The Android app that is going to be released soon will work only with SCATT MX-W2, since this is the only SCATT model with a built-in Wi-Fi module. SCATT Basic or pretty much any other SCATT apart from MX-W2 won't be compatible.

Would you maybe design a USB/Wi-Fi interface such that all sensor models (or at least camera based, including the Basic as asked by @Kumkuat46) would be compatible with the upcoming Android app or more generally smartphone apps? Or USB/Bluetooth? I guess there might be a bunch of open-source libraries in various programming languages as well as common integrated circuits to handle that...

Приложение для Android, которое будет выпущено в ближайшее время, будет работать только с SCATT MX-W2, поскольку это единственная модель SCATT со встроенным модулем Wi-Fi. SCATT Basic или практически любой другой SCATT, кроме MX-W2, несовместим.

Таки, скорее всего начало осени? Очень ждём!!

Hello David,

We've been internally discussing things regarding cable compatibility since early Spring
Sorry for a delayed answer, but we had to arrive at a definitive answer to this question before communicating anything publicly

So after some hardware tests, we've conluded that:
*The Micro USB us not that reliable
*This will work only with a fraction of phones/tablets on the market (barely 1/3)
*The vast majority of phones won't have enough power to support a sustainable cable connection
*Even a dock station and a bunch of adapters can make the setup work only in a fraction of cases
*Bluetooth is not an option either

Given all the stuff outlined above, we simply can't release such an imperfect product out there
Hope for your understanding :)

Hello Peter,
Sorry not to have been clear enough: what I had in mind was a kind of hardware bridge, an additional small component wired to older sensors by their USB interface, that would transmit the data as a WiFi access point to the software whether on PC or smartphone, exactly like the MX-W2 does. Maybe so small and light that it could also be attached to the gun, although not necessarily along the barrel. And most probably with additional software interface on the terminal side to reorganize data format.
So nothing that involves hardware USB on the terminal side.

Since Scatt BASIC and MX-02 also use a camera sensor and I suppose similar data formats as the MX-W2 that would make sense, wouldn't it?

Alright, but what is going to power a wired sensor (Basic/MX-02) in this case?
These models have no built-in battery to sustain the device while the USB port is occupied with something else

I see... Then that would have to be this additional hardware piece which you would recharge like the MX-W2. That's making it quite an additional product. But are all BASIC / MX-02 users going to pay the price of the MX-W2 just to use the Android software?

I get what you are saying, Sir! We'll continue looking into possible options
If the team comes up with a solution that makes sense in terms of user experience, I'm sure everyone is going to know right away, as we would start marketing right away. However, if we don't announce anything, then the optimal solution doesn't exist :(

We'll see indeed. Really eager to see what's coming up. Didn't you mention September in some forum message? That's pretty soon now :p

Добрый день,

такого кабеля нет
но с рядовым планшетом и MX-W2 моделью он и не требуется, так как все планшеты оснащены WiFi модулем

Пётр, ещё нам с дочкой любопытно - когда выйдет версия на андроид, при пользовании можно подключить два девайса? К примеру ей планшетник на рубеже, а я с телефона метрах в пяти от неё? Она у себя перед собой смотрит, а я в свой смартфон всё вижу. Или подключение только одно?

В синем режиме точно нет, там прямое соединение между максимум двумя устройствами
Через роутер (зеленый режим) - затрудняюсь ответить на данном этапе, но большой шанс, что тоже нет
