Barcode Scanner Module (1D/2D Barcodes)

This is a small 1D/2D code reader that utilizes an intelligent image recognition algorithm. It will decode both barcodes and 2D codes that have been printed on paper or displayed on a screen, fast and accurately.

An onboard USB and UART interface makes this little reader quite versatile as it can be directly plugged into a computer, or be easily integrated with popular SBC’s like the

Raspberry Pi

,

Raspberry Pi Zero

, or the

Beagle Bone Black

. 

Online resources including datasheets, example code, and connection information can be found on the

Waveshare Wiki page

for this module.  

UART cable is NOT included
