Agrinet HerdApp now supports a number of EID readers that support Bluetooth 4.0 (BLE profile).
The following readers have been tested:
(Other models may work but can't be guaranteed)
Agrident AWR250 (Device must be set to BLE + Bluetooth enabled)
Tru-Test SRS2i (Device set to BLE by default, older models without the i do not work as they do not support BLE)
Shearwell SDL 4402-L (Device set to BLE by default)
RealTrace RT250 (Device set to BLE by default)
NB: Set wand to BLE mode before pairing with HerdApp
A new icon now appears anywhere a wand can be used in HerdApp.
If the Icon is white, click on it to open the menu to pair a wand.
A green icon means a wand is paired and ready to work.
Pick animal screens also work with a wand for selecting animals for batch tasks.
Agrident AWR250 configuration:
(other current Agrident models are likely similar to configure)
Press the blue button and enable slave mode.
Press and hold the blue button and select "Set Bluetooth Profile"
Troubleshooting steps:
1. On Android most communication issues can be resolved by removing any pairings from your handsets bluetooth menu (varies by model).
2. Re-pair device only from within HerdApp using the wand icon (Do not pair with device before opening HerdApp).
3. Some wands may have a successful connection indicator (SRS2i has a blue LED, AWR250 a green bluetooth icon on screen)
