Getting Started with the Fingerprint Sensor

Here's a video guide to getting started with our fabulous fingerprint sensor! In addition to the detailed photo/software tutorial, we hope it'll help you set up your sensor easily!

Quite expensive for what it is - but I can see uses for it: locking doors for some children (ie not allowing them into the kitchen) without requiring keys all the time, for example. I'm thinking of incorporating one into a home-theatre system, to enforce age-restriction of programmes.

best video please never stop to any video in you tube, it will help more than billion people
thanks a lot it help me a lot

This is amazing. I am a huge fan of the work and ingenuity that goes into the adafruit products. I have used the RGB negative LCD and the LCD display shield in my fire alarm control panel that I made with my arduino UNO, your shield and LCD, some relays, and batteries. all I need is to learn how to use EEPROMS with Arduino and then I'll be set. thank you for doing what you do to make our projects possible.

Hello, am stuck. I have attached all the wires as shown in the video even when I upload it to board the fingerprint sensor lights when I am using the ENROLL example then it is always giving the same error in the output. i.e. "Adafruit Fingerprint sensor enrollment
Did not find fingerprint sensor :(
"
I don't know why. Please help me with this

[legaspi]

how are we going to make fingerprint data to be accessed for user maintenance such as (add, delete, etc)? thanks!

[ItsVannah]

could you make a video on how to use this with the solonoid to lock a safe? it would be awesome sauce if you did!

Hi, I've been learning about this and want to ask if is there a way to storage fingerprint in another space besides the one that the sensor bring (to have more fingerprints)?

[sikz]

Hmmm, so the sensor stores the finger print data.... is there a way to export this? I'm thinking of having multiple modules reading from the same db of stored fingerprints

[cicilytg]

what do you mean 'connect power and ground', how do i do this? do i need extra wires? if so do they need to be specific wires? are they jumper wires ?

[yogeshlulla]

Can you please help that how can I access and extract data of this fingerprint print sensor as I need them to be uploaded on cloud.

[SandroMiccoli]

Each fingerprint ID is 512 bytes long?

Can I generate the ID without saving it to the flash memory?

Thanks and congrats for the great work!

Suddenly appeared in my recommendations, check this finger sensor from 9 years ago out lol
I am wondering whether there is any improved version of this sensor recently?

Congratulations for the guide.
I wanted to ask is it possible to take the imprint of the whole finger and not just the central part?

[debayandas]

Can it be used with other microcontrollers, like the TIVA C series?

[metrocityproductions]

Can you do this on a lock for a locker? I could screw open the lock and put the motherboard inside of it? Is there a size for it or do I have to make a custom size?

[nickschreiber]

Is it possible to just save and write new Images in this Fingerprintsensor, without connecting to PC? Just using Arduino and some Keys? So you can Login say Number 100 and delete it or you can login and say new finger? Is it possible or is the header from adafruit not enough to do this with the Arduino directly? Is there any possibility?

[madhukeshnp]

nice tutorial. please make a video on fingerprint sensor and rfid combined lock. that would be awsome. please it's a request. thank you in advance

[rismaco]

according to the coding, will i able to assign different work to different fingerprint? 

[hedgehogtitan]

It is possible to get a list of all the components used for the LCD section? Perhaps even the code used? I'm not very tech savy when it comes to these kind of things

[normanpanashe]

how do you connect this fingerprint to an esp3 module
