Decode nearly any kind of 1D (striped) barcode in your project using this adorable compact barcode scanner. We've looked all over for a small, light, low-power module that can be easily integrated. This OEM scanner has a little camera inside that takes 100 photos per second, instead of using a 'scanning mirror' assembly. This means its less likely to get damaged or out of alignment.Please note: this is a camera-based not laser-based scanner - you'll have to hold it farther away than you usually do for laser-mirror scanners! Try 10cm/4" or more distance with the button held down. This all in one module is the most microcontroller-friendly we could find. It is powered over 5V and instead of a USB port, it has a PS/2 interface and acts like a 'keyboard'. In fact, its designed to be a 'pass through keyboard wedge' device for point-of-sale terminals. What's nice about PS/2 is that it uses a single connector for power and data, and uses two data pins. When a barcode is scanned, the raw data is decoded, parity-checked and spit out as if they were typed on a keyboard. Nearly all microcontrollers have existing PS/2 keyboard examples that would work fine with this barcode scanner For Arduino users, 5:00)Technical Details Performance parameters - Light source: Visual red, wavelength 632 nm Scan depth of field: [email protected]/0.5mm, PCS90% Resolution: 5mil/[email protected]% Ambient light immunity: 5000 Lux Max Voltage: DC + 5V ± 5% Operating power consumption: 80 mAh Read the display state: The buzzer sounded Scan speed: 100 scans / sec ± 10% Operating temperature: 0 oC to 50 oC (32 oF to 122 oF) Storage temperature: -20 oC to 70 oC (-4 oF to 158 oF) Relative temperature: 20% to 95% (non-condensing) Shockproof design: 2000 g, 0.7 ms, 3 axes Interface: Keyboard / serial / USB Wire: Straight line 150 cm Interface: MOLEX 11P Pitch 1.25 Weight: About 17 grams (without wire) Physical dimension: 44 mm (width) x 30 mm (length) x 19.2 mm (high) Downloads: * MCR12 Barcode Scanner Specsheet * Reset the scanner with this barcode https://elecena.pl/product/22710867/barcode-reader-scanner-module-ccd-camera-ps-2-interface-discontinued 2023-03-06 https://elecena.pl/product/22710867/barcode-reader-scanner-module-ccd-camera-ps-2-interface-discontinued 2024-09-19
