Anyone writing for the Symbol/Motorola MC70 to read 2D barcodes?

I'm using the latest SDK 1.04.xx from Symbol but none of the examples look
like they demo 2d barcode reading.

I've got an ap that reads linear barcodes just fine now but was wondering
how the 2D barcode data is parsed upon a read.

TIA

Hi,

I've found that Symbol makes some of their SDKs less than obvious. You may
have to call them to find out if you have the right one.

I did use one about 18 months ago, and it worked fine -- though I ended up
using my own code, and not what was in the SDK. I don't have it available
right now.

Thanks Dick,

I do have a support request in cause I actually see nothing about the 2D
imager capture etc.
Appreciate the response though. Still using your fantastic serial control.


Thanks!!

I've been using the 1.4 and 1.5 .NET SDKs to read QR code and Aztec
barcodes.

The 1.4 SDK requires an extra CAB to be installed on your MC70 to read
Aztec codes (just search the Symbol software download center for
"Aztec" and you'll see the CAB), but the 1.5 SDK has Aztec code
reading built in.

I forgot to mention there is nothing special needed. I just
instantiated a Barcode.Barcode object, enabled some the items under
the barcode class' DecodeParameters property, created a
ScannerReadEventHandler method and then enabled the scanner and
started scanning the 2D tags.

Thanks Jarod!!

I've been all over the new Motorola Symbol site and see the 1.6 BETA
download but only the readme for the 1.5. You have a url link to the
download page for the 1.5 SDK? They don't make it easy!

Thanks
Harry
