Hello friends!
Maybe this is s silly question but is there any way to generate QR code pixels from a string?

Thanks!

With a Pic? Probably, if you know the rules on generation of QR codes. Otherwise there are countless websites that generate it from whatever you want.

Yes with a PIC. I have epaper display connected to a PIC24 and I want to generate QR code and display it.

Thanks.

Here is Arduino src to create QR codes you can adapt to the PIC

I'm looking through QR code generation pages, trying to narrow it down to actually how to make one from scratch. It looks like you'll have to decide on the size and version of it (I'd go with version 1, 21 x 21 pixels). So far this is the best site I 'we found:

Also the more correct library for the SSD displays is probably this one:

However, this is only going to be translatable to relatively large PIC's.
The table sizes needed to generate the codes are quite large.
