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 →ON...off...ON...off...ON...off...ON...off...WE CAN'T STOP CLICKING THIS ON-OFF SWITCH! It has such a satisfying click and it works so well. Plus, it's just about perfect for charging your Raspberry Pi 4. Just hook up the standard USB end to a 5V 1A USB port power supply or 5V 2A USB port power supply and the USB-C end to a Raspberry Pi and you have a Pi with a switch.
This cable will also work with anything that has a USB-C port. This cable does not transfer data - so it's mostly just good for powering and charging devices - but adding an on/off switch to your power supply is a nice addition and one that we absolutely love clicking.
