The remaining gap to a single service is the DYMO M10 postal scale (USB HID
0922:8003/8004, ~130 lines of the Node daemon) -- everything else the extension
calls is already served. Scale was not plugged in today, so note that any port
written before it is connected is untested.

Also records the wanted Logitech C920 + cutting-mat dimension capture, and what
still works with the Urovo unplugged (previews, label layout, Dymo, Chafon).

pricegod-urovo-daemon

The Windows counterpart to the Mac rfid-daemon. Instead of a Chafon gun writing a loose chip while a Dymo prints a separate sticker, this drives the Urovo D812R+ (RFID) to print the label AND encode the UHF chip in one pass on the composite (paper+chip) rolls.

It listens on http://localhost:7790/ with CORS *, so it's a drop-in for the PriceGod extension's existing daemon.js client — same port, same JSON shape.

Run it

Double-click start-daemon.cmd (leave the window open while you work). That's it — no Node, no .NET SDK, no gitea clone. It's a self-contained .exe.

To rebuild after editing daemon.cs: double-click build.cmd.

What's inside

  • daemon.cs — the service (C#, .NET Framework 4.x).
  • pricegod-urovo-daemon.exe — the compiled daemon.
  • GTSPL_SDK.dll, GTSPL_SDK_C.dll, zlib.net.dll — the Gainscha/Urovo print SDK (must sit beside the .exe). Copied from the vendor Windows SDK.

The print/encode sequence is a straight port of the proven gtcheck.cs rfidgo path: SET RIBBON OFF → continuous geometry (GAP 0, RFID rolls blind the optical gap sensor) → writeUHF → draw text + QR → printlabel → read-back verify.

Routes

method path body returns
GET /status {ok, ready, status, statusText, printer}
POST /print-encode {sku, releaseId, artist?, title?, price?, condition?, w?, h?, gap?} {ok, sku, releaseId, epc, verified, status}
POST /write-tag alias of /print-encode (the daemon.js name) same
GET /read-tag {ok, epc, sku, releaseId, recognized}
POST /calibrate RFID auto-calibration
POST /recover ribbon-off + one feed to clear a fault

Quick test (PowerShell):

Invoke-RestMethod http://localhost:7790/status

SKU ↔ EPC scheme (⚠ verify)

The 96-bit EPC (12 bytes) is packed as: 6 bytes 14-digit timestamp SKU · 4 bytes release_id · 2 bytes 0xEC01 marker. This lives in the Epc class in daemon.cs and is the only thing that needs to change if it must match a different (Mac/Chafon) layout — nothing else depends on the byte order. Confirm by reading an existing tag: put a Chafon-written record at the antenna and GET /read-tag.

Notes / open items

  • Default label geometry is 65×37 mm, continuous (GAP 0). Adjust to your actual RFID roll via the w/h/gap fields, or change the DEF_* constants.
  • The label layout (text lines + QR) is functional, not yet pixel-matched to the 51×19 Dymo design in the extension's labels.js.
  • The Chafon gun is still needed for reading a loose tag off a shelf — the Urovo can only read/write a tag physically inside the printer.
