Barcode Scanner not working on portenta h7

Official Hardware Portenta Family Portenta H7

I am trying to use a barcode scaner with my portenta h7 and it is saying that there can't be any software serial and if I remove it and try to use serial1 to define the TX and RX pins it still doesnt work. Any ideas?


#define Serial1 

Serial1 (13, 14);

#include "SparkFun_DE2120_Arduino_Library.h" 
DE2120 scanner;

#define BUFFER_LEN 40
char scanBuffer[BUFFER_LEN];

void setup()
{
  Serial1.begin(115200);
  Serial.begin(115200);
  Serial.println("DE2120 Scanner Example");

  if (scanner.begin(Serial1) == false)
  {
    Serial.println("Scanner did not respond. Please check wiring. Did you scan the POR232 barcode? Freezing...");
    while (1)
      ;
  }
  Serial.println("Scanner online!");
}

void loop()
{
  if (scanner.readBarcode(scanBuffer, BUFFER_LEN))
  {
    Serial.print("Code found: ");
    for (int i = 0; i < strlen(scanBuffer); i++)
      Serial.print(scanBuffer[i]);
    Serial.println();
  }

  delay(200);
}

I just did some more reserch and if anyone is looing for the code that works you can find it here!
