Intro: 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!

how to rectify this error?

Go to Sketch in the menu bar, Include Library, Library Manager, and search Adafruit Fingerprint

follow this diagram to connect LCD

follow this diagram to connect fingerprint sensor for loading of main program

TheRealRocketBurns 9 years ago

This is really cool, but maybe you should upload the code in a file and give s little explanation of it in the actual instructable, so others can modify it.

great. thanks for the suggestion. i will work on it and make sure it happens.

I am using fingerprint module r307 and LCD together. In that, I am using 2,3 digital pins of arduino for data transfer to the fingerprint.(I tried other pin configurations for this but it didn't work) But as I am connecting LCD, it also requires same 2,3 digital pins of arduino and it is not possible for me to use 2 and 3 pins of Arduino for both lcd and fingerprint sensor for data transfer. Can you please suggest an alternative to this. Can we use analog pins of arduino as digital ones and if so the how?? PLEASE HELP... Thank you!!

I have a huge question! First I used the instruction video by adafruit to solder the ends of the cables that come with the fingerprint sensor but it seems to always run out of power, it does power on but it just lasts a tenth of a second then turns off. What can I do about the cables, is it the breadboard I should change? (but I don't think so) it just doesn't show the blue light!

kwemboi eric 6 years ago

just wanted to talk about the finger print module hanging off this is just because the power supplied by the arduino being very little to power the whole of your circuit and what i would recommend you to do is that????????????

Build a stable power supply circuitthat will enable you to power your fingerprint module..

thank me later when it works out

I made it work!! but it came up with this compilation error:

How can i store the fingerprint image on Mysql database and retrive them again and check the exitance of the fingerprint on the database using the library
