Programming Zebra's RS507 Barcode Scanner - barcode-scanner

Does anyone know how one can program an RS507 scanner from Zebra. I noticed in the manual that they mentioned Zebra had a utility known as 123Scan, but when I went to their download webpage, the RS507 isn't included under compatible devices.
Are there any alternatives to creating an advance data formatting file the RS507?

123Scan is used to configure scanners but as you say, RS507 is not one of the scanners that software supports. You can configure the RS507 by scanning the barcodes in the Product Reference guide https://www.zebra.com/content/dam/zebra_new_ia/en-us/manuals/mobile-computers/rs507-prg-en.pdf. If you are using a Zebra mobile computer the EMDK supports programmatic access http://techdocs.zebra.com/emdk-for-android/6-8/api/reference/com/symbol/emdk/barcode/ScannerConfig.ReaderParams.ReaderSpecific.ImagerSpecific.html as does DataWedge.

How to convert a pen drive to a dongle?

I have a desktop application I've written in c#. I only want users with a license dongle to be able to use the software. I checked, there are companies that provide this facility but I find them expensive.
Is there a way I can turn an old pendrive into a dongle so it doesn't show in the file explorer, but the software can read from it ??
This is not possible with a normal pendrive. You would have to change the firmware of the pendrive controller.

From a software standpoint how does bluetooth work?

I'm trying to develop a wireless transfer system (like bluetooth) from scratch and I wanted to first get an understanding of how Bluetooth worked. So what steps take place from when I click "Turn on bluetooth" on my mac to when I finish sending the PDF to my LG Env Touch?
What software is running (ex. Protocols)?
This is a really broad question, and not one that I think can be answered well in this format. I'd suggest digging up some documentation on Bluetooth, like these:

Tools for bluetooth monitoring

For my project I have an Android phone and an Arduino device that communicate via Bluetooth. I was wondering if anyone knows any software tools I could use to monitor a bluetooth communications between two devices. Something like a packet eavesdropping. Preferably for Linux.
Take a look at ubertooth one. In the linked webpage there are instructions on how to build the dongle, as well as links to shops selling assembled dongles may be bought. Ubertooth one should work well with Kismet, and thus in Linux, by using a BT plugin (disclaimer: I have no personal experience on this).
Sounds like you are after a Bluetooth sniffer.
Bad news: They are almost exclusively Windows OS based and cost mega-$.

If you were using BlueZ for one side of the communication you could use the BlueZ HCIDUMP app and Wireshark.
I don't think anyone has made a Linuz/Bluez Sniffer - could be wrong.

How to get the AT Terminal command log (Linux) from Mobile Partner Modem Software?

I am trying to figure the AT command set issued by the Hauwei's Mobile Partner Software for making voice and video call. Mobile Partner is the bundled software for almost all Hauwei 3G Modems and comes with ability to make and receive voice calls. I need to know the AT commands it issues for my E1732 modem for voice, VIDEO calls and other things.I need the log. I have the Mobile Partner for Linux(Ubuntu) and Windows.It is working in both platforms. So any help in either of the platforms is appreciated.
My aim is to make a Linux based IVR system so I need them.
Thanks for your help
You will want to look at usbsnoop as all these devices are actually emulating serial communication across usb.
Also, have a look at USB modeswitch
homepage
debian repo
Modeswitch packs a lot of vendor specific 'magic' knowledge, that has been obtained by reverse engineering. Of course it was geered towards switching the USB device to 'modem' mode in the first place, but I suspect their developer list will have ample resources on tracing usb traffic.
Also, UMTSMon is Open Source code that allowed me to use several brands of 'unsupported' (undocumented) USB UMTS dongles in the past. UMTSMon will send specific sequences of AT commands if you want. I assume again, that the developer list will help you gather more information.
Disclaimer: I only used the mentioned packages, and have not been involved in their development

Are there any programmable barcode scanners that can call a webservice?

I am looking at integrating a C# application with a barcode scanner.
The last time I did this was with Delphi 1 (win 3.11) using a scanner that plugged in-line into the keyboard cable.
Looking around it appears most scanners are USB based these days and assume they emulate keyboard entry.
Anybody know of more sophisticated/programmable scanner that can call a webservice or even just do a basic POST/GET this would eliminate the C# application and the computer to support it?
There are a number of Ethernet and Wifi code readers on the market, though they tend to be targeted at industrial applications and usually cost more than the USB models. The company I work for makes such readers, and our fixed-mount DM200 reader is just such a device.
You could use a small computer (or even a microcontroller) with RO media, USB, and networking capabilities plus a psu to turn any suitable scanner to a network one. Raspberry Pi, for example, could do it and seems to be hip these days.
Alternatively some portable devices (like Android tablets) could probably use a camera or even a USB scanner for scanning codes and come with capable networking features.
