Peripheral Keyboard and Barcode Scanner

The project demonstrates how to turn a Flutter mobile app into a peripheral keyboard and barcode scanner to input data into PCs.

Setting Up the Python Server

Install pyautogui, websockets and zeroconf using pip:
```
pip install pyautogui websockets zeroconf
```

Change the port numbers for Bonjour service and web socket server if they are already in use.

# Bonjour
info = ServiceInfo("_bonsoirdemo._tcp.local.",
                "Python Web Socket Server._bonsoirdemo._tcp.local.",
                port=7000, addresses=[ip_address])

# Web Socket Server
s = await websockets.serve(server, ip_address, 4000)

If you change the web socket port in the server, you also need to change the port in the Flutter app.

_connect('${widget.service.ip}:4000');

Run the server:
```
python server.py
```

Setting Up the Flutter Mobile App

Apply for a trial license key of Dynamsoft Barcode Reader SDK from here.

Replace the license key in the scanner_screen.dart file.

await DCVBarcodeReader.initLicense(
      'DLS2eyJoYW5kc2hha2VDb2RlIjoiMjAwMDAxLTE2NDk4Mjk3OTI2MzUiLCJvcmdhbml6YXRpb25JRCI6IjIwMDAwMSIsInNlc3Npb25QYXNzd29yZCI6IndTcGR6Vm05WDJrcEQ5YUoifQ==');

Run the app on your mobile device.
```
flutter run
```
