Game port and barcode reader...
[1/4] from: ronald::free::fr at: 20-Apr-2002 23:08
Hi Rebolers,
I found a barcode reader (shematics to build one for educationnal purpose) that connects
on game port
Can I use/read the game port with REBOL ?
Did somebody try to work (read and write) barcodes with REBOL ?
Any ideas on how I could read data from such a device, excluding
commercial hardware ?
Cheers
Ronald

Barcodes can be just fonts. A bar code reader normally
simulates keyboard input.

I used to write software for barcode printers, depending on the format
delivered by
the reader, you should be able to listen on a com port .

I used (commercial) serial readers (they work fine with REBOL),
and wrote a function to create Code39 barcodes with PDF Maker.
