Asuming you mean the conenctor, it's a 20 pin connector, but some are common. 1,11,13,14 and 20 appear to be ground. See it on the right side of the photo.Originally Posted by DaveW
Along the bottom and the left side )partially covered by the barcode label) are evenly spaced via holes, which presumably connect to the pad itself.
No point picturing the other side, it's just plain black.
PM me your address and it's yours. Even if you don't use it in this project, I can tell you would love to mess with it...
I've sent xmastree my address, because you can never have too much apparently useless junk electronics.

This can be done with several narrow beam LED's, a piece of perspex, an interesting background image, and a touch sensor. You place the touch sensor behind the "fingerprint scanner" and when you touch the scanner itself, using a microcontroller you can program it to "scroll" the LED's up and down as if its reading the finger. The trick is to get the LED's to show in rows and have each LED 'row' flicker on and off for a brief time. This simulates a scanning action and avoids moving parts.Originally Posted by Nagoshi
But I like the rotating actuator switch with the spinning biohazard type thingie that I dont completely understand idea.
