Hello all, I have been successfully using a barcode scanner / keyboard emulator with python on a BBB thanks to the evdev library ( https://python-evdev.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) recommended by Drew Fustini.
However, when I run the main program with crontab instead of from a console (I want to eliminate the need to have a laptop at the workstation), the barcode scanner no longer works. I suspect it has something to do with with the /dev/input path to the device being different in that environment, but I'm not entirely sure. I've done some searching and reading into this but haven't found the magic answer yet. I've not yet even been able to connect a console to the instance that was spawned by crontab to see what's going on inside of it. Any guidance appreciated, including pointing me to resources to work through myself. -- Don Pancoe, P.E.
