If you use an external QR/barcode reader module then you can access the data on an Arduino board using its UART. SparkFun have a tutorial here: https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/2d-barcode-scanner…

The scanner module scans and decodes the QR code in front of it and outputs the data on a serial connection (USB / UART). How you read, store and process that data afterwards is up to you. You just need…

Will use vb.net and xampp. Can someone help me or know where I'll get info or code related to our topic

and a video of it being used via USB here:

The scanner module scans and decodes the QR code in front of it and outputs the data on a serial connection (USB / UART).

How you read, store and process that data afterwards is up to you. You just need to trigger the capture (manually or via code) and then read the captured data returned over the serial connection.

In this case you don't need an Arduino as the scanner module could be connected directly by USB to a computer (similar to the YouTube video linked previously) and then by running an instance of VB.NET. However the likes of an Arduino may be useful if you want to use sensors / indicators to trigger the scan and give user feedback along with logging captured data to SD card for offline use.
