Flojack (msr and bzr) vs acr35

[JPParticipant]

I have an app built for ACR35 using drivers located in folder ACR35 on your github. One of my users bought a Flojack BZR and I cant make it work. I tried the reader with my app and with the demo app (from the git) : I hear the beep when connecting it but thats it. Neither it works with your app “NFC Actions” on the appStore.

Should the BZR work with the same drivers a Flobjack MSR or OEM ACR35 would?

FloJack BZR uses an entirely different driver than the FloJack MSR/ACR35. The driver is published on the flomio_ios and flomio_android GitHub repos under the aR530 folder.

is there a way to detect which reader is connected, then use appropriate commands?

[RichardKeymaster]

That’s a tricky thing given that for the FloBLE’s you can have many readers connected at once. We could add a “scan” API to the SDK to allow for searching for connected readers and fire asynchronous callbacks every time one is found… would that work for you?

[JPParticipant]

My concern is only to dectect which kind of flojack is connected in the audioJack

I didn’t check yet the aR530 api but I could probably try to communicate with the ACR35 and if an exception occur, try with the aR530 api.

[RichardKeymaster]

That would work.

[JPParticipant]

can you tell me when the FloJack BZR has been introduced in your product line?

[RichardKeymaster]

Hi JP, we added the BZR to our product line in February, 2016. We will be adding a few more readers later this year.

best,
Richard
