GM65 QR and Barcode Scanner (1D - 2D Barcode)

Overview

Unlock seamless data capture with the GM65 QR and Barcode Scanner – a compact, high-performance 1D/2D barcode reader designed for makers, developers, and businesses across Egypt. Whether you're building a smart inventory system, automating a checkout process, or integrating barcode scanning into your next robotics project, the GM65 delivers reliable, fast, and accurate scanning in a tiny form factor.

With both USB and UART interfaces, this scanner offers plug-and-play convenience for PC-based applications and flexible serial communication for embedded systems. Its impressive resolution and wide reading angles ensure dependable performance even in challenging lighting conditions.

Key Features

• Versatile Scanning: Reads both 1D (e.g., UPC, EAN, Code 128) and 2D (e.g., QR, Data Matrix) barcodes.
• Dual Interface: USB for direct computer connection, UART for serial communication with microcontrollers and single-board computers.
• Exceptional Resolution: Detects barcodes as small as 4 mil (0.1mm) – perfect for high-density labels.
• Wide Reading Angles: Rotating 360°, deflection ±60°, tilt ±65° – captures codes from almost any orientation.
• Robust in Any Light: Operates in ambient light from 0 to 86,000 lux, from dark rooms to bright sunlight.
• Compact Design: Ultra-small footprint (21.4mm x 13.5mm x 11.1mm) fits easily into custom enclosures and portable devices.
• Low Power: Runs on standard 5V DC, suitable for USB power or microcontroller power pins.
