Example Code for Arduino-Delete face (UART)

Hardware Preparation

• DFRduino UNO R3 (or similar) x 1
• Gravity: 3D Face Recognition Module - UART&I2C x1

Software Preparation

• Arduino IDE
• DFRobot_3DFace library

Wiring Diagram

Due to the high power consumption of the face recognition module, the working current is ≤400mA, and the maximum is about 2W. The VCC power supply of the Arduino digital interface cannot meet the demand. The VCC power supply of the analog port and IC2 interface can be used.

Switch the communication mode dial switch to the UART end

Other Preparation Work

Switch the communication mode dial switch to the UART end. Ensure the power supply meets the module's requirements (use Arduino's analog port or I2C interface VCC).

Result

Delete the specified ID face or all faces, and the serial port prints the corresponding data.
