Installing
It's working on Ubuntu 18.04 with Zebra SDK 4.4, which you can download from https://www.zebra.com/de/de/support-downloads/software/developer-tools/scanner-sdk-for-linux.html
You can easily install zebra_scanner with pip:
.. code-block:: sh
sudo apt-get install libboost-dev libboost-python-dev libpugixml-dev
sudo pip3 install pybind11
sudo pip3 install . # in zebra-scanner directory
A minimal example
.. code-block:: python
import pprint
import time
from zebra_scanner import CoreScanner
pp = pprint.PrettyPrinter(indent=4)
scanners = []
cs = CoreScanner()
@cs.on_scanner_added
def on_scanner_added(scanner):
print("New scanner found:")
pp.pprint(scanner.dict)
scanners.append(scanner)
scanner.pull_trigger()
scanner.fetch_attributes()
for id, attribute in scanner.attributes.items():
if id<10:
pp.pprint({
"id": id,
"datatype": attribute.datatype,
"value": attribute.value,
"permission": attribute.permission
})
@scanner.on_barcode
def on_barcode(barcode):
print("Scanned:")
print(barcode.code, barcode.type)
@cs.on_scanner_removed
def on_scanner_removed(scanner):
print("Scanner removed:")
scanner.release_trigger()
scanners.remove(scanner)
pp.pprint(scanner.dict)
while True:
time.sleep(0.1)
# do nothing while the scanner is reading in continous mode
Running the example
