Barcode

Hi all,

Has anyone got any ideas about where to get some C code to read a barcode?

Ive got a pen but dont know what to plug it to.

  • Does the data sheet mention if the pen has a schmitt-trigger input?

    When the the pen sees pure black or white, it is easy to realize that the expected output should be a zero or a one. But if the bars have fuzzy edges, the reader will have a hard time to decide where/when to switch between a zero and a one. If the reader doesn't have a hysterese, it may emit a large number of transitions when seeing these fuzzy edges.
