Then open the example, “File” -> “Examples” -> “AmebaNFC” -> “UriWebPage”
Compile and upload to Ameba, then press the reset button.
Bring the back of the smartphone close to the NFC antenna of Ameba.
If the NFC connection is established successfully, some system might open the webpage directly, while some system pop an alert window to confirm whether you want to open the webpage.

The NFC API of Ameba provides the common NDEF Class. In the sample code, appendRtdUri() is used to set the webpage to be opened on the smartphone (the “http://www.” part is not needed).
NfcTag.appendRtdUri("amebaiot.com");Next use NFC.begin() to start the NFC module.
