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.

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?
While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
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...
