Mudita kompakt qr-scanner and usages

Hi,

I would like to ask if a scanned qr-code does lead to an external website, like to a digitial reciep of an fastfood restaurant, will work on the kompakt?

I know it is a little specific, but i don’t see the reason to print a recipe that is discarded in a minute as paperwaste. Or am i missing something? Hidden server costs?

Thanks :slight_smile:

I missed it. Does the Kompakt come with a QR scanner?

the camera will be able to scan. But my question would be if the generated qr-code will lead to an actual website and what does the kompakt do with these type of codes :slight_smile:

Okay, thanks, @tobi! I did not see a QR scanner in the Features section here:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mudita/mudita-kompakt?ref=nav_search&result=project&term=mudita%20kompakt&total_hits=1

But, I found this Mudita Forum post by @urszula:

But, I do not see later in that thread whether she has heard back from the dev team.

@urszula, do you have any updates from the dev team about the QR scanner in the Mudita Kompakt?

You can scan QR-codes with Mudita Kompakt to e.g. seamlessly connect to WiFi access point or connect an eSIM to your device.
Also- I used it to scan the QR code to use WhatsApp on the computer as well.

@tobi, based on @urszula’s helpful response, you should not expect to use QR-code scanning to open a website, given that the Mudita Kompakt has no browser.

@kirkmahoneyphd There is a WebView that does open up. It’s not for browsing, but it does open up a page, if, for instance, you need to connect to airport WiFi (you know to check that you agree to terms & conditions etc.)

The Mudita team continues to impress me with thoughtfulness and thoroughness with respect to the usefulness of the Kompakt. Thank you, team!

That sounds great! Is this just for wifi connection, or for other QR codes too (say to display a restaurant menu)?

I haven’t checked a restaurant menu. But Wifi, Acropolis Tickets & WhatsApp web access all worked for me.

I plan to side-load the Session messenger app, which uses QR codes as one way for Session users to share Session Account IDs with one another.

If I remember (and it’s okay for me to talk about side-loading on this forum), then I will post a report about this here.

@kirkmahoneyphd Of course you can talk about sideloading on the FORUM. I’m super interested in what apps work well with Mudita Kompakt.

I tried scanning with the photo app but the qr-code won’t be registered what do I have to do to make it read an qr-code?
