QR scanner output using HID

[howwhykid]

I'm reading a simple QR code with json text, using a raspberry pi and Aibecy mp2600 QR scanner (handsfree):

{test:Hi}

Code: Select all

    import hid
    import time
    
    h = hid.device()
    h.open(0x1eab, 0x8003)
    
    print("Manufacturer: %s" % h.get_manufacturer_string())
    print("Product: %s" % h.get_product_string())
    print("Serial No: %s" % h.get_serial_number_string())
    
    try:
        while True: 
            d = h.read(64)
            if d: 
                print('read: "{}"'.format(d))
    finally:
        print("Closing the device")
        h.close()

However, in the console it's returning this:

Manufacturer: YK
Product: YK-2D PRODUCT HID KBW

read: "[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]"
read: "[0, 0, 40, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]"
read: "[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]"

1) What is the output format? is it in numpy format?

2) How can I convert the above output into string?

{test:Hi}

Well that's not ASCII ... but I can "see" the letters there in the 3rd field, seem to be

ascii code = 3rd code + 93

[0, 0, 23, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0] => 23 => 23 + 91 => 116 = 't'

Code: Select all

codes = 23,8,22,23 
for code in codes:
    print chr(93 + code)

You're getting HID data as documented on page 53 of http://www.usb.org/developers/hidpage/Hut1_12v2.pdf

The first byte is a bit string (the 0x2 bit means shift). The third byte is "usage ID" (as in the PDF).

Some useable code here too:
