Description

Module13.2 QRCode is a 1D/2D barcode scanning module from the M5Stack stacking module series. It integrates a 640 x 480 CMOS barcode capture engine for fast recognition of codes printed on paper, labels, tickets, and packaging.

The module supports three mainstream 2D code types and fourteen common 1D code types. A hardware switch selects USB or UART communication, and the USB interface supports virtual serial port, HID keyboard, and HID-POS modes for connection to different host systems.

With built-in buzzer feedback, white illumination LED, red aiming LED, multiple trigger modes, and DC 9 ~ 24V input, Module13.2 QRCode is suitable for logistics, retail checkout, production traceability, medical information collection, ticketing, and self-service terminals.

Features

FAQ

What codes can it read?

Module13.2 QRCode reads PDF417, QR Code, Data Matrix, and the listed 1D code formats including Code128, EAN, UPC, Codabar, MSI, and GS1 Databar.

Which host interfaces are supported?

It supports USB or UART. In USB mode, Module13.2 QRCode can work as a virtual serial device, HID keyboard, or HID-POS device.

Does it need an external power input?

The module provides a DC input interface for 9 ~ 24V operation through the internal step-down circuit. Choose power and host wiring according to the final installation.

Can it work without custom software?

Yes. In HID keyboard mode, Module13.2 QRCode can send scanned data to a host as keyboard input, while Module13.2 QRCode can also be integrated through serial or HID-POS workflows when deeper control is needed.

Which development platforms can be used?

Arduino and UiFlow2 resources are available for development, examples, and scanner control.
