#Code Scanner Widget - trying it out.

I'm just trying out this widget. I got it to scan a code once, but probably another 15 attempts have been unsuccessful.

#

I'm trying it on both my phone and my laptop... but nothing except that one successful scan.

Hello! Did you get any errors when scanning the codes? Could you share some
sample codes that did not work for you?

No errors, just no action.

Please share some of the codes if you can when you get a chance so we can test
this. :)

Here's a couple that did not work... actually the one on the left worked after quite a few tries. I went to a wedding Saturday night and there was some centerpiece with a QR code in the middle and the scanner picked it up immediately.

Thanks for this. We'll take a look.

I was able to replicate this. The code scanner doesn't work well on standard
barcodes for me, either. It almost always scans but doesn't always read the
correct value. QR codes are much more robust than barcodes, so it is no surprise
that it was scanned instantly. I'm not sure there's much we can do about that,
but I'll ask the team about it.

No problems... I was wondering about bringing in a scanner library but I'm clueless on how to bring in a library and start usiing it, so I'll stick to what I know... That might make a good Tutorial.
