Need an example on CD + barcode scanner help :P

[krusty50]

Hi, my name's Steve and I'm studying in tech. EE in canada and I'm gonna get my diploma in june 2k5 (if all goes well :P). Me and my teamate are currently working on our last project. It's an alcohol inventory system.

Using a barcode reader well scan, lets say, a bottle of vodka, drop it on a scale w/ rs-232 output and a 16F877 will transform the weight of the bottle in the exact quantity of alcohol (in oz.) left in the bottle.

I was looking at the examples given on the last pages of my CCS reference manual. Anyone can send me EX_LCDKB.C , KBD.C and LCD.C at [email protected] , it would be greatly appreciated ;). The bookstore here at our college didnt had the CD with the book.

And while I'm at it, has anyone worked with a barcode scanner linked to a PIC ? Were beginning this part soon and I'm guessing that we'll need some kind of serial to parralel IC that will allow us to input the data to one of the PICs port... We looked on the web a lot, if you guys have any interesting sites or comments, don't hesitate!

Thanks a lot guys,
Steve
