Hardware Overview:

Let's take a closer look at the DE2120 scanner module as well as the other hardware present on this board

DE2120 Scanner Module

The DE2120 barcode scanner module from DYScan combines a CMOS camera with on-board image processing to identify and decode 20 different barcode symbologies in both 1D and 2D on a variety of mediums (paper, screen, etc.). The DE2120 also includes two user-configurable LEDs. One super bright white LED to help illuminate the scanning area and one red LED to project the red line like those found on laser-based scanners.

The DE2120 interfaces over USB Serial and TTL UART and can operate in several modes including USB Keyboard (default), USB COM, USB HID and TTL. Configure the communication modes and other settings by scanning barcodes or sending serial commands from the Scan Settings Manual.

When in USB Keyboard mode, the scanner behaves as a keyboard input (think your typical scanner on a Point of Sale system) and "types" the scanned barcode data followed by a carriage return. In USB-COM mode, the scanner behaves as a USB COM device and in TTL mode, the scanner operates as a TTL UART device to interface with a controller.

The module's two LEDs are also fully configurable to set behavior, brightness and simple on/off settings

Pinouts and Micro-USB Connection

The scanner module receives power either via the Micro-USB connector or from a regulated 3.3V source through the 3.3V pin. The scanner requires at least 190mA@3.3V to function. 5V from USB is regulated to 3.3V through an on-board 3.3V/600mA regulator.


Buzzer, Status LED and Trigger Button

We've routed the trigger pin to a pushbutton labeled SCAN, the status LED pin to a green LED and buzzer pin to a Piezo buzzer. Configure the Trigger and Buzzer just like everything else on the DE2120 using serial commands or barcodes from the Scan Settings Manual. Use the Trigger Button to initiate a scan when the DE2120 is in Trigger Mode (default). The buzzer defaults to play a tone on power-up and on a successful decode. The STAT LED illuminates on power-up and on a successful scan.

Hardware Assembly:

After the hardware overview we are well aware with the hardware presents on the Zero Barcode HAT. Now, let’s get its assembling and connection and start scanning barcodes

USB Assembly

It is the easiest way to start working with Zero Barcode HAT by using a Micro-USB cable. When the bar coder uses USB communication interface, but the host application program receives data by serial communication, it can be set to USB virtual serial communication mode. This function needs to install the corresponding driver on the host.


When using Linux system, the device is / dev / ttyACMx and X is the device number. If only one USB COM device is connected to the system, it is: / dev / ttyACM0.

Zero Barcode HAT Assembly with RPi

The serial communication interface is a common way to connect barcode and host devices and can be used to connect host devices such as PC and POS. When using the serial communication interface of the barcode scanner, the barcode scanner and the host device must be completely matched in the configuration parameters of the serial communication protocol to ensure the accuracy of data transmit.



Serial Default: Rate 9600bps; Data 8, Stop 1, Parity none. You can change the baud rate of Barcode Scanner at any time according to your need. For this refer to the page number 25 of the Barcode manual provided.

Steps to Follow For working with Zero Barcode HAT

Steps for setup RPi to work with Zero-Barcode HAT: Step.1 - So, before start working with this module first you have to enable the SPI in raspberry pi, for this go to cmd line then type “sudo raspi-config” then go to ->interface option -> and enable the SPI by Following the below image steps

Step1.1 -




Step1.2 - SC2

As the above image showing a tab to configure your RPi, use arrow key of your keyboard and go to Interface options and press enter. After that keep following the image instruction till finish SPI configuration


Step1.3 - SC3



Step1.4 - SC4



Step1.5 - SC5



Step1.6 - SC6



After Finishing it-up reboot your RPi by typing reboot command and press enter

Step1.7 - SC7



Step.2 - Now, Setup your Pi Zero Barcode HAT for using with RPi:
Step 2.1 - After attaching the Barcode HAT to the RPi Zero, turn it on with a USB cable and begin configuring the barcode scanner for RPi.
Step 2.2 - First, you need to change the mode of the Zero Barcode HAT for this you need to scan the below barcode settings before running the code



Step 2.3 - In this step you have to Change the baud rate to (9600) for this you need to scan the below barcode by pressing the scan button on the Zero Barcode Hat. You can also change the baud rate according to your choice by referring to Barcode Manual provided.



Step 2.4 - The DE2120 is completely user configurable, you can configure many settings according to your requirement by referring the DE2120 Manual (Barcode manual) provided in this Repo.

Use Zero Barcode HAT without Raspberry Pi (Via USB Cable):

You can also use this barcode HAT simply with USB cable for reading (without any controller board). Step.1 - For this you simply need to scan the Below barcode and your barcode scanner is now ready to work in USB com mode.



Step.2 - In USB com mode, you have to open a notepad/word and scan any barcode or QR-code to get their number in your system. As shown in below image
