ARDUINO FINGERPRINT SCANNER WITH 16X2 LCD

this instructable is based and inspired by Arduino LCD tutorial and fingerprint scanner from Adafruit (http://www.adafruit.com/product/751). I have added 16x2 LCD into the fingerprint to be able to see the status of the process of fingerprint scanning.

this is my first instructable, you are very welcome to comment and share.

materials:

Arduino Uno

16x2 LCD

fingerprint sensor

10k potentionmeter

220ohms resistor = 3pcs

red LED

green LED

jumper wires

breadboard

future improvements to be carried out:

1. auto shutdown when no input is detected within specified time to save power.

2. wake up function

3. integrate more sensor or inputs to activate finger scanning within predetermined scenario

4. use actuator to use for an application

Step 1: Enrolling the Fingerprint and Connecting the FPS Sensor and LCD

please follow the instructions given from adafruit tutorial http://www.adafruit.com/product/751 on how to connect the fingerprint sensor to the arduino during enrollment process. download the software for windows and install in your computer. enrolling the fingerprint using the software makes the process a lot easier.

make sure to add the adafruit library to your arduino library.

go to http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/LiquidCrystalSerial for tutorial of the LCD and the instructions on how to connect the components.

Step 2: Load the Fingerprint Sketch With LCD Sketch

copy and paste the codes below which i had modified in order to accommodate fingerprint scanning and display the results on LCD.

/***************************************************
This is an example sketch for our optical Fingerprint sensor

Designed specifically to work with the Adafruit BMP085 Breakout ----> http://www.adafruit.com/products/751

These displays use TTL Serial to communicate, 2 pins are required to interface Adafruit invests time and resources providing this open source code, please support Adafruit and open-source hardware by purchasing products from Adafruit!
