hi
I am trying to download barcodes stored in scanner cs 1504 which is connected to my serial port .In it i can detect a device connected to the com port but cannot communicate with it . I am using the javax.comm api
Has any one worked on it .. any help will be appreciated ..
Thanks
I really doubt weather you can communicate to any physical device directly. I mean you need some drivers or such stuff to connect to the device. Take a printer for Example, if u dont install the driver for the printer n u try printing u print some junk. if u print after installing the driver. you print what u planned to.
So u need to have a driver or such stuff to be able to connect to the device. after u connect u need to call the driver to do the job from ur application.
So i feel u need to do a lot of coding in languages like C, C++ that can talk to the drivers and some sort of wrappers in java so that ur app speaks to the C, C++ code.
