Can't register any Contour Next Link 2.4

[KlausStoertebeker]

I'm using 600SeriesAndroidUploader for the first time and started with version 0.5.1 from the beginning. Because there is NO description how to register my Contour Next Link 2.4 (there is a description in https://nightscout.gitbooks.io/user_guide/content/de/grundlagen/640g/640gAndroidUploader.html. But this seems to be for an older version with a complete different user interface) I did "try and error". After getting my Contour Next Link 2.4 recognized by 600SeriesAndroidUploader ("Contour Next Link plugged in."; by the way: I also got in touch with issue #156 "USB permission will not persist when requested from the app" :-( ) I selected the menu entry "Registered devices" to register my Contour Next Link 2.4. As expected, the list was empty ("No registered Contour Next Link devices"). And I don't know how to realize the information how to register my Contour Next Link 2.4: "To register a Contour Next Link you must first plug it in, and get a reading from the pump.") My Contour Next Link 2.4 is plugged in and recognized by 600SeriesAndroidUploader, but how do I get a reading from the pump? If I select the menu entry "Read data now", I get the message "Requesting poll now..." but nothing happens. So: How do I register my Contour Next Link 2.4?

Registering is not something you have to do specifically and you should just be able to plug the CNL in and get a reading. It will not show on the registered devices list until the first successful glucose value is retrieved from the pump.

Check the pairing between the CNL and the Pump, ie can you get a BG on the CNL and auto sent it to the pump.

[volkerrichert]

Maybe we need to update the Nightscout doc to match the current version of the uploader. Did anybody know how that can be done? Via PR, i think?

I can translate it into German, of course. But I't able to write a good documentation.

[volkerrichert]

Ah, ok. There is only a german version. :-(

[KlausStoertebeker]

@Pogman Pairing between CNL ans 640G is ok. I use the CNL at least three times a day for sensor calibration. How long should it take normally to get the first reading with an unregistered CNL?

[KlausStoertebeker]

Sorry - pressed the wrong button...

[Pogman]

@KlausStoertebeker it should be fast like within 30 seconds from first use as long as there is a SGV available on the pump. You can try clearing the app data and turning off/on (not restart) the phone. If your still having an issue try another OTG cable. Based on comments on FB this phone should work for you.

[Pogman]

@volkerrichert yeah docs are getting out of date and could do with work - at least to remove any of the confusing old references for setting up.

There are various fixes for lots of the minor things that can catch new users out in the next version.

@Pogman : FACK

Assigned to myself for documentation refresh.

Responding specifically about the documentation angle: I can't find anything at the URL given above (or https://legacy.gitbook.com/book/nightscout/user_guide/details), but I guess it was referring to an earlier version of the 600SeriesAndroidUploader wiki.

The original FAQ instructions about registering via Carelink were 'retired' to a sub-page in April 2017. https://github.com/pazaan/600SeriesAndroidUploader/wiki/FAQ-for-releases-before-v0.4.0

I plan to use my android mobile to communicate with Medtronic 630G pump via CNL 2.4 BG meter. Basically i will decide on how much bolus i need to set and send Remote bolus command. But i am uaable to find the payload parameters for this command. I only got command value as 0x0100. Please let me know the doc which specifies parameters and format

[Pogman]

@jothi1971 remote bolus commands can not be sent with comms through the usb interface to the CNL as they are blocked.

[jothi1971]

Hi Thanks for the reply. Does this mean we can not do Looping using Medtronic 630G Pump and CNL? Is there any other way we can Loop with Medtronic 630G pump? Best Regards jothi

No know solution for using 600 Series pumps for looping.
