what sort of position should the bar code be? I mean should it look like the lines are going up and down in landscape or normal?

edit:

Ok I got it working.

The image I took that worked was not in landscape mode (the lines were going up and down in the normal position.) I got up real close and filled the image and the auto focus made it nice and sharp. The program found the barcode immediately and asked if I wanted to open my external program. Before, I had flash on but that distorts the image when you get up close.

I also found you dont need to open the settings.txt, aparently he lets you edit these lines within the program.
