🧩 The QRCode Unit is a compact and integrated 1D/2D barcode scanner module combining a high-resolution 640×480 CMOS QR capture engine with a STM32F030 MCU for bus conversion. It features a physical toggle switch for seamless switching between I2C and UART communication interfaces.
📷 The scanner supports 3 types of QR codes and 8 types of 1D barcodes commonly used in logistics, retail, and manufacturing. It includes a firmware upgrade interface, a scan trigger button, a built-in buzzer, and LED lighting for aiming and feedback. The buzzer and green LED provide audio-visual cues to assist with focusing and targeting.
⚙️ The QRCode Unit can be configured for manual trigger mode or automatic continuous scanning via programming. It’s ideal for material flow tracking, inventory management, and smart retail systems.
⚠️ To switch to UART mode: Power off the device, toggle the mode switch to UART, then press and hold the TRIG button for 2 seconds while powering on. Release once startup completes. For assistance, contact technical support.
