How to run the examples

In order to run the examples provided, you can follow these steps:

1. Download the examples from the Downloads section

2. Connect the AdvanReader according to the provided section:

• Connection instructions for AdvanReader-m1-10

• Connection instructions for AdvanReader-m2-10

3. Detect which port the reader is using. By default, /dev/ttyUSB0 is used if not specified:

• • In Linux: similar to ttyUSB0. You can check all the devices using the command: ls /dev/

  • In windows: use the Device Manager from the Control Panel and look for the COM ports:

4. Open Eclipse and Open the project:

4.1. Go to File --> Open Projects from File System:

4.2. Click on Directory and Browse to find the project in your disk. Then, click on Finish

5. Specify the arguments of the program (libraries and usb port). To do so, add the run Configuration:

5.1. Click on the arrow next to the green button and then on Run Configurations

5.2. Double click on Java Application. Select a name (1), click on Browse (2) and find the project on your disk. Then, click on Search (3) to find the Main class of the example. In our case, we are going to test the "ADRD_M1_10Asynch example:

5.3. Click on Apply

5.4. Go to the Arguments tab and specify the port and the serial library. In our case, since we are using the ttyUSB0 Linux port, and the 64 bits architecture, the Program and VM arguments are as follows:

For Windows systems, the Program arguments will be similar to this:

eapi://COM10

Where COM10 must be changed for the port you are using (COM1, COM2)... more info available using the command "mode" on the terminal.

As for the VM arguments, will be similar to the following one (for Windows 64 bits):

-Djava.library.path=./native-lib/win-amd64

6. Click on Run. The program should print the tags read on the console:

Troubleshooting

Error: Port not found

If you try to run the example, but you get an error like the one on the photo:

Then Open Eclipse IDE with Administrator privileges (as root). You can do it by using the console with sudo or using the command gksudo (you will have to specify the installation path)
