I really need help on implementing Motorola MC9090-G into our software application. This is my first time to work on this project so I don't know where to start. Any help would really be appreciated.
I already downloaded the EMDK for the barcode scanner (.net v2.4). What I'm trying to accomplish now is just to connect the MC9090-G to my simple test application which only have a textbox in it. Scan a barcode, Display the scanned barcode in the textbox and that's it! I'm just asking is someone could give me a step by step process on how I could do this? Most of the help that I'm getting from the internet is deploying an application in the scanner which I don't want to do for now. I believe that doing this would be a great stepping stone for me! so thanks in advance! :))
Solução
Have you looked at Motorola's sample applications? I found the sample applications included with the EMDK very instructive when learning this myself. They have some very basic samples that make it pretty obvious the handful of lines of code that are needed to access the barcode scanner hardware.
Outras dicas
Welcome to the most frustrating scanner I have ever played with.
(Give me a dumb scanner that acts like an HID Keyboard any day!)
I wrote a small App that includes a Text Box, List Box, and a button or two.
Basically, the Scanner Wedge will place the scanned data into what ever has focus.
One of the problems I had was knowing when the scanner data was completer. So, I added a timer.
The next problem, and one that I have found no easy solution to is getting the data off the scanner and into a real computer, whether Linux of Windows based.
Windows Mobile Device Center and Active Sync require too much operator interaction.
The best I've come up with is to open a Hyper Terminal Window. But, it's all a kludge.
So, far I've had no luck using Blue Tooth either. My form code is below. Hope it helps. This is a modification to one of their Samples. I am using EMDK 2.8
