THIS IS NOT A DUPLICATE QUESTION. My main problem is that whenever I attach the third RC522, the whole system becomes unstable. When I attach the fourth, suddenly one or two of the modules stop working, which is completely random. I have attached a capacitor between 3.3v and GND to regulate the voltage of the modules. There is no voltage drop in the input. I have changed and used various kinds of wiring.

UPDATE: I added 1 sec delay before accessing each rc522 but did not solve the problem.

UPDATE 1: I added 1 sec delay before accessing each rc522 but did not solve the problem.

UPDATE 2 When the 1st module is connected to arduino and its SDA pin connected to the pin 10, the output of DumpInfo code is as follow

I've been working non-stop for over two weeks, trying to solve a problem. I'm building a puzzle with four RC522 modules. When I connect more than one RC522 to an Arduino Uno, the device stops working randomly. Initially, everything seemed fine. I began adding the modules one by one, but suddenly, without any apparent reason, the whole system stopped functioning.

I've tried using six different Arduinos and eleven different RC522 modules. Initially, they worked correctly, but after some time, everything went wrong, similar to the issue described above. I've experimented with different codes, considered power drop issues, and even added a 2-amp power supply. I've used both 3.3V and 5V supplies and attempted to add pull-up resistors to each CS line. I also made sure that every connection is correct by using the multimeter. I also tried to add decoupling cap on the VCC. I used shared and separated rst pins. Two sample codes are as below:

the simple one to just test the modules:

#include <SPI.h>
#include <MFRC522.h>

#define RST_PIN         3         // Configurable, see typical pin layout above
#define SS_PIN          10         // Configurable, see typical pin layout above

MFRC522 mfrc522(SS_PIN, RST_PIN);  // Create MFRC522 instance

void setup() {
    Serial.begin(9600);     // Initialize serial communications with the PC
    while (!Serial);        // Do nothing if no serial port is opened (added for Arduinos based on ATMEGA32U4)
    SPI.begin();            // Init SPI bus
  digitalWrite(SS_PIN, HIGH);
    mfrc522.PCD_Init();     // Init MFRC522
    delay(4);               // Optional delay. Some board do need more time after init to be ready, see Readme
    mfrc522.PCD_DumpVersionToSerial();  // Show details of PCD - MFRC522 Card Reader details
    Serial.println(F("Scan PICC to see UID, SAK, type, and data blocks..."));
}

void loop() {
    // Reset the loop if no new card present on the sensor/reader. This saves the entire process when idle.
    if ( ! mfrc522.PICC_IsNewCardPresent()) {
        return;
    }

    // Select one of the cards
    if ( ! mfrc522.PICC_ReadCardSerial()) {
        return;
    }

    // Dump debug info about the card; PICC_HaltA() is automatically called
    mfrc522.PICC_DumpToSerial(&(mfrc522.uid));
}

My own ocde:

I'm building a puzzle with four RC522 modules. When I connect more than one RC522 to an Arduino Uno, the device stops working randomly. Initially, everything seemed fine. I began adding the modules one by one, but suddenly, without any apparent reason, the whole system stopped functioning.

I've tried using six different Arduinos and eleven different RC522 modules. Initially, they workef correctly, but after some time, everything went wrong, similar to the issue described above. I've experimented with different codes, considered power drop issues, and even added a 2 A power supply. I've used both 3.3 V and 5 V supplies and attempted to add pull-up resistors to each CS line. I also made sure that every connection is correct by using the multimeter. I also tried to add decoupling cap on the VCC. I used shared and separated RST pins.

Two sample programs are below, the simple one just to test the modules:

#include <SPI.h>
#include <MFRC522.h>

#define RST_PIN         3         // Configurable, see typical pin layout above
#define SS_PIN          10         // Configurable, see typical pin layout above

MFRC522 mfrc522(SS_PIN, RST_PIN);  // Create MFRC522 instance

void setup() {
    Serial.begin(9600);     // Initialize serial communications with the PC
    while (!Serial);        // Do nothing if no serial port is opened (added for Arduinos based on ATMEGA32U4)
    SPI.begin();            // Init SPI bus
    digitalWrite(SS_PIN, HIGH);
    mfrc522.PCD_Init();     // Init MFRC522
    delay(4);               // Optional delay. Some board do need more time after init to be ready, see Readme
    mfrc522.PCD_DumpVersionToSerial();  // Show details of PCD - MFRC522 Card Reader details
    Serial.println(F("Scan PICC to see UID, SAK, type, and data blocks..."));
}

void loop() {
    // Reset the loop if no new card present on the sensor/reader. This saves the entire process when idle.
    if ( ! mfrc522.PICC_IsNewCardPresent()) {
        return;
    }

    // Select one of the cards
    if ( ! mfrc522.PICC_ReadCardSerial()) {
        return;
    }

    // Dump debug info about the card; PICC_HaltA() is automatically called
    mfrc522.PICC_DumpToSerial(&(mfrc522.uid));
}

My own code:

#include <SPI.h>

//#define RST_PIN_C 5

#define SS_PIN_D 7
//#define RST_PIN_D 6

#define RELAY_PIN 4  // Pin connected to the relay
