Re: Seeking a Simple USB Device That Can be Controlled via FM8



I do not know about the USB device, but you could always script your
result to play a sound - one sound for "accepted input" another sound
for an "error". Of course that would require computer speakers in the
vacinity of the barcode reader for the user to hear the result...

Hopefully, someone here knows of something closer to what you are
looking for. Good Luck!

Hi, we are looking for a simple USB device - a red light/green light
sort of thing that we can control from Filemaker 8. We're looking for
a simple and bombproof installation where a user can scan a barcode at
an omnidirectional reader, have FM8 validate the code against some
business logic and then return a status signal to a USB device. A
light, a buzzer or something. Since we can pass a signal to a USB
printer we presume we can pass a signal to a much simpler device but we
can't locate one. We plan to have the computer and monitor out of
sight - just need a simple two device setup - one for input and one for
output.
