For access-control research and testing. Copying or emulating credentials you do not own is a crime in most countries. Buyers are responsible for their local law.

Cards you are authorised to clone or emulate.
Keep in mind
Emulation only; it cannot read and crack like a Proxmark.

Build it yourself

Open hardware

RfidResearchGroup publishes a schematic PDF and Gerber fab files for the Chameleon Lite in the same GitHub repo as the firmware; no separate BOM file is included.

Research notes

Verified via gh api tree listing on RfidResearchGroup/ChameleonUltra (hardware/lite/*) and by downloading and unzipping the .zip (contains Gerber/NC-drill files, no BOM). Per RRG's own ChameleonUltraDocs hardware.md, the Lite omits the MFRC522 HF-reader chip that the Ultra/Devkit have, so it can only simulate, not read/write, HF tags.
