 65,536 combinations of these two bytes with no luck. So yes, some additional information is clearly needed. The link above is now dead, so I have raised a support inquiry with Apple Pay (as other posts mention) to see if the documentation required by NFC terminal makers/integrators can be made available under NDA. So far the Apple support team is giving me a bit of a runaround but I think once they understand that I'm seeking non public documentation I'll get the information I need :) I'll keep this post updated if they respond to my inquiry.

Ultralight C, Smartcardio and ACR122

I'm developing in a Java project with a PS/SC ACR122U with the library SmartCardIO. When I put a password and modified the page 0x2A, I am trying to read again the tag. Indeed, I know the protocol and I found here (http://www.eps.no/downloads/pdf/API_ACR128_v1.9.pdf) the APDU Command is:
FF 00 00 00 02 1A 00
But when I introduce that APDU I get an exception with message:
apdu must be at least 2 bytes long
However I'm using a tool called ACE122U Tool where I can send APDU Commands to the Tag and I can see how it answers me. So when I send the command before the tag doesn't answer.
I don't know how can I resolve it, any ideas?
Incredible, I posted the problem and looking again for a solution, I found the solution. Naturally, the APDU Command was wrong. The command is:
FF:00:00:00:04:D4:42:1A:00
