The heat of the Year End and the New Year hustle has calmed down.
But I've been struggling with my private project, which is a Fingerprint Scanner, namely GT-521F32.
Anyway, finally I could come up with the initial working version.
Although we've already been familiar with a Fingerprint Scanner with iPhones and Smartphones,
I wanted to play with one. And I found a reasonable priced one.
Fingerprint Scanner - TTL (GT-521F32) - SEN-14518 - SparkFun Electronics
So I gave a try, since it is connected via UART, it seems to be easy to handle.
Well, communicating with module was easy, but control the device was another story (at least to me).
The schematic looks like
According to the programming guide term, to register a finger print is "enroll".
Since finding 200 person sounds difficult, I used a few of my fingers to try.
I enrolled my left thumb as 0, left index as 1, right thumb as 2, right index as 3...
To enroll a finger, the device requires us to release and touch the finger 3 times.
Then we can identify a finger (print) if it's enrolled or verify if enrolled finger can be verified correctly.

Thanks for sharing the project. I tried to apply the project with psoc 4 pioneer kit ( CY8CKIT-042) and I got two errors :
ERROR: region RAM overflowed with stack
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
The command 'arm-none-eabi-gcc.exe' failed with exit code '1'.
Could you tell me what is wrong. Thanks

Hi,
In general 042 has very limited memory size
FYI
CY8CKIT-042 SRAM 4KB Flash 32KB
CY8CKIT-044 SRAM 16KB Flash 128KB
CY8CKIT-046 SRAM 32KB Flash 256KB
Anyway, I found a few problems to compile my project with CY8CKIT-042
(1) UART module does not support byte mode, I just set it off
(2) SRAM overflow, CY8CKIT-042 has only 4KB instead of 16KB of CY8CKIT-044
So, I tried to reduce the size of buffer for string and command.
And I could compile the project.
But I have not tested the code, because I left the sensor at my home,
so if you don't mind would you test it with your system?
I assigned
UART (for PC) rx: P4[0] tx: P4[1]
Note: Please jumper these to the on board PSoC 5LP P12[7], P12[6]
FPS rx: P3[0] tx[ P3[1], ICPCK P2[7]

Hi, thanks for having the time to make some changes to the code!
I actually tried it but still getting some errors as shown in the attached screenshot. It seems that it is not enrolling my finger ID.
All I want is to enroll my fingerprint ID. Then, the FPR will wait for my fingerprint to be scanned. Whenever it accepts it, a servo motor should spin so the door can be unlocked. The following is the code I wrote for spinning the servo motor:
#include "project.h"
int main(void)
{
PWM_Servo_Start();
int i = 12000;
while (i == 12000)
{
PWM_Servo_WriteCompare(i);
i++;
CyDelay(504);
if (i > 12000)
{
PWM_Servo_WriteCompare(0);
}
}
}
Also, the project of controlling the servo motor is attached here.

Dear Salom-san,
I must apologize you about this,
when I tried to build and run this project on CY8CKIT-042,
I noticed that the program is running out the memory.
although it could be built, almost no working space was left
in the SRAM.
So I'm afraid that this program can not be run on CY8CKIT-042.
Please consider using CY8CKIT-044 or CY8CKIT-046 kind of boards.

Dear Salom-san,
I have just posted a sample program of using SG-90.

Thank you very much for this modification. I managed to get it working on my friend's 44 kit.
I also tried using the arduino with the same fingerprint scanner and could get it working.
I wonder what would be the reason that it works well on the arduino but not on my CY8CKIT-042 kit even though the arduino has 2k bytes of SRAM while the CY8CKIT-042 kit has 4k bytes of SRAM! Is it something that has to do with the code efficiency which would cause a high usage in the SRAM? or what would be the reason?
I am new to the PSoC and Arduino world.
Thank you again for your input. I really appreciate it.
Salom,

Dear Salom-san,
Reading your message, I checked the Arduino sample.
In their sample, they have not implemented all template and Image related functions,
which I tried to implement in my version, not fully tested though.
The template itself require 498 byte, which is already 1/4 of Arduino memory,
so probably it was impossible for Aruduino.
Meantime, if all you need to do is same thing with what Arduino version does,
we may be able to remove all these functions, which should reduce required memory a lot.
Attached is my project modified for CY8CKIT-042 and removed all template related functions
along with "template" data.
It could be built, but as we are in the middle of 10 days national holidays in Japan
and unfortunately I don't have the sensor with me right now,
I could not test it, so please let me know if it works for you or not.

Happy holiday!
Your latest edit works! I connected the fingerprint scanner and servo motor and got them to work.
The issue I am running into is that I am restricted with sending commands and communicating with the fingerprint through the terminal. I tried to edit the functions in main.c so I can have the fingerprint to be working all the time and waiting for my fingerprint ID without the need to use the terminal. But I end up getting some code errors!
Please check the attached project that has the servo motor code with it.
Thank you again!

Dear Salom-san,
It seems that you are almost there!
I touched up your code a little as
(1) I added following functions
int doServo(void) ;
void run_servo(int x) ;
void stop_servo(void) ;
(2) doServo is now added in the command list
so if you enter "servo" to the prompt, the program will enter in servo mode.
As I made this mode an infinite loop, you need push reset button to exit from this loop.
You may be register a special finger and let the loop exit if that finger is identified.
(3) As usual, I could not test the program, I only could make sure that the program is compile-able.
Hoping that this can be a little hint for you 😉

Hi!
Is there any way i could port over this component to my PSoC5 CY8C5888LTI-LP09768 specifically
If theres any way that would be possible i would appreciate it!

Hi,
I tried with CY8CKIT-059 (and a CY8CKIT-044 as a 3.3V and 5.0V power supply).
Schematic
Note: FPS_TX (P3[1]) of CY8CKIT-059 should not be connect directly to the RX of RU94V.
I used 3 x 1kOhm resisters to divide the 5V signal to (around) 3V signal.
Since RU94V's TX and ICPCK are output, I just decided to go with it,
but it would be nicer if you can apply level shifter (5V<->3.3V) between all these signals.

moto-san,
I'm very interested in your finger-print project.
Question: I thought the SIO port (Port 12) on the PSoC5 has a level shifter without need for external resistors. The PSoC5LP is one of the few offerings from Cypress with this feature. Bravo to the IC designers!
I added a VDAC8 set to 3.3V as a vref for the SIO pins.
I changed the FPS_RX, FPS_TX and ICPCK pins to pins on port 12 to make use of the Input and Output level shifting.
I've attached a modified version of your project with these changes if you're interested.
Once I can buy a GT-521F32 I plan to try your project. I'm a little tight on funds. The possibilities!!!
Do you think the comm interface to the FPS makes sense as a component?

Dear Len-san,
I tried your trick.
Although I have a little concern about P12[0] as it has a pull-up
I went ahead and tried.
Yes, it worked OK.
Still CY8CKIT-044 (or other external power supply of 3.3V (and 5V)) was required,
at least we could save 3 resistors 😉

moto-san,
Thanks for the feedback.
Yes. On the CY8CKIT-059, P12[0] has a switched pull up on the KitProg board. It is switched through a FET using port P2[6] on the KitProg. I've never checked if P2[6] was active only when the KitPRog I2C mode was enabled.
I made a slight change to the project I sent you. I moved FPS_RX from P12[0] to P12[3]. There were no complaints from the Application build phase. This should eliminate the pullup on the KitProg.
If you still would like to use P12[0] here's some thoughts:
Either way, a 2.2K ohm pullup on would limit any possible reverse current into the FPS_RX output of the FPS to <0.7mA. Usually not enough to cause latchup conditions especially since this is configured as an output on the FPS.
If you wanted to avoid the pullup, you could place both the PSoC inputs (FPS_RX and ICPCK) on GPIO pins but configured as LVTTL level inputs. With LVTTL, the Vih threshold is 2.0 (min) and the Vil is 0.8V (max). The PSoC output would still have to stay on the SIO with the Vref at 3.3V.
I can't wait until I can get this FPS for myself. I've always wanted to upgrade my home security system.

Hi!
Thanks alot for doing this!
I have one more question though!
Could you post a picture of the circuit setup?
Thanks!

Hi
Picture
Circuit Diagram (or something like that)
Note: As CY8CKIT-059 does not have 3.3V out,
I used CY8CKIT-044 as a power supply.

P.S. I'm going to try Len-san's trick later... 😉

To all,
I finally purchased the GT-521F32. I used a modified version of the project uploaded here and it works!!!
However I may have found an undocumented issue with the GT-521F32 module (FPS).
My GT-521F32 power on the UART QWIIC connector is powered directly with 5V from the PSoC.
After issuing multiple commands to the FPS, it stopped responding and returned "Recv DWord Timed out!". The FPS basically stopped responding to commands.
I issued a "Close" command. Same result.
I reset the PSoC using the reset button on the KitProg board. Same result on re-entering main().
I finally had to power down the PSoC. Because the FPS was powered off the PSoC, this reset the FPS. This worked and corrected the problem.
The issue is that the FPS module has NO reset signal in any of the two QWIIC connectors. It appears that it is possible to "confuse" the FPS. How did I confuse it? I don't know.
I'm going to have to put a FPS VDD power transistor to force a power reset to FPS in case of a detected comm "No response" lockup.
I have found a way to get this comm lockup.
- Change the FPS baud rate (ex. 19200).
- communicate to the FPS. Success.
- reset the PSoC without power cycling.
- communicate to the FPS. Received the error "Recv Dword Timed out". This is because the FPS baudrate was changed before the PSoC reset. You can't change the baudrate on the FPS back to 9600 but the reset of the PSoC dropped it's baud back down to the default 9600.
It would be useful if the designers of the GT-521F32 module had a HW reset signal. That way, you wouldn't need a silicon switch (transistor or FET) to power cycle the FPS.

Dear Vijeeshchimbu-san,
Since this is an Infineon device community and at least I am not familiar with Arduino,
I'm afraid that we won't be able to help you a lot.
Having written above, when I googled "Arduino GT-521F32) I sound a page like below
it may be able to provide you better information.
