Say hello to the Tiny Code Reader from Useful Sensors. Requiring a standalone module or software solution on a microcontroller equipped with a camera for QR code reading in your maker ventures is no longer needed. Thanks to the Tiny Code Reader this has now become considerably more convenient, compact, and cost-effective.

Whether you’re using QR codes for transmitting Wi-Fi credentials to facilitate wireless connectivity setup or conveying personal data to populate a digital badge. This process was far from straightforward. So, what exactly makes the Tiny Code Reader great?

Does your project require text input but has no touch screen or keyboard? The Tiny Code Reader is ideal, it simply connects through Qwiic and is designed to be a simple way to provision a system, for example by providing the Wi-Fi network name and password, or by providing input when there's no keyboard.

Designed with a compact form factor the Tiny Code Reader is the size of a coin so will easily fit in most places.

The Tiny Code Reader comes with a comprehensive developer guide which includes example code for many popular systems including Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Pico W, CircuitPython, and MicroPython.

Aside from being compatible with many popular systems, there are also several complete project tutorials for Wi-Fi provisioning, keyboard input, and display updating.
