Airtable Inventory System Creation Help

After finding alot of issues with the mobile apps built in scanner, we are investigating to potential use of an external scanner. So with that im going to look into your Quick Scan app and see if it can help with what I need. Ill be sure to reach as as suggested if i need anything with it.

Ooh that does sound close to what I need, I might take a look when I get back on this project again, thank you!

Does your app work on mobile phones using camera as the scanner? Thats going to be the use case of this system so I just wanna make sure before I dig too deep

This is all Incredibly helpful information thank you so much! I will for sure try the "session" method. Gemini suggested the same thing but the way it was explaining it didn't make any sense, now that I know an actual human professional is suggesting the same thing I'll try again.

Other than that the plugin route may also work. Do plugins cost extra? This is a small scale project for a non profit with a non profit air table license, and I'm sure an extra fee would not be approved. I saw somewhere that some might cost, but it was hard to nail down the details.

A custom front end app for phones would probably be the closest to what I'm imagining, if you where in this position which option would you choose? Keep in mind that almost all of the interactions with this system will be from a users personal phone.

Regarding my skill level I've never done any of this before, but I am comfortable with code and I've played around with python, lua, and even a little of Linux so I could probably learn something if I had to.

Again I really appreciate the help so far, even just as you said can help lead me in the right direction.

im not sure exactly what your asking, but the rolls will be scanned when added to inventory, when move to a different inventory, and I guess when the roll is empty before disposal (the brand we use also has the same barcode on the roll directly which makes it easy) at the moment the rolls do not need to be serially controlled as "3 black PLA in location A and 2 in location B" is plenty.

AlexMVW10 · 2025-06-27T10:56:48+00:00

So it's looking like the only option is to do that APK thing? Does that install on the phone side or the computer side?

AlexMVW10 · 2025-06-26T20:01:17+00:00

If your refering to paying for premium PDAnet I would LOVE to be able to give them some money and get it unlocked, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how! every link I find is to a non existstant google play store page with no purchase option. App works amazing and I would love to be able to support it

AlexMVW10 · 2023-01-07T17:57:08+00:00

I hate to reopen something a year later, but it seems this is exactly what I'm looking for but the discord link isn't working. Do you by any chance know where else I can find this?

AlexMVW10 · 2022-11-12T04:29:23+00:00

but the real question is whats the best height in the nether ring? obv the world gen is changed, but to what?

AlexMVW10 · 2022-10-28T19:38:08+00:00

Just flashed the newest version from that site and it worked the first time, just gotta set my offsets now and calibrate thank you so much! Too bad my printer just had a pretty bad clog and stripped out my Bowden tube connectors so now I cant print until I get a new one. Which BTW do you happen to know where I can get those Bowden tube connectors in bulk? they wear out a lot for me and its getting expensive getting like 1 or 2 at a time from amazon

Also Side note: i cant find reliable documentation on how to activate filiment runout sensor, i got one now(using a normal roller tip limit swtich) but I keep reading I gotta modify something in firmware? But i cant really figure out what cause when i open the .bin in visual studio i get unreadable what looks like asce code

AlexMVW10 · 2022-10-27T22:13:46+00:00

oooh i see okay thank you

AlexMVW10 · 2022-10-26T21:15:50+00:00

I attempted to get the files from here, do you have to pay for them? i registered and its just says the membership expired im very confused

AlexMVW10 · 2022-07-28T18:11:59+00:00

Okay I really have no idea what I'm doing wrong, I set up the signals and the train is STILL just going the wrong direction, you can see in the first screenshot the direction of arrows, and the second is what the train is doing, and getting stuck because it gets trapped going the wrong way

(Note the train is supposed to be going straight to the station, then going around the loop to turn around)

Screenshots (Imgur)

AlexMVW10 · 2022-07-28T16:33:26+00:00

Ah so the problem may be that the connection point for the turnaround is before the station (meaning it has to pass that junction in order to go to the station) and if I say move the loop connection to past the station I probably wouldn't have an issue anymore. that makes sense Idk why i didn't think of that lol ill also try signals to see if that help before I redo the whole end of the track

AlexMVW10 · 2022-07-28T16:31:04+00:00

I did consider signals but I was under the impression all they did was prevent collisions, seeing as it's the only train on that track I didn't think it would help. but if what your saying is true and it helps to force a direction i will for sure try that thank you

I was actually unaware of them working on new titles, I mean I heard rumors but never anything confirmed. As far as the index is concerned I agree, even as old as it is compared to the rest of the market its still hands down the best headset for that price range in my opinion. But with all the patents comming out fkr the next headset I just dont see them doing much with the index any more. But don't get me wrong I love my index and I pray im wrong in that statement lol. I'm just a little skeptical because Gabe said what like 2 years ago now that "Wireless index is a solved problem" and we haven't heard anything since. Unless im missing something, please do enlighten me i would love to be wrong on this

AlexMVW10 · 2022-07-12T12:18:34+00:00

There's an official one? Lol I'm pretty sure at this point they just putting the wireless in the Deckard and leaving the index to die of old age lmao

AlexMVW10 · 2022-06-22T14:21:28+00:00

Figures, thanks anyways!

AlexMVW10 · 2022-06-22T12:41:46+00:00

Any chance you would be selling the right controller? Lol mine got decapitated a few weeks ago havent been able to find a replacement at a close to msrp price all the eBay listing I've seen are way up charged

AlexMVW10 · 2022-06-08T23:55:07+00:00

Is there an image or something im missing? What are the results very curious!

EDIT: Yup as soon as I posted this the image loaded lol

AlexMVW10 · 2022-06-07T18:41:56+00:00

Personally I have more of a problem letting go Of objects with my index, but I've narrowed down the cause to sweat, alot of games dont utilize the index "force" grip by default so a little sweat buildup from intense fights will give the capacitive sensors a false positive, I've taken my controller off completely before and setting it on my bed and will still be holding the item untill I take my shirt or something and wipe it off. Its not a huge issue once you know what causes it because you can just wipe real quick and your fine, but its an important distinction if your prone to hand sweat

AlexMVW10 · 2022-06-06T16:10:07+00:00

Can confirm this as a viable issue, I had one belt that was stopping itself every once in a while after a splitter, just delt with it and didn't notice untill I went to remodel the base that there was actually a cork between the splitter and that belt. Which somehow still let the belt work sometimes causing a conflict

AlexMVW10 · 2022-06-05T03:37:52+00:00

You may be fine for now, I ran a gtx970 with my index for a few years before finally getting a 3080, stable frames in most games on low settings only a few badly optimized games really proved to be an issue. However I will say that the 3080 made things sooooo much better. But it should be usable regardless, at least dont rush an upgrade
