Still include the mode indicator, string length, and data...I was hoping there was an option to just leave the remaining error correction bits as 0's?
I'm making the QR Code in assembly (MIPS) for a class project. Implementing the Reed Solomon Algorithm is becoming quite a bear.
The lowest level of error correction is 7% - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_code#Error_correction
Here's a sample code with "L" level correction. If you cover one or two blocks, the code is still readable. Much more than that and information cannot be recovered.
You could, theoretically, mask out the error corrective bits when you generate the QR code - but I'm not entirely sure why you would do so.
