Rectangle-shaped All-In-One Capacitive Fingerprint Sensor (F), Cortex Processor, UART And USB Communication
UART Fingerprint Sensor (F)
High-precision | UART & USB communication | LED indicator | All-In-One

Features
Based on a high-performance Cortex processor, combined with high-security commercial fingerprinting algorithm, the UART Fingerprint Sensor (F) features functionalities like fingerprint enrolling, image acquisition, feature finding, fingerprint matching, and so on. Without any knowledge about the complicated fingerprinting algorithm, all you need to do is just send some UART commands, to quickly integrate it into fingerprint verification applications which require small size and high precision.
| Easy to use with simple commands; no need to understand fingerprint technology or internal structure |
| Commercial fingerprint algorithm supporting enrolling, matching, image acquisition, and feature uploading with stable, fast performance |
| Capacitive sensitive detection; light touch enables fast verification |
| Highly integrated hardware with processor and sensor in a compact chip suitable for small applications |
| Embedded human sensor: auto sleep mode and touch-wake for lower power consumption |
| Onboard collecting window indicator for fingerprint capture notification |
| Onboard UART and USB dual communication interfaces |
| Supports PC connection for upper-computer software and compatible with embedded platforms like STM32 and Raspberry Pi |
