Optical

Scanner Click as his name said, is an optical scanner expansion board for building optical cost-sensitive scanners and printers. The main component of this board is a 102 pixels linear optical array sensor marked TSL3301CL from AMS. For accessing sensor registers from any host controller communication is accomplished through a three-wire SPI high speed serial interface. This linear optical sensor provides high density pixel count and integrated analog-to-digital conversion to the Scanner click, and also enables high resolution scanning and scalable operating range. This Click board™ is most suitable for the applications like scanners, printer edge detect and optical character recognition.

Scanner Click is supported by a mikroSDK compliant library, which includes functions that simplify software development. This Click board™ comes as a fully tested product, ready to be used on a system equipped with the mikroBUS™ socket.
