In summary, the conversation is about building a fingerprint security system and the person is asking for help in identifying components and understanding how the circuit works. They also share a link to the circuit schematic and the source code. The SM630 is a fingerprint module that stores fingerprints and the circuit is designed to open an electric lock if the fingerprint is recognized. Otherwise, a buzzer will sound and the LCD screen will show either "access allowed" or "denied".

Fingerprint recognition circuit help!

Hi Guys,

I am building a fingerprint security system, but i am having trouble identifying every component.

I would really appreciate your help. And also if you could talk me through how the circuit works...but more importantly, will it work??

Thanks :smile:

Where did you get the schematic from? What's an SM630? What is the code running in the uC?

Tell us about the circuit yourself first please...

i found the circuit...

http://www.8051projects.info/proj.asp?ID=76

i have attached a copy of the source code.

The SM630 is a fingerprint module with the ability to store fingerprints inside its built in memory.

My understanding is that the user presses the add button and scans the finger, once this is done the verify button should be presses with the finger on the module. If the fingerprint is recognised, the relay will work, hence opening an electric lock.

If it is not recognised the relay will fail and the buzzer will sound. The LCD screen will show either access allowed or denied.

Thankyou.

FAQ: Fingerprint recognition circuit help

What is a fingerprint recognition circuit?

A fingerprint recognition circuit is a type of electronic circuit that is designed to scan and analyze a person's fingerprints in order to identify them. It uses a combination of sensors, processors, and algorithms to capture and match unique fingerprint patterns.

How does a fingerprint recognition circuit work?

A fingerprint recognition circuit works by first scanning a person's fingerprint using a sensor. The sensor then converts the fingerprint into a digital image and sends it to a processor. The processor compares the fingerprint image with stored reference images and uses algorithms to determine if there is a match. If there is a match, the person is identified and granted access.

What are the benefits of using a fingerprint recognition circuit?

One of the main benefits of using a fingerprint recognition circuit is its high level of security. Since each person's fingerprints are unique, it is difficult for someone to replicate or forge them. This makes it an effective method for verifying a person's identity. Additionally, fingerprint recognition circuits are convenient and easy to use, as they require no additional equipment or tools.

What are some common applications of fingerprint recognition circuits?

Fingerprint recognition circuits have a wide range of applications, including access control for buildings, devices, and computers. They are also used in law enforcement for criminal identification, in mobile devices for unlocking and secure payment, and in border control for immigration purposes.

What are some potential challenges or limitations of fingerprint recognition circuits?

One potential challenge of fingerprint recognition circuits is the possibility of false positives or false negatives. This means that the circuit may incorrectly identify someone as a match or fail to identify a valid match. Other challenges may include environmental factors such as dirt or moisture affecting the fingerprint scan, as well as the need for regular maintenance and updates to ensure accuracy.
