Ok,

I sent you a PM with the same UID that worked in my printer. If you can easily try this then let me know if it works.

So after several PM's, I have it working.  Something wrong in the data file somewhere.

Bozo... sent me the data back, from one that I was using.   I then changed the UId, PW and Pack to a brand new one and I am up and running.

Thank you Bozotclown1970 for the rescue.

EDIT:
For anyone else that would like the solution, here is the file that got me running.  Runs as is ( unless you happened to already use this UID. 
After that, just update the UID, Password and PACK to a new on from the list.

I sent you a PM with the same UID that worked in my printer. If you can easily try this then let me know if it works.

I can do a brand new on now and resend you the data if you like

1. What is printer type?

2. What is firmware version?

3. Has the UID been used in printer before?

Today, after about 5 days of printing bliss with my EMUtag, I now get "Spool Not Recognized"  error.  I was printing fine, and then on the next job, fail. 
So I thought it might be batteries, since I have been printing about 14 hours on this set, so I changed them.  Using my phone, I reprogrammed the tag fine, but still get the Spool Error.

Ummmmm.  Ok maybe the DaVinci is smart enough to throw this error if the count ( i.e. remaining length on the spool ) does not match the internal data.  It would be mismatched because I did not have the latest count saved after the last print.  So I used a new UID, Password and Pack.  Programmed the data on the EMUtag and,......  still no joy.

So I took a working file and programmed with that and again, Spool Error.

Ok, Whats going on here.  I can read and write the data on the EMUtag, It looks valid, but DaVinci complains.

I can write the file, read it back and compare ok.   
It looks like the EMUtag can no longer emulate.   

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?  And how to fix.

I will be starting printing withdrawal pains by the morning.  Please help.

PM me all of the data on your EMU Tag after you refreshed the data on it and I will take a look.

Ok, since you re flashed the tag. It has no information in it. No password or pack code, nothing. Is a phone the only device you have for updating this? If yes, then you will now have some typing ahead of you before you can use it.

To be honest, I don't even have a phone with NFC, so I have to borrow my colleague's one ;-)
When I got the emutag in the first place, I wrote the standard text file onto it which I found in one of these threads here.
Is something more required after flashing it? I am a bit annoyed that the phone does not detect the tag at all....

Let's switch over to PM. I think I may be able to help you.

Hi all,
I bought an emutag and it worked like a charm until one day one of the batteries fell out. Since putting it back in, the device has not been readable anymore.
I replaced the batteries with brand new ones but to no avail.
As a last resort I flashed it via an Arduino Uno as described in this thread. It seems to have worked because all steps finished without any error message, but still it is not recognized.

Any idea, how to check what is going on here or how to revive this neat little thing?!

You could show me your RFID reader, to look for an equal one for my Emutag. They could all put the ones that use CoolArts Cgrillo ......

Thanks

No problem, I use a Arduino UNO and an Adafruit PN532 Shield. Now I have to say, if you are using the software from eBay to update your EMU then you will need to make some modifications to the PN532. It comes IC2 enabled and the software from eBay is SPI. They both work equally well. I had modded my board but put it back. I bought another board for SPI.

Thanks
