Anyone aware of a reflective opto sensor that kinda looks like an opto interrupter (but relies on reflection instead of transmission) and has a narrow enough beam to read barcodes? I'd like to print barcodes on index cards and slide them through a cheap reader. The output can just be digital bar present/not present. I'll decode it in the PIC. Any ideas? Thanks!
