Chute Mode and Connecting Equipment

Breedr's Chute Mode connects with most Tru-Test weigh heads and EID readers

Use your EID readers to easily find animal records and update them straight from your mobile device in Chute Mode.

 

If you do not have compatible equipment, you can use the search bar to look for animal IDs. 

iPhone/iOS devices and Android devices differ slightly in how they connect to the Breedr app, select your equipment and follow the guides below.

Some devices are paired to the device under Bluetooth settings, and some connect directly to the Breedr app. See the list below for an overview of how your device connects.

1. Turn your device on. 

2. Navigate to Settings, Bluetooth, and Search for Devices

3. In the Bluetooth settings on your iOS device, choose the stick reader you wish to connect. 




4. Once they are connected, go to the Breedr app. 

5. Select the Bluetooth icon at the top right corner. 

6. Tap the Bluetooth device you want to connect with. When the Bluetooth icon turns green, this indicates they have connected successfully. 





Return the stick reader to 'Scan' mode, and choose Quick Scan, Quick Weigh, or Chute Setup to get started scanning.
