How It Works Without Programming
What you need
- Scale or balance with an RS-232 interface
- BlueSnap M6A Wireless RS232 adapter*
- One of the following:
- A) SerialMagic Keys for FAST firmware
- B) BlueSnap HID firmware option**
- C) App like iScanBrowser or 3rd party app with BlueSnap M6A support built-in.
*Depending on scale, you may need RS-232 cable or gender/null-modem adapter. Scales like the Ohaus Ranger 3000 have RS232 port DB9 Female connector the BlueSnap plugs directly into.
**Depending on your scale model, you might be able to use the optional BlueSnap HID firmware model to post data without software. Some scales post data constantly, on this type of scale HID connection won’t work, you need SerialMagic Keys to post data in a controlled manner.
Scales you find on this page have RS-232 serial port support and customers report them working with BlueSnap M6A wireless dongle. Use SerialMagic Keys iOS, Android, macOS, Windows to post data to any app that can be typed into. With iScanBrowser, and Mobile Grid, you collect and process data from a scale into any native, web, or hybrid app. Also note, your 3rd party apps that implement serialio.com Serial Device Manager (SDM) also work with BlueSnap.
Use with other apps like Redzone.

Post Weight Without Touching Your Scale
There are three basic reasons to post scale weight to your app without touching your scale.
1 – Your scale has continuous output and it would flood you with weights constantly. Use SerialMagic Keys sample key to get the current scale weight and post this only.
2 – Scale is inaccessible to you, so you can’t press the print/send weight key. See this example using Ohaus Defender 3000.
3 – Convenience – use SerialMagic Keys or other app to trigger getting the weight right from your mobile device.
Post weight into commonly used applications:
- Microsoft Excel
- Google Sheets
- FileMaker Go
- Web forms
- ERP and inventory applications
- Shipping software
- Laboratory or production applications
- All apps that take keystrokes
