AI Thread Summary
A user is developing a fingerprint security system and seeks assistance with identifying components and understanding circuit functionality. The SM630 fingerprint module is highlighted for its capability to store fingerprints and manage access control. The process involves scanning a finger after pressing an add button, followed by verification to control a relay for locking mechanisms. If the fingerprint is recognized, access is granted; if not, a buzzer sounds and access is denied. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding both the circuit and the code running on the microcontroller for successful implementation.

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...

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.

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
Thread 'How Does Jaguar's 1980s V12 Dual Coil Ignition System Enhance Spark Strength?'
I have come across a dual coil ignition system as used by Jaguar on their V12 in the 1980's. It uses two ignition coils with their primary windings wired in parallel. The primary coil has its secondary winding wired to the distributor and then to the spark plugs as is standard practice. However, the auxiliary coil has it secondary winding output sealed off. The purpose of the system was to provide a stronger spark to the plugs, always a difficult task with the very short dwell time of a...
