Hello everyone, I'm looking for a quick fix here.  I am in the middle of completing a project for a Java based POS system.  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.  One of our main focuses for the POS over the last few years is to minimize the footprint, in retail - space matters!

To sync multiple units via BT 1.1 I would have to tell the unit to "power off" and then wait for the next device to sync.  I wo= uld considered this a "confusing batch mode" method.
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.

I want to avoid installing yet another hardware device(BT Hub) to support, = so I'm asking the Bluetooth Pro's two questions:
  1. Am I possibly misunderstanding the scatternet concept in BT 1.2? = ; Is simultaneous scanning possible via a USB Dongle?
  2. Would any of you be interested in a 20-40 hour project to build this = for us, so I can focus on POS development?
    • We need source code so we can continue development.
    • 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.
