Most devices are plug-and-play with a computer that's running the Tulip Player, and other devices plug into a Tulip Edge Device to start using them immediately. OS Compatibility Plug-and-play devices work natively with the following operating systems: - Mac - Windows - Linux Here is a list of some of the plug-and-play devices supported by Tulip. If you want to see the full list, check out our [Device Library](https://library.tulip.co/search?section=Devices). ## Barcode Scanners Scan barcodes and QR codes in Tulip via the built-in camera on your device. [Read this article for more details.](https://support.tulip.co/docs/how-to-scan-barcodes-and-qr-codes-via-your-devices-camera) Most barcode scanners are plug-and-play on the Tulip Player or with Edge Devices. Here are some popular barcode scanners that we support out of the box: - [Honeywell 3800G](https://smile.amazon.com/Honeywell-3800G-Handheld-Barcode-Scanner/dp/B00MMXE2XE?_encoding=UTF8&%2AVersion%2A=1&%2Aentries%2A=0) - [Honeywell 1900gsr-2usb](https://smile.amazon.com/Honeywell-1900gsr-2usb-Usb-Kit-Straight/dp/B004JBFNLC?_encoding=UTF8&me=&ref_=olp_product_details) - [Honeywell 7580G-2](http://www.barcodegiant.com/honeywell/part-7580g-2.htm?aw&adtype=pla&gclid=CKeGssity80CFZdZhgodlxkI6A) - [Symcode MJ-4000 Wireless](https://smile.amazon.com/Wireless-Barcode-Scanner-Transfer-Distance/dp/B06XQ2HP8T/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1496347691&sr=1-1&keywords=2D+2.4G+Wireless+Barcode%E2%80%A6) - [Datalogic QuickScan Lite QW2011](https://smile.amazon.com/Datalogic-QuickScan-QW2100-linear-QW2120-BKK1S/dp/B00G2I0RUW/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1506541201&sr=1-1&keywords=datalogic+quickscan+lite+QW2100) - [Wasp WDI4600 2D](https://smile.amazon.com/Datalogic-QuickScan-QW2100-linear-QW2120-BKK1S/dp/B00G2I0RUW/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1506541201&sr=1-1&keywords=datalogic+quickscan+lite+QW2100) In many other cases, however, Tulip will be able to work with your barcode scanner after a few configuration steps in either the Tulip Edge Device or the Tulip Player. To work with Tulip, the barcode scanner must be configured to emulate a keyboard with a CR suffix. This means that when you plug the barcode into your computer, your computer should recognize it as a keyboard, and when you scan a barcode, the barcode scanner should type out the barcode **followed by a line break**. For example, Honeywell barcode readers should be configured according to the user manual, by scanning the "Laptop Direct Connect with CR Suffix" mode. The process to configure each Barcode Scanner varies. In order to obtain the configuration specifications, you should investigate the device's User Manual. [Here's how to set up your barcode scanner with Tulip](https://support.tulip.co/docs/how-to-set-up-a-barcode-scanner) if it is not included in the Device Library. If your barcode scanner supports QR codes, then Tulip will also be able to store those QR code values. ## Foot Pedals Tulip supports the [iKKEGOL USB Single Foot Switch](https://smile.amazon.com/iKKEGOL-Control-Customized-Computer-Keyboard/dp/B01NAL3DV6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1506543484&sr=8-1&keywords=fs2016_usb). It is plug-and-play on the Tulip Player or with Edge Devices. ## RFID Readers Tulip-supported RFID readers are plug-and-play on the Tulip Player or with Edge Devices. Operators can use RFID readers to log into Tulip. Just connect the RFID reader to a Tulip Edge Device or a Windows computer running the Tulip Player, and when an operator scans their RFID badge, they'll be logged into that [Tulip station](https://support.tulip.co/docs/managing-stations-and-station-groups). You can match an RFID Badge ID with the User on the [users page](https://support.tulip.co/docs/using-the-rfid-driver). RFID readers can also be used for outputting as a standard reader. This is not the default use in some cases, so you will need to contact [support@tulip.co](mailto:support@tulip.co) in order to turn on this functionality. Once done, the RFID reader will be able to be selected as a device in App Editor Triggers, like below. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/7c6ff534-cad3-4fc8-9583-912c4016362f/Images/Documentation/List%20of%20Plug%20And%20Play%20Devices%20That%20Work%20With%20Tulip_180717533.png) For all Tulip Instances created after V177, the default state is to use RFID devices in triggers. **Note that this change will turn off the scan-in option.** The following RFID readers are supported: - [RF IDeas pcProx Plus RDR-80581AKU](https://www.barcodesinc.com/rf-ideas/part-rdr-80581aku.htm) (recommended) - [RF IDeas pcProx RDR-6081AKU](https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16849132003) If you are also purchasing RFID badges (rather than using existing badges your organization already has), we recommend [Bosch Security Video HID Prox Cards D8236](https://smile.amazon.com/BOSCH-SECURITY-VIDEO-D8236-10-Security/dp/B00DGHYIA2?_encoding=UTF8&%2AVersion%2A=1&%2Aentries%2A=0). These badges work out-of-the-box with the supported RFID readers and require no configuration of the reader or the badges. If you're using badges your organization already has, you may need to configure the RFID reader to correctly scan your organization's RFID badges. You should test out scanning your organization's RFID badges using the RFID readers before using the RFID reader with Tulip. You can test the RFID scanner by plugging it into your computer – your computer will recognize it as a keyboard and the RFID scanner will type out the badge IDs as you scan badges. ## Digital Calipers Tulip-supported digital calipers are plug-and-play on the Tulip Player or with Edge Devices. Tulip supports the following digital calipers: - [Insize Calipers that support the Data Output Cable](http://www.insize.com/products/tools/pdf/cable/7302.pdf) - [Mitutoyo Calipers that support the SPC protocol](https://www.greatgages.com/collections/digital-calipers-with-spc-output) ## Temperature and Humidity Sensor Tulip supports the [Lascar EL-USB-RT Temperature Humidity Sensor](https://smile.amazon.com/Lascar-EL-USB-RT-Temperature-Humidity-Sensor/dp/9792284354?_encoding=UTF8&%2AVersion%2A=1&%2Aentries%2A=0). It is plug-and-play on the Tulip Player or with Edge Devices. If you'd like to integrate with a device that's not listed on our [devices page](https://library.tulip.co/search?section=Devices), let us know and we can help you with configuration and integration services for a wide range of additional devices. **Tulip Player** **Tulip Player** is the Windows/Mac executable program where users can run Tulip apps. Tulip player allows you to create a more seamless user experience by removing the need for a web browser and allows increased IT controls. **Edge Device** **Edge Devices** are any hardware intended to connect physical things to the cloud. This can include entirely mechanical devices, older machines without network functionality, PLCs, and more. Tulip sells the **Edge IO** and **Edge MC** that interface directly into **Triggers** in a breeze, but Tulip can also support other Edge Devices. **App Editor** The web interface used for building applications. Where you design a user interface, add logic, and connect your applications to **Tables**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/7c6ff534-cad3-4fc8-9583-912c4016362f/Images/Documentation/Screen%20Shot%202022-09-13%20at%207.50.23%20AM.png) **Trigger** **Triggers** are groups of logic that are tied to an app event, such as step open, timer, widget interaction, etc. App builders can add triggers to **widgets**, **machines**, **devices**, **apps**, and **steps**. **Triggers** can contain **actions**, **transitions**, and **conditions**. **Tulip Instance** A Tulip customer account. Your instance can be found at https://[your-instance].tulip.co When *your instance* is referenced, we are just talking about your Tulip account on an organization-level, not user-level.
