Scanner HW for stock_barcodes (OCA/stock-logistics-barcode)
Hi I have been playing with this great stock_barcodes
module on runboat:
https://github.com/OCA/stock-logistics-barcode/tree/15.0/stock_barcodes
Been testing barcode input with xdotool on Linux; works
fine for simple tests.
(More info about it in the "bar code scanner simulator" discussion
from March 2020 in this mailing list.)
My question to people using this module - do you have specific scanner hardware you would recommend?
I notice the module has a dependency on barcodes from
Odoo Community, which implements scanning interface here.
Odoo itself recommends hardware here
and here,
but I'm not sure if that applies to Odoo Community or Enterprise
only.
Our OCA module also seems to implement such a scanning interface
here,
and without importing elements from that barcodes module
(from what I can see on a cursory glance)?
Hence my question - should I follow Odoo's scanner HW
recommendation, or is our interface slightly different?
Thanks for your input

It's basically the same, as the JS recognizing that a keyboard input is a barcode reading is the same (and it's based on the times, assuming that you are not able to type on that speed).Any HW reader you buy, you will have to check for some config about the speed rate, barcode termination (avoiding extra line feeds and so on), and other tweaks, but mostly every device out there may serve.Regards.
