'Zebra FX7500. Using HTTP POST to send data from reader to url
I bought a zebra FX 7500 fixed rfid reader. I have connected it to my work laptop. I want to transfer the read data of the tags from the reader to a web application hosted on my localhost. The application is hosted on http://127.0.0.1:8000 using a django server. How can I POST data to a specific URL of my web app with this configuration?
Solution 1:[1]
You could:
- Upgrade to the latest firmware ([3.10.30.0])1 which is free and use the IoT Connector service to use the HTTP POST method to send the tag data.
- Buy a license for the FX7500 service "FX Connect" to use the HTTP POST method to send the tag data.
Both are done in the web GUI of the reader.
Solution 2:[2]
The FX7500 SDK is here: https://www.zebra.com/us/en/support-downloads/software/developer-tools/fx7500-series-sdk.html and supports applications in both C & Java. You would need to write an application in one of those two lanaguages to post the received data to your web app.
