The SparkFun 2D Barcode Scanner Breakout features the DE2120 camera-based scanner module, capable of reading 20 different barcode symbologies — from UPC and QR codes to Data Matrix and PDF 417. Onboard image processing handles decoding automatically, with illumination and aiming LEDs built in.

The breakout exposes the scanner's USB interface via a USB-C connector (HID keyboard, virtual COM port, and CDC serial all over one cable) and provides a 5-pin TTL serial header for embedded integration. A buzzer, status LED, and trigger button are included on the board. Configuration is done via serial commands or by scanning barcodes from the settings manual.

Key Features

20 Barcode Symbologies – 1D (UPC-A/E, EAN-8/13, Code 128, Code 39, QR, and more) and 2D (QR Code, Data Matrix, PDF 417, Aztec)
USB-C Interface – HID keyboard, virtual COM port, and CDC serial over one connector
TTL Serial Header – 5-pin header for embedded microcontroller projects
Onboard Trigger Button – Tactile switch for manual scan activation
Buzzer & Status LED – Audio and visual scan confirmation
Configurable – Via serial commands or by scanning setting barcodes

Supported Symbologies

1D: UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-8, EAN-13, Code 128, GS1-128, Code 39, Code 93, Code 11, Interleaved 2-of-5, Matrix 2-of-5, Industrial 2-of-5, Codabar, MSI, GS1 DataBar, Datalogic 2-of-5
2D: QR Code, Data Matrix, PDF 417, Micro PDF 417, Aztec Code

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

breakout: A breakout board carries a small or fine-pitched component and brings its connections out to standard, breadboard- and header-friendly pins. Describing a part as a breakout means it can be wired into a project without soldering directly to the component's tiny contacts.
COM port: A COM port is how a computer (chiefly under Windows) presents a serial port to software, whether a physical RS-232 port or a virtual port created when a USB-to-serial device is plugged in. Software can then communicate with the connected device over serial using a terminal or configuration program.
HID: Human Interface Device is a USB device class used for keyboards, mice, gamepads and similar controls. If a board supports HID over USB, it can act like an input device to a computer without needing a custom driver.
LED: A light-emitting diode (LED) is a small electronic component that emits light when current flows through it in the correct direction. Because it only conducts one way, its polarity matters, and a through-hole LED must be soldered the correct way around to light up.
microcontroller: A microcontroller is a small computer on a single chip that runs a stored program and controls connected inputs and outputs such as buttons, sensors, displays and communication interfaces. In a device built around one, it is the part that executes the code and coordinates the device's behaviour.
TTL serial: A simple serial data connection that uses microcontroller logic-level voltages (typically 3.3 V or 5 V) rather than the higher, inverted voltages of computer RS-232. When a device lists TTL serial, it can usually wire straight to a microcontroller's UART pins or to a USB-to-TTL serial adapter, but it needs a level converter before connecting to a true RS-232 port.
USB-C: USB-C is a small, reversible USB connector that can carry power, data and, on some devices, video over a single cable. The same connector can range from charging only to high-speed data, so the functions a given port actually supports vary.
