> ASCII SCANNER > DOES ANYONE MAKE A SCANNER WITH RS232 OUTPUT. > DO YOU HAVE ANY LINKS HP makes a pretty cool decoding chip. I used the HBCR-2210 in a design class in school. Generic led emit/reciever into the chip and ttl serial out. Pretty easy to use device. I seem to remember it was around $20 in one offs. Probably too expensive for low cost devices in production, but it was certainly quick to develop. I remember I sampled it through FAI (Future Electronics) (nice guys). -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
