Fingerprint Sensor AS608 - A Beginner's Guide
One touch can replace keys. This project uses an optical fingerprint sensor to enroll users and then grant access with a quick scan.
read tutorial →Starter grab-bag of parts for anyone getting into Arduino or Raspberry Pi. One box with the basics you burn through fast: breadboard, jumpers, LEDs, resistors, caps, plus a few sensors and modules to actually build something.
| Breadboard | 830-point x1, plus 50 jumper wires |
| LEDs | 40x (red/green/blue/yellow) + RGB |
| Resistors | 220R, 1K, 10K (10 each) |
| Capacitors | 10nF, 100nF ceramic + 100uF electrolytic |
| Modules | Buzzers, 7-seg + 4-digit display, 8x8 dot matrix, LM35, 74HC595, SG90 servo, thermistor, pot, buttons |
Comes in a compartment box so nothing gets lost. Good first kit before you start buying parts one at a time.
