| Fingerprint Entry System!
Well, after a few months of working on my project every waking moment - its finished.
A valid fingerprint locks and unlocks the doors, flashes the parking lamps and it even has a red security flashing LED. There is also a low battery indicator and a trunk open option. The system also flashes parking lamps and stuff when the interior lock switches are used. There is also a horn output. For security purposes, the print can only be enrolled when the doors are unlocked with a key switch. Now, I can graduate!
The picture shows the door that conceals the sensor, and 3 indicator LEDs. It looks red, but it is actually orange in person.

| Here are some more pictures...
I used a microcontroller for most of it - programmed the scanner with a computer. | |

| With the scanner door closed, there is a switch to shut it off and save power. The scanner automatically detects a finger - which has to be alive in order to be valid. There is also a small heater on the inside when it gets below 10 degrees. | |

| Here is the box that would sit under the seat.. or somewhere. its about 4"x4". The large squares are relays to control the locks, lamp, horn, and trunk. The trunk opens if the door is locked and you scan your finger to unlock it twice within 6 seconds. | |

| The sensor completes a circuit with the skin's live layer underneath the surface. Some other scanners even check body temperature, pulse, and blood oxygen level, but they werent available at the time.
The only problem with selling these is that Purdue owns part of it since i developed it for a class. That, and the installation process is a pain. It would be easier to have these be original equipment. | |

| does the scanner send out a unique code for each fingerprint, and the microproc have stored ones in memory to compare it too?
thats great, im an EE too. | |

| ohohblita:
The scanner has a DSP connected to it. The DSP board processes and stores the fingerprints in memory. 200 prints can be stored to be compared with a newly scanned print. The microcontroller processes a verified print and controls the LEDs, locks, etc. To enroll a print, RS232 communication between the microconrtoller and DSP board is required. | |

| That is cool but if someone wants to get into your car they will just break the window, use a slim-jim, or *now* cut your finger off. | |

| very nice indeed; now if you can work that box into something smaller and more practicle and keep the validation for something inside the car such as the starter or whatnot that would be excellent.
either way, until you can control the car from a distance away i'm not impressed........... 
j.k. very nice work; something i would love to see in action. good job! :hail: | |

Did you put the reflector/lamp in the front bottom of the door, or did you find some really rare door somewhere?

| '87FAKE-IROC-Z: I put the lamp in myself. Its amazing how many times I have used my Dremel in the past few months.
Kandied91z: My next step would be to have fingerprint ignition - then having a key would be nearly obscolete (except if the battery dies). As far as making it smaller, that could easilly be done - probably half the size.
WS - 666: They could cut your finger off.... except they would be pissed when it didn't work - the finger has to be alive.
DABE: I spent quite a bit on the prototype, but that includes the door and all of that. If i were to mass produce them they would be from around $350-$400.
