Magtag QR Code Model 2 support

Post by suttyct »

Hi All,

I would like to generate a QR code model 2 on the magtag is this supported, am I missing something? If it is not supported is there any suggestion on how I could go about generating my own.

Currently if I try generate the QR Code with the magtag library it does not work as it does not appear to support such a long string, the string is approximately 800 characters long.

800 characters is a fairly large string.. that would require a version-16 QR code, which is 81 dots per side.

The miniqr.py library only generates codes up to version-9 (53 dots per side). Your best bet will be to use an online QR code generator and display that as a bitmap.
