Linescan Barcode Reader/Money Identifier

propn00b

For anyone who is interested:
Does anyone know a good way to make a Barcode Reader/Money Identifier with the TSL1401 Linescan Imaging Sensor Daughterboard.
I want to create a sort of ATM using the actual ATM module and a spinneret as the bank server.
Please Reply!

A little more detail of what you want would be helpful. The TSL1401 may or may not be suitable depending on the complexity of your goals.

For barcode reading, take a look at this thread for some code examples:

I mean having the linescan sensor perpendicular to the barcode and having the barcode to be driven by a moter

For that, you would not need a linescan sensor. Just a single-pixel reflective sensor would be adequate.

As for barcode, I know a good barcode solution site. I found it through Google. I created barcode in Java Class. It helped a lot. They provided detailed Java barcode data encoding guide. Very easy to use. It also provides various barcode readers, like barcode readers for iPhone, barcode readers for Java, etc.

Linux is always handy if you need to hack and develop a method for using something such as barcode on another device.

Thanks for sharing this source. It's a good choice.

In fact, as long as we have a search online, we can find many available barcode reading controls that can be used to decode and scan 1d and 2d barcodes, if the barcode reader is document compatible, we can aslo refer to the barcode scanner to decode and recognize barcodes on document files.
