I tried posting this to the symbol forum, but there is no-one posting or
answering there, and this forum is so active, I am hoping maybe someone
here knows....
We are trying to use the Symbol 1740 (with the embedded Palm) as a laser
pointer. I got the
example app pointer_3.0 from
http://www.symbol.com/products/mobile_computers/mobile_palm_applications_demo.html
but whenever you turn on the laser, there is a little wiggle as the
mirror stops.
* Can the laser be turned on without the wiggle?
* How do you get the laser to go on from software. The following didn't
work for me:
// in StartApplication
ScanOpenDecoder();
ScanCmdScanEnable();
ScanCmdAimOn();
OrigLaserOnTime = ScanGetLaserOnTime();
ScanSetLaserOnTime(80); //99 is max
ScanSetAngle (SCAN_ANGLE_NARROW);
ScanSetTriggeringModes(HOST);
...
// when my soft-button is hit:
ScanCmdStartDecode();
* Also, can I detect when the yellow buttons are pressed if the laser is
NOT enabled? (Can I use the yellow buttons as generic buttons)? Can I
differentiate which of the 3 different yellow buttons the user pressed?
How about the two different sets of up-down buttons?
Thanks!
