INTRODUCTION

Fingerprint identification is one of the most well known and common biometric

identification system. Because of their uniqueness & consistency over time,

fingerprints have been used for identification over a century, more recently

becoming automated due to advancement in computing capabilities.

So, here we are using the fingerprint identification technique for

maintaining the attendance record. We plan to maintain a record of the

prints of the various students in the database, and they shall be matched

and marked present when they swipe their fingerprints across the

scanner.

Fingerprint module details

This is a figure print sensor module with TTL UART interface for direct connections to microcontroller UART or to PC through MAX232 / USB-Serial adapter. The user can store the finger print data in the module and can configure it in 1:1 or 1: N mode for identifying the person.

The FP module can directly interface with 3v3 or 5v Microcontroller. A level converter (like MAX232) is required for interfacing with PC serial port.

Circuit

The fingerprint sensor is combination of R305 FP+PIC MCU board that can read different fingerprints and store in its own flash memory. The sensor can perform three functions namely

Add (Enroll), Empty Database or Search Database and return the ID of stored fingerprint. Any of three functions can be called simply by making the pin low of the sensor or pressing onboard three switches. The response is either error or ok which is indicated by onboard

LED. The response is also returned as single serial data byte. The return byte is a valid ID or error code. The response byte is a single byte at 9600 bps thus making whole sensor very easy to use.

We have provided indicating LEDs and function switch already so it’s ready to use when you receive it. Just give power and start using the sensor using onboard switches. Then you can

Features

 Easy to use

 Status LEDs

 Function Switches

 Single byte response

 Works at 5V

 UART 9600bps response Inputs and Outputs of Sensor

Input: Two ways to trigger the function of fingerprint sensor 1. Onboard switch: Add, Empty or Search.

2. Make pin low from external microcontroller for 5ms as per function required to be executed.

Outputs (Response): Two ways to monitor output response after a function is executed 1. Onboard LEDs: ERROR or OK

2. Read byte after executing function Types of function

There are namely three functions you can call for the fingerprint sensor. We will see each in brief. Add (Enroll) Function:Adds a fingerprint to database and return a byte of newly added ID. Return

values are from 0x00 to 0xFE. In case of error like no finger placed, return code is 0xFF. Here 0xFF means error executing function

Search Function: When a finger is put and search function is called, it returns a matching ID if found in its existing memory. Return values are from 0x00 to 0xFE. In case of error like no finger

placed, return code is 0xFF. Here 0xFF means error executing function.

Empty Function: When you wish to empty all fingerprint data stored on sensor you can use this function. After executing this function, you will get 0xCC as OK or 0xFF in case of error.

MAX 232 interface circuit

This circuit is needed to interface the fingerprint module to the PC. Next page contains the detailed

explanation.

MAX 232 board (photo from internet)

When a MAX232 IC receives a TTL level to convert, it changes a TTL Logic 0 to between

+3 and +15 V, and changes TTL Logic 1 to between -3 to -15 V, and vice versa for converting

from RS232 to TTL.

It operates at 5 Volt DC. There are always 4 capacitor with this IC, they are used as

voltage multiplier.
