Hello,
I was able to successfully remove the first 19 characters from a scanned data matrix code. However, I am unable to remove tail end which is 250+ characters.
How can I extract characters 19 to 35?
Unfortunately no. I was able to use the barcodes for number scanning on how long I want the Head and how long I want the Tail to be. However the tail seems to be maxed out at 249 characters. I am unable to remove the remaining characters from the tail.
Dang - is there a way you can strip it out using code on the backend?
Would you happen to have any resources on how to do that?
It’ll be tricky without an example or more of a description of what you’ve got goin’, but you can use either arduino/C or python to do it fairly easily - your best bet is likely to copy an output and paste it along with a description of what you’re doing to an AI model and work from there
Where is the scanner’s output being sent to currently?
I am trying to use it as a simply 2D scanner that can extract middle characters from a long data matrix output. The output is going into excel.
Unfortunately I am not too familiar with using Arduino or if the company I work for, if their IT will allow me to go this route.
You can likely use excel to strip the characters out as well, you can do a lot with its cell-based programming functions
Hi,
Yes this is what we are currently using, however we were looking for a way to avoid that in a cost effective way.
One of the easier ways might be to use a Raspberry Pi and the python library to interface with it…you can perform the suffix deletion by adding a line or two of code and have the Pi then pass that over serial to excel or what-have-you
