I am testing CS8300 RFID tag by using Motorola Scanner SDK and Motorola DS9808-SR rfid reader.
Basically, all the simple tasks work: let scanner beep, getting epcID through attribute 35001, etc; EXCEPT:
That I ALWAYS get status 2 (which means 'tag not found') from attribute 35009 after specifying a tag id through attribute 35002. Note: Attribute Explained in this doc
As you can see in my code (around line 80 'attribute 35002 setup'), I tried many different formats of epcID, like 0080B0403C0000000C015F85 or 0x00 0x0e 0x08 0x80 0x00 0x80 0xb0 0x40 0x3c 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x0c 0x01 0x5f 0x85 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00, but none worked.
What do I miss? By the way I tested several BAP tags already. Tags themselves are good because they can be read by other readers/SDKs.
