Gravity: Capacitive Fingerprint Scanner/Sensor Arduino Wiki

Introduction

This is a capacitive fingerprint sensor with fingerprint collecting, processing, storing, and comparison integrated all-in-one. Taking ID809 high-performance processor and semiconductor fingerprint sensor as the core, the sensor is equipped with built-in IDfinger6.0 fingerprint algorithms that enable it to complete all the fingerprint recognition independently. When working with our Arduino Library, it is able to realize functions like fingerprint registration, fingerprint deletion, etc. Also, we provide upper computer software that helps users to operate this sensor.
This fingerprint sensor comes with round breathing LEDs and has a simple structure, small size, and delicate appearance. The sensor offers fast recognition speed and high security. What’s more, it supports 360-degree arbitrary angle recognition and deep self-learning function, high performance and low power consumption. Different from the SEN0348 Capacitive Fingerprint Sensor/Scanner, this module adopts Gravity interfaces that make it more easier to connect. In addition, it is 3.3V and 5V compliant, and supports I2C communication, which is very suitable for working with controllers like UNO, micro:bit, and so on.

Sample Code 5 - Comprehensive Examples

This example is a comprehensive application of fingerprint module, in which the module will enter into different modes according to the length of finger pressing time. When a finger pressed down, the blue light flashes 3 times to enter the fingerprint comparison mode; the yellow light flashes 3 times to enter the fingerprint registration mode; the red light flashes 3 times to enter the fingerprint deletion mode to delete the fingerprint. This experiment needs to connect IRQ pin to D6.
