Arduino and Fingerprint Module

Projects General Guidance

Hello everyone.

I'm new to this forum and I would like to know something.

I have an arduino mega and a fingerprint sensor, the adafruit code is perfectly fine but not quite what I need.

I need to make a lock controlled by the fingerprint but it should register the fingerprint without the serial to lock the box and when its unlocked the fingerprint database to reset, basically it will be a public box that anyone can use for an amount of time so there can be lots of people using it daily

Is it possible or should o look for something else
Thank you.

I'm open to any suggestion or advice

Maybe try to clarify what it is you actual mean by this:

"but it should register the fingerprint without the serial to lock the box and when its unlocked the fingerprint database to reset"

You made no mention of a database? (what kind? set-up how?.. how is connection made?)

Are you saying/asking that at some 'period of time' during the day...

*ANYONE can access the door/lock (if in public mode)? but you still want to LOG the fingerprints/attempts to this 'database'... but then when NOT in 'public access' mode.. only those 'registered/allowed' fingerprints should gain access?

Sorry, it was my mistake

I need a fingerprint lock for some safe boxes.

It will be in a public place, for example you will put your fingerprint and lock the box, when you will unlock it the box should forget the fingerprint then next person will come and do the same

Basically is a self service storage box with fingerprint lock
So anyone can use It

There is any way it can be done?

I'm not familiar with the fingerprint scanner you are using.. or its code/capabilities.

Does it allow for 'saving' the fingerprint?
Does it allow for you to index or 'call/load' these fingerprints back up?

I'm not very clear...

do you have to change the 'wiring' (connections) to 'enroll' (save) and change it again when 'searching' (querying)??

What adafruit code are you using? they have a 'lock box' tutorial...

I havent taken a look at either of the sketches... but thats what you need to do.. Combine the "enrollment" sketch with their Lock-Box sketch...
