Anyone here that have worked with Intel’s MCA SDK?
Looking for sample code for grabbing input from the barcode scanner on a Motion F5 tablet.

haven’t, but it’s going to be a fun ride (:
The IntelHealthCareLib_TLB is 4529 lines – so a little guidance might go a long way 🙂
ouch, they have sample code right?
make sure you test the scanner well, we had issues with motorola scanner in the past, a bug in firmware since 2007 wasn’t solved even 5 years later…
I am still trying to find something useful – but since the MCA is obsoleted, it’s not very easy.
happy hunting (:
We normally use Intermec, but need a scan capable tablet as well. Personally, I’d opt for a BT connected scanner for the tablet, but the operator would have to be three-handed 😛
use the tablet camera as a scanner? (:
Well, the scanner actually is supposedly pretty capable with regards to delivering sub-codes – so using that would definitively be preferable, but yeah – video could actually work, albeit slower, and a lot more battery consuming.
well, sometimes you have to go with what’s fastest to deliver, maybe this is one of those times…
