does not work with TI sample data matrix or digikey datamatrix

[annerajb]

Tried changing the code to make it work with datamatrix from both ti and / or digikey but could not get it to work.
It seems the text looses a bunch of unicode characters as soon as it's pasted into the QTplaintext box also the weird time delayed method of reading data of it does not work since the scanner takes a second or two to paste the 292 characters from the data matrix. Breaking the format.

Missed this issue... the proper way is that there is some special break characters etc encoded. The actual format is detailed by ECIA (I didn't actually know when I started the project), see https://www.ecianow.org/wp-content/uploads/ECIA_EIGP114.1.pdf .

The problem is that some readers don't seem to even read those characters correctly (or there is some setting on them that needs to be changed), then I'm not sure if QTplaintextbox will strip them out as well. I basically used the reader I had here & made it work with that as have no reference for anything else...
