Fingerprint Lock Using Arduino Mega 2560

Introduction

 
In this article, I will explain how to create a Fingerprint Lock using Arduino Mega 2560. It will be used to identify the same user in the same way that a fingerprint scanner works.
 
Parts
  • Fingerprint sensor
  • Arduino Mega 2560 
  • Servo motor
  • Jumper wires
Fingerprint Sensor
 
 
Figure 1: Fingerprint Sensor 
  • It is an electronic device and captures digital images.
  • The captured image is called a live scan. 
  • It simply identifies the fingerprint and gives the result.
  • It can easily match the fingerprint.
Connection:
 
Step 1: Connection From Servo Motor To Arduino Mega 2560,
  • The servo first pin can be connected to the Gnd.
  • The second pin can be connected to the VCC.
  • The third pin can be connected to the digital pin 06 of the Arduino Mega 2560. 
Step 2: Connection From Fingerprint Sensor To Arduino Mega 2560,
  • The Gnd pin of the fingerprint sensor to the Gnd of the Arduino Mega 2560
  • The Vcc pin of the fingerprint sensor to the 5v of the Arduino Mega 2560
  • The Rx pin can be connected to the A4 of the Arduino Mega 2560.
  • The Tx pin can be connected to the A5 of the Arduino Mega 2560.

  81.         Serial.print(finger.fingerID);  
  82.         Serial.print(" with confidence of ");  
  83.         DBG(finger.confidence);  
  84.     #endif  
  85.       
  86.     return finger.fingerID;  
  87. } 
Explanation:
  • When the fingerprint is the same, the sensor identifies it and prints the message as matched.
  • The servo motor also gets rotate to the 60-degree direction.
  • When fingerprints do not match, a message is sent as "Not Matched."
