Square Point of Sale now supports CAS PD-2 scale

[Seamus]

We’re happy to announce that you can now connect the CAS PD2 scale to Square Point of Sale on Square Stand for iPad (2021, 2020, 2019), iPad Air (2019), and iPad Pro 10.5. Connect this scale to your device via USB to get weight readings automatically and checkout your customers faster. 

To connect your scale correctly, you must use an FTDI to USB serial cable, a null modem adapter/null modem cable, and you must be running the latest version of the Square Point of Sale app on your iPad. Please ensure that you have correctly set up items to sell by weight.

To connect CAS scale to your device:

1. You will need a null modem adapter/null modem cable and an FTDI to USB serial cable to connect the scale to your device. The 9-pin RS-232 male side of the FTDI cable plugs into the female end of the null modem adapter/null modem cable, the male end of the null modem adapter/null modem cable plugs into the port on your scale, and the USB-A male side plugs into a hub for your device.
   
   
2. To check the connection, open the Square Point of Sale app and tap the three horizontal lines on the navigation bar.
   
   
3. Tap Settings > Hardware > Scales.
   
   
4. The connected scale should appear as USB Scale in that menu. If you do not see the scale name appear under Settings, please check the connection between your scale and relevant cables, or accessories. 

To disconnect either scale, simply disconnect the cable. Keep in mind, you can only pair one USB scale with your device at a time. 

If you have any questions about using this scale please reply here to let us know!
