The DYScan DE2120 is one of the coolest little barcode scanners we've ever seen. This tiny "scan engine" will read 20 different barcode symbologies — both 1D and 2D! This is achieved by using a camera coupled with on-board image processing to identify and decode everything from UPC codes to QR codes. The module also features two LEDs: one for illumination and one to project the red line that you're used to seeing from laser-based scanners. On a hardware level, this bare module is a little...

QR codes are a great way for users to communicate with microcontrollers, whether it’s passing WiFi credentials to set up connectivity or sending personal information to fill out a digital badge. Reading them from a maker project didn’t used to be easy though. You’d either needed a large and relatively expensive standalone module, or your own software solution on a board with a camera. The Tiny Code Reader from Useful Sensors is smaller than a quarter, very low cost, and connects through Qwiic....
