This is a barcode scanner that can read a wide variety of 1D and 2D barcode standards including the popular striped barcode and QR code whether they are printed on paper or displayed on screen. It is highly configurable and can bring benefits of barcodes to any projects such as kiosks, vending machine etc. Configuration is done by scanning setup QR codes as described in the user manual. There are tons of options for reading mode and output format that you can choose from. For example, you can set the scanning triggered by automatic continuous scanning or in induction mode, where the scanner detects an object. You can also append a prefix or suffix to the data read.
Two types of host interface are supported, USB and UART. You can plug it in to a computer or boards like a Raspberry Pi, Tinker Board, etc. You will see it as a HID keyboard by default, no additional driver necessary. It means when you scan a barcode, you will see the output as if it is typed on a keyboard. There is also a small buzzer on board that gives you a sound indicator when the barcode is valid and read successfully.
This module is compact, low power and can be mounted easily to your project. You need to make a 40 mm diameter hole to insert this scanner. A set of mounting bracket and screws are included for easy mounting on a panel.
