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 →The Adafruit STEMMA QT / Qwiic JST SH 4-Pin Cable is a simple plug-and-play cable for connecting I2C sensors, drivers, and breakout boards. It is made for STEMMA QT and SparkFun Qwiic boards, making it easier to build projects without soldering or messy jumper wires.
This cable is a little over 100mm / 4 inches long and has JST-SH female 4-pin connectors on both ends. It uses a smaller 1mm pitch connector, giving it a compact fit while still being easy to insert and remove. The cable is also symmetrical, so either side can plug into your board.
Wire Color Guide:
Best for:
STEMMA QT boards, Qwiic boards, I2C sensors, compact electronics projects, Arduino projects, Raspberry Pi projects, and quick prototyping.
