Python Forum

Hello,

I have a handheld Bluetooth Barcode Scanner that I would like to use with my python program (An inventory system).
I would like to be able to scan 1D barcodes and return the barcode number, so I can use it in my inventory program to search for a part, check it out, or return it.

My inventory program already has a database where all the items and their barcode numbers are stored, and I'm just wondering how I would get started on implementing the barcode scanner into my program.

I've searched online, but all I find is tutorials using OpenCv from either a webcam or jpeg images of barcodes.

Any ideas on how to get started?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Look here maybe

If you get it working, I'd like to know!

Before trying to use it with Python, try to use it with the OS alone. Can you scan barcodes and get the result in a text editor for example?
