Hello, So I have two 12v door locks on an arduino relay, using an rfid, a buzzer
and three lights blue for program tag, red for locked, and green for open. I don't really know enough about circutry to try and
charge like 3 18650s from the 12v, and then i'd have to worry about backing
up the arduino's 9v as well. Idk, my chips keep on dying on me and then I'll have to
run downstairs to flip the breaker to get into my room anyway. I was thinking about investing in a fingerprint sensor. But I've been thinking about the phones with facial recognition software, could you import one of those libraries to the arduino ide? Solder a camera from an old cell phone to the arduino tinned wires? Would be useful for a security system as well.

Re: Connecting a Camera to Arduino or other Microcontroller.
To really be secure you'd have to do like an end frame detection, I wouldn't even know where to start, so a person couldn't use a picture. And detect against them covering the camera.

A fingerprint sensor would be fairly straightforward. https://learn.adafruit.com/biometric-se ... x/overview
An Arduino would not have sufficient memory or processing power to do much in the way of image processing. A Raspberry Pi would be the better platform for that.

Re: Connecting a Camera to Arduino or other Microcontroller.
Do you have a guide for this anywhere? Could you use an old android board like a pi?

Re: Connecting a Camera to Arduino or other Microcontroller.
Do you have a wiring diagram for a 9v or 12v backup circuit, Id like to make it rechargeable, but I feel like regular batteries might just be easiest.

We have a face recognition lock-box guide here: https://learn.adafruit.com/raspberry-pi ... easure-boxDo you have a guide for this anywhere?
Probably. But we do not have any guides on that subject.Could you use an old android board like a pi?

We just have the PowerBoost boards which are 5v.Do you have a wiring diagram for a 9v or 12v backup circuit, Id like to make it rechargeable, but I feel like regular batteries might just be easiest.
