Adding support for GS1 Gen2 untraceable command #31

Hi there,

I am looking to add support for some Gen2 commands like the untraceable command. I am not too experienced with C, so I am a bit lost. I hope you can point me in the right direction.

For starters, I am a bit confused whether the Sparkfun Library uses the Mercury API? From the M6E documentation: "ThingMagic does not support bypassing the MercuryAPI to send commands to the ThingMagic Nano module directly, but some information about this interface is useful when troubleshooting and debugging applications which interface with the MercuryAPI."

Again, not an expert, but it looks like you are sending opcodes directly to the M6E device? Or are you using the Mercury API SDK under the hood, having compiled something from that?

Do you happen to know where I could find more documentation around the opcodes M6E supports? So far, I have been looking at the Mercury API SDK code snippets to see if I can learn something from that. Not very quick I suppose.

Vague questions I suppose, but any pointer in the right direction could help me :-)

Thanks and best, Lex
