Barcode

Nezir,

Both Andy and Per are right to warn you about this!

When I did this, 2D barcode technology was cutting edge and development environments were far less sophisticated than the likes of Keil products.

The fact that it was done in 100% assembler with those older tools is not the reason it took so long to develop (about 6-9 man months per decode). The problem was that to do it well requires considerable understanding of a lot of intangibles; and to achieve that understanding requires time.

Ok - You might be able to find some documents on the Internet that can guide you; but it will take some considerable time.

I don't know where Erik got his figure from for a cost; maybe simply TimeTakenToDevelop*CostPerDay. I would say that instead of being greedy, he is possibly being quite generous!

So you have choices:

1 - Consider his offer
2 - Consider spending a long time doing it yourself
3 - Consider following another path

Whoops,

I should have referred to 1D barcodes being the cutting edge at the time.
