Barcode reader serial port

[jackberg1]

Hello everyone,

does anyone have a simple code listing or can direct me on how to read barcode reader via serial port.

my guess would be with a serin2 command then writing each incoming byte to an array
then converting each array byte to it's decimal weight eg: serial in: 012345 converted to word decimal: 12345

is this the simplest approach


Thanks for all comments.

a data sheet and/or a representative sample of said bar code reader would eliminate need for guesswork

is this the simplest approach

to do what exactly
