Rajesh kumar writes: > > How can i read a barcode using a C program. > > I can able to read barcode manually in a gedit. i Need to create a c > program which reads the barcode device and write the data to a text file. > > How this can be done. Input devices like keyboard, mice, etc. go through the input subsystem. And the USB barcode reader in this case seems to act like a keyboard, and hence also goes through the input subsystem. Each of these input devices has a device file named /dev/input/eventN. When the device file is read, key events are reported. See http://www.thelinuxdaily.com/2010/05/grab-raw-keyboard-input-from-event-device-node-devinputevent/ for an example. You will have to identify which /dev/input/eventN corresponds to your barcode reader. This can be obtained from sysfs. Alternatively, there are aliases to these device files, that make it more obvious. The aliases are present in /dev/input/by-id/ Regards, Vijay -- P: http://www.bravegnu.org/ C: http://www.zilogic.com/ ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Re: [Ilugc] Request for Volunteers - Preparing LAB Manual for Anna University Syllabus
Shrinivasan T writes: > We can choose any topic, create documentations on introduction, create > exercises and verify them. > > Please update here, if you wish to contribute for the LAB Manual. I would like contribute to this. I can provide help in the areas of Python and GUI Programming. I have been doing GNU/Linux training for quite sometime and I think I can provide some useful inputs when it comes to doing a GNU/Linux lab. The syllabus also seems to have some issues, but I think it can been fixed up with a little bit or re-ordering and trimming. A few suggestions for the lab manual: * There seems to be too many languages: Python, Perl, PHP, Gambas ... I would suggest that one language be used through-out the lab exercises, and the others be just touched upon. * One of the problems with labs involving installation of kernel and software packages, is that the students have to be given root access. And there will be lot of maintenance overhead for restoring the system back to a sane state. This can be avoided by installing the packages within a VM. Within the VMs the students get complete root access, and even if things screw up, the VM's harddisk image can be restored from backup. * The better order would probably be: (I have choosen Python as the primary language, here. But other combinations are also imaginable.) - Running Python - GUI Programming (using Python) - Version control systems ... - Virtualisation - Setting up the complete network ... (using a virtual network formed by multiple VMs) - Installing various software pacakges (within VM) - Compiling from source (within VM) - Introduction to package management (within VM) - Writing user space drivers (using Python) - Kernel configuration, compilation and installation (within VM) - Running PHP - Running Perl Regards, Vijay ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
