1D/2D Barcode Scanner Reader Module

This small barcode and QR code scanner from Waveshare reads 1D and 2D codes from paper or screen. It is read via Micro USB on a PC or via UART on a microcontroller such as Arduino. It is set up by scanning configuration codes.

Features:

• Decodes common 1D and 2D codes such as barcode and QR code
• Micro USB and UART interface
• Configurable by scanning configuration codes
• Light source on the module, also reads in the dark
• Button and buzzer on the board

Application Examples:

• Barcode reader on a PC
• Reading QR codes in Arduino projects
• Capturing labels and article numbers
