RFID : SDK and devices

RFID : SDK and devices

This question is not answered

Hello,

 

We want to buy a new device for our Demo.

Actually I'm integrating the RFID C++ sample in my own solution on Visual Studio in C++ with a WAP3 (head UHF-CA3-AC5-XMOD) (equipment lent).

I saw on the site that Neo and Omnii have their own RFID SDK.

Does it mean that I've have to do the same job for this 2 devices ?

And for the device that we want to buy, is it more clever to take a Wap3 or the same code source can be used ?

Thanks for your help

  • Ok, I've read the doc RFID software Guide -B03 !

    And it seems that the C++ source and demo code and DLL are the same for all the CAEN heads.

    So I can choose Neo or WAP and use the same code for both of them if I choose a CAEN head.

    Am I right ?

    Best regards

  • Hi Frédéric.

    The real reason to keep in mind is the RFID transponder type (UHF in this case) and using solutions across HHT ranges that are compatible.

    1) Keep OS compatible (Windows CE 5.0)  {Not particularly important, it just keeps consistency in support}

    2) Keep Transponder operational frequencies the same  (UHF in this case.) This predicates the transponder operational frequency, but also the tags and the correspondent Data Storage Setup if you are writing / reading custom data to / from the RFID tags. {transponders}

    3) Keep RFID vendor technologies the same {In this case CAEN} for more or less the same reason, -- it just keeps the software development simpler.

    I hope this helps.

  • Hi Sean !

     

    We choose this one :

    Neo RFID Module UHF- CAQ-A1 - WM6.1 Circular polarization.

  • Hi every one !

    I'm a little bit lost and confused !!

    We received our new Neo RFID and I'm in charged to test it.

    My fisrt RFID tests were on WAP, see there :http://community.psion.com/support/f/17/p/11913/40503.aspx#40503

    So today i've have made tests with the same platform and the same demo (TestCaenRfidLib).

    But the fisrt instruction :     rfidMgrHandle = CreateFile(L"RFD1:",
                                GENERIC_EXECUTE,
                                0,0,
                                OPEN_EXISTING,
                                0,0);

    return error code 55 !

    I have search error codes ont the teknet : not found !

    But I've found this : http://community.psion.com/downloads/developer_sdkhdk/m/rfid_sdk/34543.aspx

    And so i'm lost !

    If I use something else than the PtxSdkCpp.dll from the C:\Program Files\Psion\Mobile Devices SDK V5.4\windowsmobile6\studio2005  it won't works !

    Restart from the begining :

    I've a Neo RFID Module UHF- CAQ-A1 - WM6.1 Circular polarization.

    I use Visual studio 2008

    I've donwloaded UHF - CAEN Tools - V3.31 !

    What must I do to make it works ! I mean TestCaenRfidLib demo.

    Thanks for your help !

    Best regards.
