Day 341 of 1000
I have a very cool day job. Right now I am working on application with lots of excellent toys. It includes two Imaging Source 5 mega-pixel cameras (a stunning value at a list price of only $419 which includes an industrial quality machined aluminum housing, strobe output, and trigger input), an Arduino Mega microcontroller, and a Symbol barcode scanner. I am programming it using the QT and OpenCV libraries in C++ with the QT Creator IDE.
The cameras and the Arduino work great. Now I am bringing up the Symbol barcode reader. This is just the kind of project the doctor ordered on a weekend when the kids will be studying for finals. Should be lots of fun–and to think I get paid for this.
Hello could you help me, showing me how did Barcode Scanner to read correctly as Arduino.
Please send an email to felipeserra@hotmail.com
Thank you.

Hello Felipe. Actually, I am not using the Arduino to read barcodes, although I think it would be pretty simple to just receive the serial data stream over the USB port.
