USB barcode hook

[hugopontesmiranda]

I think you can help me, do you know how can i hook the usb barcode scanner?
my scanner acts like a keyboard but i dont want that
i want a low level scanner.
So everytime the barcode reads it redirects to index.html?id=BARCODE_READED

hope you can help me.

You should be able to use the same events and then just do a redirect.

$(function(){
	$(document).pos();
	$(document).on('scan.pos.barcode', function(event){
		//access `event.code` - barcode data
                window.location.href = '/index.html?id=' + encodeURIComponent(event.code)
	});
});

This library is designed to work with scanners that "act like a keyboard". It will not work in any other context. Assuming you are using this library the above code should help you achieve your result.

I will try it today. but the problem is that it has to block the barcode from writing in other places

the barcode will only work as a redirect device
