Problems with SDK 2.3 Pro beta

[WayneParticipant]

I can’t get StopReader and SleepReader to work, that also means that I don’t know if StartReader will work because I can’t stop the reader. I also see from your Readme on the latest SDK that you can only read 16 bits of the Ndef record, what good is that? Also you SDK docs leave out a lot of information, example communicationStatus has values for Scanning 0, Connected 1 & Off 2, but are there others because these are not listed in your docs.

Hey,

What about start and stop reader are not working? We use them for multiple applications and they work for our needs.
I have added a convenience method to a beta SDK for you to read Ndef data:

 flomioMW.readNdef(deviceId) { (ndef) in
        for record in (ndef?.ndefRecords)! {
            let ndefRecord = record as! NdefRecord
            print(ndefRecord.payloadString)
        }
 }

You can try it with this beta: SDK v2.3 beta
The current size limit is 16 pages of Ndef data, which is 64 bytes.

Communication Status is

typedef NS_ENUM(NSInteger, CommunicationStatus) {
    kScanning, //scanning for tags
    kConnected, //connected to bluetooth but not scanning
    kDisconnected //disconnected from bluetooth
};

If you have anymore questions about areas which left out of the docs, please let me know.

When I use flomioMW.stopReader(deviceSerialNumber) it still allows me to scan tags. I have a screen that I allow users to scan tags and it displays information, and then takes them to another page to fill in some questions. When I change screens I want to stop the reader so they can’t scan any tags on the question page. Then after saving that information I will return to the scan page and start the reader up again.

I am using the Pro SDK, did you add

flomioMW.readNdef(deviceId) { (ndef) in
        for record in (ndef?.ndefRecords)! {
            let ndefRecord = record as! NdefRecord
            print(ndefRecord.payloadString)
        }
 }

to the Pro SDK also?

I will have to try reproduce that behaviour with starting and stopping the reader scanning tags for you on Monday. In case you haven’t already, make sure you set the powerOperation before initializing the sessionManager.

I have updated the Pro SDK too, that should be the same link.

We will be adding better documentation very soon too.

Hi Wayne,

Can you please use kAutoPollingControl for PowerOperation in FmConfiguration to disable scanning while using the app. startReaders and stopReaders will enable / disable polling for tags while this is set.

Hi Wayne,

How are you getting on? Did you get a chance to use the readNdef feature?
