The readers I've seen do all the decoding internally.
They hook up via a Y-cable to your keyboard and require
absolutely NO code at all on the PC. Anywhere the PC accepts
keyboard input, you can wave the wand instead.

Don't see why you would want to try to decode it yourself.
Trust me, it's a pain in the ass.

Unless you have a raw LED reader.

Are you making one?
