Grove - Capacitive fingerprint scanner / sensor

Grove - Capacitive fingerprint scanner

Description:

The Grove capacitive fingerprint scanner/sensor is based on the KCT203 semiconductor fingerprint recognition module. It offers many advantages such as small size, small fingerprint template, low power consumption, high reliability and fast fingerprint recognition. The module contains a beautiful RGB light that indicates the success of fingerprint recognition.

The system has a powerful fingerprint algorithm and a remarkable self-learning function. After each successful fingerprint recognition, the latest challenge feature values are integrated into the fingerprint database to continuously improve the functions.

The module can work with 3.3V and 5V systems. With the Grove UART connector and the included Arduino library, you can easily build your own Arduino fingerprint sensor/scanner. 

Features:

• Built-in 2 Kbyte memory: Supports up to 100 fingerprints
• Powerful self-learning function: The more you use, the more accurate the recognition is
• Selectable security level: Can identify biological features, identify living bodies only
• Low power consumption: Small size, low power consumption, 10 uA for standby mode
• Grove compatible interface: The product ensures "plug and play" and could be versatile for various applications of Grove

Applications:

• Fingerprint lock devices: door locks, safes, steering wheel locks, padlocks, gun locks, etc.
• Fingerprint login, access control system

What is Grove?

Grove facilitates connection, experimentation and simplifies the prototyping process. No jumpers or soldering are required. More than 300 Grove modules have been developed to cover a wide range of applications and meet a variety of requirements. Not only the hardware is open source, but also the software. 

We offer various Grove shields to enable a connection to the Grove system with various microcontrollers.
