Description

The GM861XS employs a high-resolution CMOS sensor to capture 1D barcodes and 2D Matrix codes, converting optical patterns into digital data via its integrated decoder. It outputs decoded data through a selectable UART (TTL) or USB interface, making it compatible with microcontrollers like Arduino, ESP32, STM32, and single-board computers like Raspberry Pi, as well as industrial PLCs.

Engineered for embedded applications, the module features a compact form factor (17.2mm diameter) and a wide field of view (67° horizontal, 53° vertical) to accommodate varied mounting positions and scanning angles. A green LED provides immediate visual feedback for successful reads, while low standby current (≤6mA typical) ensures energy efficiency in always-on systems.

Key Features

  • High-performance CMOS imaging sensor with 640x480 pixel array
  • Dual communication interfaces: 3.3V TTL UART and standard USB (HID/keyboard emulation)
  • Broad symbology support covering all major 1D linear and 2D stacked/Matrix codes
  • Wide operational range with 5-30cm reading distance and omnidirectional 360° roll capability
  • Compact, lightweight design (17.2mm diameter, 1g weight) for space-constrained integration
  • Low-voltage, low-current operation (3.3V, 70mA max) suitable for battery-powered devices
  • Fast startup time (≤250ms typical) for responsive on-demand scanning
  • Green LED indicator provides immediate positive scan confirmation

Applications

  • Embedded point-of-sale (POS) and retail kiosk systems for product identification
  • Inventory management and asset tracking in warehouse and logistics automation
  • Integration into handheld data terminals and mobile computing devices
  • Industrial process control and manufacturing line part verification
  • Library management systems and document tracking applications

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the electrical interface options for the GM861XS scanner?

The module provides two primary interfaces: a 3.3V TTL-level UART (serial) connection for direct integration with microcontrollers like Arduino or ESP32, and a standard USB port that typically emulates a keyboard (HID) for plug-and-play compatibility with PCs and single-board computers. Power is supplied via the same interface connections at 3.3V DC.

What is the operating voltage and current requirement?

The GM861XS operates strictly at 3.3V DC. Its maximum operating current is 70mA during active scanning, while typical standby current is very low at ≤6mA. Ensure your power supply can provide a stable 3.3V rail; connecting to a 5V source without a level shifter may damage the module.

What types of barcodes and QR codes does it support?

It supports a comprehensive range of symbologies. For 1D barcodes, it reads EAN, UPC, Code 128, Code 39, Codabar, ITF, and GS1 types. For 2D codes, it decodes QR Code, Data Matrix, PDF417 (including micro versions), and Aztec codes. This makes it suitable for retail, logistics, and industrial labeling standards.

How do I connect and communicate with the module via UART?

Connect the module's TX, RX, GND, and VCC (3.3V) pins to your microcontroller's corresponding UART pins. Communication is via standard serial protocol (baud rate, parity, and data format are typically fixed by the module; consult the datasheet for default settings). The module sends decoded data as an ASCII string terminated with a carriage return or line feed upon a successful scan.

What is the physical mounting and environmental consideration?

The module is extremely compact (17.2mm diameter) and lightweight (1g), designed for embedding into devices. Its wide 67° horizontal field of view and 360° roll tolerance allow flexible mounting orientations. Ensure the scanning window remains clean and free from obstructions, and consider the 5-30cm optimal reading distance when designing the housing.
