Listens keyboard input from barcode scanner

Most of specialized barcode scanners can return result as an imitation of keyboard input, this library let get the result of this input

Different devices has a different code for start scanning button. Below is a list with tested devices and button key codes to start scanning for them:

• "Urovo i6200A" - 120
• "Urovo i6310" - 520
