Biometric Fingerprint Scanner

Post by carsonvac »

I recently bought the fingerprint scanner adafruit sells.
https://www.adafruit.com/products/751

I want to implement it in a prototype safe I am designing but I do not have a strong electrical background.
Essentially I am asking what is needed, beyond what I am bought, to make a fully functioning, biometric system for my product.
I.E. it enrolls, scans, and reads. Im sure it can be done with an arduino but they are very expensive. Is there a cheaper alternative out there, and if so does anyone know where I can read up on how to make it all happen?

Thanks in advance!

Take a look at this tutorial: https://learn.adafruit.com/biometric-security-box

It should at least give you ideas to get started.
