Description: Bluetooth 1.2 Java-based USB Dongle Interface - with support for 6 Parallel serial port sessions<br>
<br>
Hello everyone, I'm looking for a quick fix here.&nbsp; I am in the
middle of completing a project for a Java based POS system.&nbsp; We
had decided to use BT usb dongle and BT 1.1 flicscanner(microvision),
but when we asked if we could add any additional scanners for inventory
we discovered that it wasn't a viable option without a BT hub.&nbsp;
One of our main focuses for the POS over the last few years is to
minimize the footprint, in retail - space matters! <br>
<br>
To sync multiple units via BT 1.1 I would have to tell the unit to
&quot;power off&quot; and then wait for the next device to sync.&nbsp; I would
considered this a &quot;confusing batch mode&quot; method.<br>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">The concept is to build a Java server
that will connect to 6 scanners simultaneously, we will parse the data
and stream it directly into our MySQL database.</span><br>
<br>
I want to avoid installing yet another hardware device(BT Hub) to support, so I'm asking the Bluetooth Pro's two questions:<br>
<ol>
  <li>Am I possibly misunderstanding the scatternet concept in BT 1.2?&nbsp; Is simultaneous scanning possible via a USB Dongle?</li>
  <li>Would any of you be interested in a 20-40 hour project to build this for us, so I can focus on POS development?</li>
  <ul>
    <li>We need source code so we can continue development.<br>
    </li>
    <li>You can choose to do the entire project, or just the part that
you're good at. e.g. we could handle the Java/MySQL connectivity as
long as you can develop the file transfer communication with the BlueZ
protocol API.<br>
    </li>
  </ul>
</ol>
