We are looking at the possibility of using this bluetooth device to transmit scale data from a fork truck to Ignition. Is this possible? If so, how would I go about setting this up? Assume newest version of Ignition. > **[ACM360 Bluetooth Adaptor](https://www.bradysystems.com/shop/acm360-bluetooth-adaptor/)** > > The new METTLER TOLEDO ACM360 Bluetooth adaptor allows you to connect peripherals such as printers or other Bluetooth 4.x devices to any METTLER terminal. ---

It's bluetooth to RS232, so if you have the capability to use a hardware serial port with your ignition Im sure you can use it with some scripts or the Serial Driver. ---

For serial support in a client device, you'll need to use Vision, not Perspective. ---

Hi Phil, For this site we are already using Vision, so I am glad to hear it. So we would build a window to monitor the serial data coming in with a client script that can access the bluetooth driver of the PC, then parse and log the data. So everything can be done inside Ignition, do I have that right? ---

> [@AJBerera](#): > > with a client script that can access the bluetooth driver of the PC Ignition doesn't know anything about bluetooth and can't access it (bar writing a custom module with a bluetooth native library). This is all predicated on the device appearing as a plain old serial port on whatever computer you want to access it on - and whatever mechanism/driver makes that happen is not Ignition. Once it's appearing as a serial port you can presumably use the Ignition serial scripting functions to access it. ---

Thanks Kevin, As I understand they have a fork truck with a scale on it and want to monitor that serial data through their Ignition gateway. They have good wifi, maybe there is a better device to handle this? What about something like this?

Does the fork truck have a Vision UI mounted on it? If so, serial in Vision will be easiest.
