Use the DE2120 Barcode Module with ESP32 Wrover Kit

Hello, I am sort of a beginner at dealing with electronic components and did not do due diligence before making a purchase. The project I’m trying to complete is using the DE2120 barcode scanning module with an ESP32 Wrover kit microcontroller. However, I did not purchase the breakout board that would let me power and use the pins on the barcode module. Is there a recommended way to still use the module with the ESP32? The ESP32 itself has a mating connector spot for its OV2460 camera module, and it is a 24pin FFC connector. I’m not super well versed and am not sure if the 12pin FFC with the barcode module would work with that. Would I have to remap the pins using a library of some sort?

Sorry for all the questions, any direction would be much appreciated.

Unfortunately you’re going to need the breakout. Besides being the wrong size connector, the power and data pins are in the wrong positions.

Got it, thanks so much for the quick response!
