NEW: Use Android for Data Acquisition with PCs or MACs

-

New Version!

As of today the new version of GetBlue, an Android app for automated data aquisition, is available.

GetBlue collects device data in the background and forwards captured data to adjustable destinations. The following devices and interfaces are supported in V2.8:

  • Bluetooth SPP (server and client mode),
  • TCP/IP sockets (server and client mode),
  • HTTP,
  • 3rd party camera scanners like the app Barcode Scanner from ZXing
Captured device data can be displayed, saved, uploaded or forwarded to
  • adjustable target devices or target applications (PCs with Microsoft Windows, MAC computers, Google Docs spreadsheets, other Bluetooth devices, web applications, ...),
  • files on the SD card,
  • or injected into 3rd party applications (software wedge mode).

Highlights of the new Version:

  • Bluetooth server support
    Previous GetBlue versions worked exclusively in Bluetooth client mode. Client mode is required to connect to other Bluetooth servers like a Bluetooth barcode scanner. The new Bluetooth server mode can now be used for establishing PC connections: Data captured or scanned with the Android device can automatically sent to a PC for further processing. Server mode is supported for TCP/IP connections as well.
  • Licensing without Android Market
    For users without access to Android Market or for bulk-licensing requirements GetBlue can now be licensed by manually installing license certificates. In order to use this feature you need to download GetBlue from tec-it.com and contact TEC-IT for a certificate (price on request). Please note that the version available on Android Market does not support manual licensing.
  • Transparent Proxy
    As mentioned above GetBlue works as transparent proxy between devices and/or protocols. Data from a Bluetooth device can be forwarded via TCP/IP or HTTP. This behavior is freely adjustable by means of data-source and data-sink configuration.

Give it a try!

Download GetBlue from Android market or from TEC-IT.COM. TEC-IT supports this app, in case of questions, problems or feature requests just get in touch with us!

Data Center Power Outage Resilience, a Real-World Scenario (be warned, this post is off-topic) Longer-lasting grid power outages can pose significant challenges to data centers. In this blog post, we share a real-world scenario where the V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) function of a KIA EV6 became a lifeline for our data center. Specifically, we'll delve into the steps taken to utilize the KIA EV6 to power the UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) of our data center during an outage caused by a planned power grid shutdown. The Challenge In this particular instance, our power grid operator scheduled a power shutdown in our area to perform major replacement and upgrade work, leaving the data center without its usual power supply for about two hours.
