1 Research Background

4
◦ The previous research stated that a
portable finger scanner, on its own, does
not have the system to process and save
the received data. To amend that
situation, this research was conducted. The
main goal of this research is to
complement the portable finger scanner
by creating a system that is able to
receive, process, and save the data that
have been sent from said portable finger
scanner.

Research Purpose

1. Create a design of gateway system

for Portable Finger Scanner
2. To ensure this prototype can
receive data from Portable
Finger Scanner within the desired
distance.

UART HDMI

LoRa Raspberry Pi Display

Design Specification :
USB Micro B
◦ Raspberry Pi 3
Power Model B
Suppy
◦ LoRa E32-TTL-100
433 MHz
◦ LCD TFT 3.5”
◦ Power Supply 5V 2A

Program Design

◦ Flow Chart

◦ The data transmission feature via LoRa uses a Fix

Mode format that contains six sub data consisting
of two initial data as the target address, the third
data as the target channel, and the last three
default data, which means filled according to
planning needs.
16
Trials

◦ Testing the hardware

with the program that
has been created and
try whether the
hardware can receive,
store, and process the
data from Portable
Finger Scanner.

◦ Distance trials more

than 30 meters

Program Result

◦ The program is created using Thonny, an

built-in Python-IDE in Raspberry Pi.
◦ The program is created according to the
planned flowchart.
◦ The LoRa modules is set to receive data
with the following result :

1. The first three data are addresses and channels

which will become a reference for LoRa modules in
Portable Finger Scanners.
2. The last three data are sorted as device identity,
operating mode, and fingerprint identity.

5 Conclusion

28
◦ The gateway system for
portable finger scanner was
able to be created successfully
in accordance with the plan.
Every mode of the system
works as intended. Moreover,
the device surpassed the
desired working range of 30m.
