I’m not sure, but I would have thought that it would be the scale that is API enabled, but I could be wrong. Hopefully somebody with more experience could chime in @BrianHenderson perhaps as some insight.

What’s your use case, @rohannnnnnnnnnnnnn965 ? Lots of solutions available, but ask a vague question and you’ll get a vague answer. Sounds like you’re hoping for some kind of native mobile control of a paired device but you’ll need to be more specific.

I’ve only ever used a weight scale communicating via serial (or with a USB to serial adapter cable) with a 3rd-party program installed on the client computer to allow my Bubble app to talk to the scale. But that’s because I was already using this other program to control receipt printers, cash drawers, and label printers (and I didn’t want any sort of API to control those peripherals; important for security that it’s handled locally on the user’s device)

which api have you used in your pos system

If you’re looking for an API, then PrintNode is pretty good. In addition to controlling receipt printers, it can also interact with scales.

I’ve written here on the forums a few times about the setup I use. I don’t use an API but instead I use a 3rd-party program installed on the client’s device that allows me to communicate with it via JavaScript locally.

How to connect a weight scale to your Bubble app Tips

I’ve been asked via private message a few times lately about weight scale integration with Bubble for the point-of-sale system I built. I thought it might be useful to post my answer here so that I can just link people to it in case I get asked again! There are three different methods to connect a weight scale that you might consider researching as you build your Bubble app: The first would be to simply use a scale that has a HID mode (keyboard emulation) and a USB connection, where it appear…

ESC/POS Printing Questions

I highly recommend taking a look at JSPrintManager by Neodynamic. Free to use with no limits while testing which is AWESOME. I found it very easy to work with to interface Bubble with ESC/POS receipt printers and ZPL label printers. You control them via JavaScript! You can even control serial devices like weight scales.
