What is Arcb?
Making your life easier
We believe that creating a contactless application should be easy. Focus on your business logic rather than the details. Get your application running on all devices, on all platforms.
Write more efficient code
Arcb handles the tricky details for you
With Arcb
Arcb::Core::SmartPointer reader = Arcb::Reader::Reader::Create();
if(reader->Open("COM1")) {
if(reader->Open("COM1")) {
TagInfo tag;
reader->SelectTag(tag);
//... process tag ... //
}
reader->SelectTag(tag);
//... process tag ... //
