Technology Solutions (UK) Ltd has implemented a common object model for Android, iOS, Windows Desktop, Windows Mobile and Windows Phone. This document is provided as an overview of using this object model to perform ASCII 2 commands with a TSL ASCII 2 device |
The TSL® range of Bluetooth® connected UHF RFID readers are able to appear to host devices as an HID keyboard. In this mode the data read by the reader is sent to the host as if it were typed on the host’s keyboard. This document describes the Bluetooth® HID mode in more detail. |
This document describes USB charging behaviour, safety features and the best programming practises for tethered mode operation. |
This document details Log file and Autorun file commands/responses that can be used with TSL Bluetooth UHF RFID Readers with a micro-SD card installed. |
This Windows application connects to an 1128, 1153, 1166, 2128 or IH21 UHF RFID Reader (via a USB connection) in order to generate diagnostic information that can be emailed to our Support team. The Virtual COM Port driver must be installed in order for this application to function correctly. V1.7 - Improved Bluetooth® and RFID tests. Please uninstall previous version before installing this one. V1.4 - Further Bluetooth® and barcode engine tests added. |
V2.4.0 Added new .sh command for HID over SPP connections ***Please Note**** TSL PC Firmware Downloader v1.13 or higher is required to load this firmware. Please also see Application Note – Downloading Firmware |
2.3.1: Added faster barcode startup Added extra startup beeps - one for HID, two for HII Added reset of Bluetooth reconnect mode on .bt -m Minor bug fixes ***Please Note**** TSL PC Firmware Downloader v1.13 or higher is required to load this firmware. Please also see Application Note – Downloading Firmware and 1153 Firmware History.

This version of RFID Explorer 2 for Android, with the same feature set as the Play Store App, provides support for the ePop-Loq® connector on 2128 and IH21 Readers. With a terminal in an ePop-Loq® case and mounted on the 2128/IH21 Reader, a 'TSL Reader' option will be available in the Select Reader screen. The Reader needs to have the ePop-Loq® connector in Charge and data mode (use TSL Reader Configuration App to change this). v2.1.2
v2.1.1
v2.1.0
|
v1.2.0 For ePop-Loq and USB OTG connected Readers: The Reader clock can now be reset to the current time from the Options screen. |
3.1.1 This release fixes an issue where connected Readers were not detected if the App was launched after the Reader was attached. It also provides improvements when switching between Apps that use the ePop-Loq® connector.
3.1.0 RFID Scan Scan Write can now connect to Readers through the ePop-Loq® connector and via USB OTG.
3.0.9 This update adds support for Bluetooth® connections to 2128 and IH21 Readers. |
This special version of RFID Tag Finder for Android, with the same feature set as the Play Store App, is able to connect to Readers with ePop-Loq® connectors, such as the 2128 and IH21 Readers. Snap a terminal, in an ePop-Loq® case, onto the Reader and the App will automatically launch, connect and be ready for use! Note that there is no support for Bluetooth® device connections in this version. This App can be installed along-side the Play Store (Bluetooth®) version and will identify as "TSL ePL Tag Finder". |
v2.0 This is the first release of the unified Android SDK v2.0 that supports both ePop-Loq®/USB and Bluetooth® Readers. The ReaderManager and Reader classes, introduced in the ePop-Loq SDK (v1.0.x), can now also handle Bluetooth® devices. A new Sample Project, ReaderManager, has been created that showcases the new ReaderManager classes and the updated DeviceList Activity project. All other Sample projects have been updated to use the new ReaderManager and DeviceList Activity project. The ConfigureBarcode Sample project now displays a Code 128 barcode on the UI to aid testing. |

TSL UHF ASCII 2.0 SDK v1.4.1 for iOS adds support for the 2128/IH21 reader and provides a popLoqMode parameter on the FactoryDefaultsCommand to allow changes to the mode of the ePop-Loq® connector on compatible devices. Bug fixes: All Sample projects have been updated to address a connection issue when switching Apps using the iOS task-switcher. This change moves the disconnection of the current Reader into the will ResignActive: method. We strongly recommend developers implement this approach to ensure multiple Apps can work effectively while sharing a single Reader. See the included "Framework Version History.txt" file for additional release details. |
The v1.1.0 release of the Xamarin SDK is now available and adds support for using ePop-Loq® & USB connected readers with Android devices.
