Product Description
Product Description
The Waveshare UART Fingerprint Reader fingerprint sensor module is a compact biometric capture and matching module for identification systems. The UART Fingerprint Reader variant combines an optical fingerprint sensor with an onboard STM32F205 processor and a commercial fingerprint algorithm, allowing image capture, feature extraction, and comparison to be handled within the module.
Host connection is provided through a UART interface, making the module suitable for embedded systems, industrial controllers, and access control devices with relatively low integration effort. Based on the available source data, the key defined characteristics are the optical sensing method, the integrated processor, and the serial communication interface; unspecified detailed values should be verified against additional manufacturer documentation before design-in.
