J-M-L:
How is the barcode scanner configured? The Eclipse MS5145 Have TONS of options to do different things.

For a true HID Barcode scanner; does it need special configuration?

regards

Z.Faisal

my complete code is here:

/*
 
Portable barcode scanner. Uses USB HID barcode scanner, Arduino Board, USB Host Shield and HD44780-compatible LCD display
 
  The circuit:
 * LCD RS pin to digital pin 7
 * LCD Enable pin to digital pin 6
 * LCD D4 pin to digital pin 5
 * LCD D5 pin to digital pin 4
 * LCD D6 pin to digital pin 3
 * LCD D7 pin to digital pin 2
 * LCD R/W pin to ground
 * 10K resistor:
 * ends to +5V and ground
 * wiper to LCD VO pin (pin 3)
