I'm looking for a postage scale that already has linux support (drivers, etc) for a shipping system that I'm working on. I'm planning to use Ubuntu 9.04, but I am willing to switch distro's for compatibility.
Does anybody know of any scales that currently work? Is there an open source project that's working on scale drivers or similar?
Thanks!
Update:
I've created a newer version of my earlier script that mattismyname linked. It's written in C, and you can find it at https://github.com/erjiang/usbscale
To use it, just download the source code and run (inside its directory):
sudo aptitude install libusb-1.0-0-dev
make
./usbscale
You might need to copy the 50-usb-scales.rules to your /etc/udev/rules.d (or run as root, haha) if you run into a permissions error.
