WORKING OF FINGERPRINT

DOOR LOCK
Basically, fingerprint locks operate by scanning and converting your fingerprint data into a
numerical template.
Once you place your finger onto the scanner for the first time the conversion into numerical
data takes place, and the fingerprint template is saved. This process is then repeated every time
you want to grant someone access. The next time someone places his/her finger on the sensor,
it matches the data obtained through the finger with the pre-saved values. If a match is found,
access is granted and the door opens. On the other hand, if its someone else trying to get
through, access is not allowed and the door remains locked. Simple, no?
Now, matching the algorithm is the most important process here. This is usually achieved by
the Minutia matching process. In this, several minutia points are located on your fingers pads,
along with their position and direction when you register for the first time. This information is
stored in the memory. While matching, the already stored fingerprint template is compared to
the received input. If there is a match, a green LED usually signals it and the door is opened. The
process is very quick and is completed in a fraction of a second. In case you are wondering, two
instances of friction ridge skin impressions together constitute a minutia.

WORKING OF ARDUINO UNO A3:

The Arduino Uno R3 is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328 (datasheet). It has 14
digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs).Input Voltage (limits): 6-
20V.
The programing is done under arduino software.
We can understand the woking of Arduino by the below diagram:

Blinking LED:

Steps in building a breadboard connection:

Step-1: Connect the Arduino to the Windows / Mac / Linux system via a USB cable
Step-2: Connect the 13th digital pin of Arduino to the positive power rail of the breadboard and
GND to the negative
Step-3: Connect the positive power rail to the terminal strip via a 1K ohm resistor
Step-4: Fix the LED to the ports below the resistor connection in the terminal strip
Step-5: Close the circuit by connecting the cathode (the short chord) of the LED to the negative
power strip of the breadboard.

WORKING OF SERVO:

A servo is attached to the key with a nut and bolt. It has a reed switch so the door will
be locked when it's closed. It has a button on the inside handle so the lock can be opened from
the inside, and a fingerprint reader outside of the door.

BUZZER:

 We are going to use a buzzer to indicate the valid access to open the door.
