USB Barcode Scanner doesn't transfer data on Raspbian

Sun Dec 13, 2015 11:50 am

Hey together,

I have an issue regarding using a Barcode Scanner with Pi B+ on Raspbian.
The Scanner "SG303 High Performance CCD Scanner" works perfectly fine on Win8.1 Desktop and Linux Ubuntu Live-DVD without installing any additional software.
But using it on my Raspberry doesn't work. When I scan a Barcode, the Scanner does this usually "beep", but there is no data transfer (into a opened Textfile). Because it scans the Code, there should be no problem with the power supply.
The Pi detects the Scanner as seen here:

Code: Select all

$ lsusb | grep Weltrend
Bus 001 Device 009: ID 040b:6510 Weltrend Semiconductor Weltrend Bar Code Reader
and

Code: Select all

$ dmesg
[7510873.817215] usb 1-1.3: new low-speed USB device number 8 using dwc_otg

What have I tried to fix it?
  • Scanner on Win8.1 and Linux Ubuntu 15.10 Live-DVD -> works fine
  • Plug the Scanner in, while only a USB-Stick is attached -> no effect
  • Use a powered USB-Hub (5V/1A), attach only the Scanner on this Hub -> no effect
As I write this, I'm thinking whether updating Raspbian could help anyway?

Thanks for your help!
Best regards, Timore
