FYP 2 - Week 11

TESTING PROJECT

This is a result of the overall project after all testing, development and design finally has been successfully build and completed. This system can be used for house, office that used for door lock security using fingerprint. From picture below it shows when I has been successfully register or enroll the thumbprint and ready to access the house to access the system.

Fingerprint scanning to access the house

After the scanning fingerprint, the fingerprint sensor will identify and will process send to Arduino and will trigger solenoid to unlock the door, if not, the solenoid will lock until it gets a right thumbprint.

From picture below it shown the solenoid before scanning fingerprint the solenoid will lock and after the fingerprint the solenoid will unlock. It means, when a door via a solenoid, it is using basic electromagnetic forces to control the lock. The solenoid fits in the locking mechanism and, when locked, will expand so the device cannot be unlocked by sheer force. An electromagnetic force, such as a keycard, is needed to tell the solenoid to move, allowing the device to unlock and open.

Solenoid will lock before fingerprint scanning happen

Solenoid will unlock after successfully scanning

While the locking solenoid will keep the device locked, it is not technically on when in locking mode, because no power is being used. The solenoid only needs power when unlocking and, because most devices are consistently locked, very little energy is ever required by the solenoid. For this reason, most solenoids run on battery power, and the battery rarely needs to be changed, but in this project, the supply adapter is used for that battery.

After the fingerprint a solenoid process, the data fingerprint that user scan fingerprint from figure 4.10 will send to android application which is web server. Web servers are computers that deliver (serves up) Web pages. Every Web server has an IP address and possibly a domain name. For example, if users enter the URL http://192.168.0.2 in browser, this sends a request to the Web server whose domain name is 192.168.0.2. The server then fetches the page named 192.168.0.2 and sends it to browser.

After fingerprint scanning, the data will sent to android application to show I access the system

It shown the data user when I scanning fingerprint to enter the system. With this, I can only access that IP address from home. This means I must be connected to the same router that user has Ethernet shield is connected to. That picture is from I accessing webserver with my Android Smartphone.

FYP 2 - Week 10

MAKE MODIFICATION THE HOUSE PROTOTYPE TO MAKE MORE ATTRACTIVE

The modifications are:

• windows to make it like a real house
• Create a door
• Modified on the roof

Front House

the back house

FYP 2 - Week 9

BUILDING A PROTOTYPE OF FYP PROJECT

Steps of building a prototype 

• Find some design example of house on the internet. 
• The concept of the house will be in brown and white theme to make it more attractive.
• Can buy the materials at bookstore
• Next, design a wall for the front and the back of the house
• Make a base for put a project
• Lastly, make a roof and the roof is removable.

FYP 2 - Week 8(2)

TESTING FINGERPRINT 

First, download the Adafruit Fingerprint sensor library from github. To download click the ZIP button in the top bar, rename the uncompressed folder Adafruit_Fingerprint. Check that the Adafruit_Fingerprint folder contains Adafruit_Fingerprint.cpp and Adafruit_Fingerprint.h Place the Adafruit_Fingerprint library folder your /libraries/ folder. Users may need to create the libraries subfolder if it‟s first library. Restart the IDE.

Once we have restarted and we should be able to select the File→Examples→Adafruit_Fingerprint→fingerprint example sketch. Upload it to Arduino as usual. Open up the serial monitor at 9600 baud and when prompted place the finger against the sensor that was already enrolled.

You should see the following:

The 'confidence' is a score number (from 0 to 255) that indicates how good of a match the print is, higher is better. Note that if it matches at all, that means the sensor is pretty confident so you don't have to pay attention to the confidence number unless it makes sense for high security applications.

If you want to have a more detailed report, change the loop() to run getFingerprintID() instead of getFingerprintIDez() - that will give you a detailed report of exactly what the sensor is detecting at each point of the search process.

We did put together a simple sketch for enrolling a new finger via Arduino - its not as easy to use as the Windows program but it does work. Run the File→Examples→Adafruit_Fingerprint→enroll sketch and upload it to the Arduino, use the same wiring as above.

When you open up the serial monitor, it will ask for you to type in the ID to enroll - use the box up top to type in a number and click Send.

Then go through the enrollment process as indicated. When it has successfully enrolled a finger, it will print Stored!

Don't forget to do a search test when you're done enrolling to make sure its all good!

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ARDUINO AND RASPBERRY PI?

Arduino uses a microcontroller; Raspberry Pi uses an applications processor. There are some things a Raspberry Pi is better for, and loads of things an Arduino is more suited to. There’s a good potential between the Arduinos you might have in your at home, and your Raspberry Pi, which you can use to drive them.

The Arduino UNO is a microcontroller based physical computing platform. The Rasperry Pi is a microprocessor based single-board computer (SBC). The Arduino and the Raspberry Pi are more directly comparable in terms of form and function.

What that means in practical terms is mostly about S/W development:

• The nice thing about the microprocessor based Raspberry Pi / Arduino Due is that it is running linux.  You can program for it in C++, Java, python or some other language you may already be comfortable with.  You may indeed be able to take an application you already have and compile it to run on the Pi / Due without making any changes.
• With the Arduino Uno (et al), you would need to create a sketch in the Arduino language.  This is not hard - it looks very C-like.  It is just something you have to do.  There are a ton of libraries and classes for Arduino - so it is possible to make it do just about anything a home fingerprint project might want.

They are both very capable for a home fingerprint project.  I would worry over
