need help making fingerprint scanner
- Thread starter weno
- Start date
leds dont look nice i have tried it.. i was thinking a bright light and a metal piece with a slit in it moves with a motor but i was hoping to find something that has this that i can salvage out of a item..
I'd have said a handheld scanner for a computer but sadly you have to move them over the pages by hand. You'd have to have a small motor that moves it one way and then kicks into reverse when it gets to the other end. Try these places:
Electronic Goldmine - Electronic Components, Parts, Test Equipment, Kits, Goldmine.
All Electronics | Electronic and Electro-Mechanical Parts and Supplies at Discount Prices
They have tons of stuff that might help.

i was hoping someone has seen a external fingerprint scanner that actually "scans (moves back and forth"
cant use a ipod too big... this item is small... i need to find a actual mech... i cant put a big screen the biggest that can go is a ipod nano
I'm amazed that line of spy toys for kids didn't make one. They have nightvision goggles and spy cameras so it would make sense.

they're all pricey and not sure you could use any of them but there's a ton of them.

I have a Microsoft keyboard with a built-in fingerprint scanner. When you place your finger on the scanner, the light flashes, to let you know it's been scanned. ANd it actually works - I've had all my family members try to get in to my machine and they can't because of the scanner.
It's a couple of years old, so maybe you can find one for cheap and scavenge the scanner. The scanner window is about 2"h x 1.5"w.

Get some footage of one in action, convert the file and transfer it to the nano
perhaps. Sounds like your gunna be very resticted in a motorised sense with the space you have available.

Piggy backing off of this, get one of those cheap chinese Video Mp3 players and build a case around that.

Why not take a cheap keychain laser pointer apart and mount the laser to a small low power motor (like a cheap electric toothbrush)? You would need a filter (lots of laser pointers come with them) that spreads the dot into a line. The gears on a toothbrush are already set up to do a "scan" motion. You just need to slow it down. Perhaps with the addition of the laser consuming some of the power, it will move slow enough to do a quick "scan" pass.
hmm if thats a good enough motor i can attach a metal plate with a slit in it to get my desired effect... toothbrushes i thought were vibrating motors so set foward and back... just a rumble motor

Thats exactly what i did for a VK machine project ages ago, i bet the screens etc are much better now.

They can be made to look nice with proper installation and diffusion, but there is R&D time that can make the cost skyrocket...
As others have said a small Asian mp4 player is the easiest solution...
