Escape Commands

[StevenParticipant]

Hey all!

How do I use the Flomio SDK Pro with the FloBLE Plus to send Escape Commands? In particular I would like to send this command “E0 00 00 21 01 87” to turn off the buzzer on card scan and use my own scan sounds. I am able to do this with the BTDemo app included with the ACS EVK, but I cannot figure out how to do it with the Flomio SDK.

Thank you!

Hi Steven, we haven’t exposed the Escape command interface in the Flomio SDK in order to keep development simple for newbies. We can add support for turning on/off buzzer in the configuration class. Could that work?

best,
Richard

That’d be great! I’m always in favor of simpler. I also want to be able to poll for battery level, so I can keep track of all device’s health during the event. I haven’t looked, but I’m pretty sure there’s an escape command for that too. If there was some way to send escape commands like APDU commands, I could create my own implementation.

Hi Steven,

Apologies that this was unattended to for a long while, we have a very small engineering team and sometimes issues like this can slip through the cracks.
Have you continued working on this, is this something you are still looking to resolve?

I am also looking for a way to turn the beep / buzzer off, specifically when a card enters or leaves the reader field (a beep when the reader connects is OK for my application).

Basically, my app takes the UUID, looks it up in a database and then plays a custom sound depending on success, failure, etc. The default beep is distracting.

Having an option to turn the buzzer on/off in the configuration class would be great!

Hi Hal,

I’ll aim to have this in the next update for the iOS SDK.
