M5Stack Fingerprint Unit FPC1020A
The Finger Print Unit from M5Stack is a fingerprint scanner. With the fingerprint sensor, you can easily create access control or an electronic door lock. This all-in-one fingerprint sensor makes adding, verifying, and managing fingerprints very easy. The Uart protocol, compact size, and low power consumption make the sensor very attractive for use with the M5Stack series. The sensor allows for quick fingerprint matching at the highest security level and easy operation.
This unit communicates with the M5Core via the UART protocol and is connected to the M5Core through PORTC.
