232key Pro version 0.7.7 – MyWeigh UltraShip-U2 support

We’ve included a device profile for the very affordable MyWeigh UltraShip-U2 scale in this release of our software.

Please note:

  • Only models which appear as a virtual COM port when connected to the computer are supported (this is not the case for earlier versions of this scale):

  • This scale only sends the weight when the SEND button is pressed. It is not possible to use polling:

232key Pro version 0.7.4 released – NCI protocol support

We’ve released 232key Pro 0.7.4 with support for the NCI General Serial Communications Protocol (described in this PDF).

This protocol is not only used by NCI, Brecknell and Avery Weigh-Tronix scales (ITW brands/companies), but also others like the Ohaus Aviator 7000. One of our users has kindly confirmed that it works perfectly with his Brecknell GP250-USB scale.

To use this bi-directional protocol, first select it as the Device in the Input tab, press the Set defaults button and confirm that all settings match those of your scale:

NCI protocol for scales

Next, go to Control tab, enable polling with a hotkey and click on Set default command for NCI:

NCI protocol: Hotkey to request weight

When you press the keyboard shortcut, 232keyPro sends the “W<CR>” command to request the weight to the scale, processes the response and types the weight at the cursor position.
