I know there is an ability to identify color codes, but how about Qcode and barcode decoding? I would hope this would be a matter of porting some existing source into the fw. Any idea on timetable?

Hi Nathan,
Barcode decoding has been done pretty extensively in computer vision, so we may leave this to someone in the community to port over to Pixy so we can focus on other features that have already been promised. If you’d like to port it yourself, Github is a great place to start. There are many barcode reader projects in many different languages.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Did anything further happen with this?
Being able to detect (at the least) the presence of a barcode or QR code would be great. Even if it then gets passed off to a normal computer for full decoding.
Hello Michael,
I asked around and we don’t know of any efforts on this front. Sorry 
I’ll log this as a feature request though.
What would you like to do with QR codes (just so we have a better idea of the application.)
Edward
The main thing would be detection of a QR code being in the sight of the camera. The standard has target zones that should help with that. Normal barcodes would be good as well but might be harder to detect reliably.
Being able to trigger an alert so the image can be sent to a computer for full processing would be the minimum. If it can actually decode the barcode / QR code onboard that would be even better as it could then minimise data transmitted.
