Wireless Barcode-Scanner TEC-IT is proud to publish a new Android app named Wireless Barcode Scanner . It is used as simple and cost-saving alternative to handheld Bluetooth barcode scanners . Scanned bar-codes are sent via Bluetooth to the connected PC Wireless Barcode Scanner scans bar-codes with the built-in camera and transmits the data immediately via Bluetooth™ to your PC or Mac. Linear and 2-D codes are supported. Additional software is not required. The scanned bar codes are available immediately via a virtual serial port (COM or RS232 port) on your computer using standard tools. Features Wireless Barcode Scanner is extremely easy to setup and use . Just pair your computer with your Android and scan bar-codes remotely. That's it. The app detects and decodes common linear and 2D bar-codes fast and reliable . Wireless Barcode Scanner is able to scan bar-codes in single-shot or batch mode . In single-shot mode barcodes are scanned one by one, in batch...

Dealing with a Microvision ROV barcode scanner can be quite tricky. Of course, the device is scanning bar-codes immediately. But the data is sent in a special format and requires a confirmation by the receiver. That's the reason for this blog entry. By default the ROV scanner (in our case a MS2200-BT) buffers all scanned bar codes internally. The receiver (e.g. your PC or smartphone) is required to confirm each received bar code to delete it from the ROV's memory. If such a confirmation is missing the ROV scanner sends the same bar code over and over. The ROV scanner appends a 4 digit serialization number to each scanned bar-code. This serialization number is sent (along with the barcode data) to the receiver. The receiving device is required to acknowledge the bar-code by sending back the serialization number along with an appended ACK character (hex 06) to the ROV scanner. Now let's demonstrate how to configure TEC-IT's software wedge TWedge to work with a Mi...

BluePiano Bluetooth Input Method for Android The input method BluePiano extends Android with Bluetooth data acquisition . This new input method provides a Bluetooth-enabled soft-keyboard . This soft-keyboard captures Bluetooth data and forwards the received data to input fields of arbitrary apps. The data appears as entered by the user (watch the video on YouTube). BluePiano is typically used for barcode scanning with external Bluetooth barcode-scanners or for generic data acquisition tasks (e.g. to capture raw external GPS or medical device data). English, German, French, Russian and Swedish keyboard layouts are available. BluePiano is easy to use and provides you with connectivity feedback in the notification bar. For backup purposes BluePiano is also able to scan barcodes using camera barcode scanners (using the built-in or an external camera scanner app). BluePiano works with all Bluetooth SPP devices (Bluetooth devices supporting the Serial Port Profile, RFCOMM)....

Bluetooth SPP Data Acquisition GetBlue is an Android App which captures data from a data-source ( Bluetooth SPP, TCP and Camera Scanners ) and forwards the collected data to an adjustable data-sink (TCP, HTTP, File, Display, Online Spreadheets provided by Google Docs, GetBlue virtual keyboard). Data collection is done completely in the background. Bluetooth SPP Connection Problems Recently some users reported problems when using Bluetooth SPP (Serial Port Profile) devices with GetBlue: A Bluetooth SPP device can be paired without problems but GetBlue is unable to connect to it. A Possible Solution In order to avoid the connection problems please do the following in EXACTLY the given order : a) Disable all GetBlue functions: Set datasink to "None", do NOT use keyboard output and deactivate the GetBlue keyboard in Android settings (required only if previously enabled). b) Reboot the phone c) Enable Bluetooth d) Pair the Bluetooth device with your handset (Android set...

TEC-IT released a short video on YouTube which demonstrates the use of the Bluetooth Reader GetBlue. You will learn how to configure GetBlue in order to be used as Bluetooth software wedge. The Bluetooth barcode scanner must be paired with your Android handset, then it is adjusted as input device for GetBlue. As data-sink (the target application for the scanned data) the GetBlue Keyboard is selected. Using this configuration  it is possible to inject captured barcode scanner data as virtual user input into each application. See for yourself: GetBlue acts as "middleware" between hardware and apps. Thus, each (legacy) Bluetooth bar code scanner supporting the serial port profile can be used. The video quality is satisfying - but far away from perfect. We will produce a HD video with sound in the near future. In the meantime we are awaiting your video comments! Many thanks! Video: How to use Bluetooth Barcode Scanners with Android
