A fun sensor to play with
about 4 months ago by Member #115738 verified purchaser
PROS:The OLED/pro mini/GT combo make for a nice compact fingerprint reader.
CONS: The Sparkfun video is a really neat demo that inadvertently hid the wiring details…. so when you wire
this up, start with the Arduino source files (demo), the wiring details are in the opening header.
Overall this is a technology that is worth having in your “bag of tricks”

In 2003, CU student Nate Seidle fried a power supply in his dorm room
and, in lieu of a way to order easy replacements, decided to start his
own company. Since then, SparkFun has been committed to sustainably
helping our world achieve electronics literacy from our headquarters in
Boulder, Colorado.
No matter your vision, SparkFun's products and resources are designed
to make the world of electronics more accessible. In addition to over
2,000 open source components and widgets, SparkFun offers
curriculum, training and online tutorials designed to help demystify the
wonderful world of embedded electronics. We're here to help you start
something.
