Can a camera be configured to read a QR code using stm32

I am using the Nucleo-L476RG board, and I am trying to configure the board to scan a QR code using a camera module. My question is, can I use a normal camera configured with the board and then code it to read QR codes, or do I need a specific QR reader attachment to read QR codes?

I'd imagine you'd need some library to decipher the QR Code out of the bitmap image.​

I did it for bar code years ago. it looked easy space, narrow bar, wide bar. 1 dimension, I had to write program to recognize each pixel, space between. It took 6 months fooling around.

assuming that you have 2 dimensions, it would take 6 ^ 2 months = 36 months

I suggest to look for already working scanner.

Yes, you can use a normal camera module with your Nucleo-L476RG board to scan QR codes. However, you will need to implement the QR code decoding functionality in your code to process the image data captured by the camera module and extract the QR code information.
