qrio – Low-level QR code decoding

Provides the QRDecoder object used for decoding QR codes. For more information about working with QR codes, see this Learn guide.

Note

This module only handles decoding QR codes. If you are looking to generate a QR code, use the adafruit_miniqr library

class qrio.PixelPolicy
EVERY_BYTE :PixelPolicy

The input buffer to QRDecoder.decode consists of greyscale values in every byte

EVEN_BYTES :PixelPolicy

The input buffer to QRDecoder.decode consists of greyscale values in positions 0, 2, …, and ignored bytes in positions 1, 3, …. This can decode directly from YUV images where the even bytes hold the Y (luminance) data.

ODD_BYTES :PixelPolicy

The input buffer to QRDecoder.decode consists of greyscale values in positions 1, 3, …, and ignored bytes in positions 0, 2, …. This can decode directly from YUV images where the odd bytes hold the Y (luminance) data

class qrio.QRDecoder(width: int, height: int)

Construct a QRDecoder object

Parameters
  • width (int) – The pixel width of the image to decode

  • height (int) – The pixel height of the image to decode

width :int

The width of image the decoder expects

height :int

The height of image the decoder expects

decode(buffer: circuitpython_typing.ReadableBuffer, pixel_policy: PixelPolicy = PixelPolicy.EVERY_BYTE) List[QRInfo]

Decode zero or more QR codes from the given image. The size of the buffer must be at least length``×``width bytes for EVERY_BYTE, and 2×``length``×``width`` bytes for EVEN_BYTES or ODD_BYTES.

class qrio.QRInfo

Information about a decoded QR code

payload :bytes

The content of the QR code

data_type :Union[str, int]

The encoding of the payload as a string (if a standard encoding) or int (if not standard)
