Furthermore, I extensively studied the ESP32 pinout and successfully embarked on a simple LED project. Prior to that, I ensured that the ESP32 boards were properly set up in the Arduino software's board manager. Additionally, I explored the functionality of the Finger Print Sensor (AS608) that will play a vital role in my project.

The fingerprint sensor enables the scanning of fingerprints, with the processed data being transmitted to a microcontroller via a serial connection. This module is equipped to store a maximum of 250 unique fingerprints and can perform authentication by comparing scanned fingerprints with the stored data. The AS608 fingerprint sensor boasts the following key features:

  • Fingerprint Storage: Capable of storing up to 250 unique fingerprints.
  • High Accuracy: Provides reliable and accurate fingerprint matching.
  • Fast Identification: Rapidly processes and matches fingerprints for quick authentication.
  • Secure Communication: Utilizes a serial connection to securely transmit fingerprint data.
  • Wide Operating Voltage Range: Supports a broad voltage range for compatibility with various microcontrollers.
  • Easy Integration: Offers a straightforward interface for seamless integration into projects.
  • Robust Construction: Designed with durability in mind to withstand repeated use.
  • Wide Application Scope: Suitable for a range of applications requiring fingerprint-based security and authentication.

The AS608 fingerprint sensor combines convenience, security, and reliable performance, making it an ideal choice for incorporating fingerprint authentication into my project.

This week, I encountered an issue with the LCD display in my project. Upon initial testing, as shown in Figure 1, the LCD was unable to display any content. After conducting a thorough troubleshooting process, I discovered that the problem stemmed from the weak internet connection between the ESP32 and the cloud. To resolve this, I decided to switch to a different Wi-Fi connection with a stronger signal. The positive outcome of this adjustment can be seen in Figure 2, where the LCD successfully displays the desired information. Figure 1 Figure 2

After programming and testing the website, it was time to make the casing for the project. I bought a case from Mr DIY, a popular hardware store.  I sized the case to fit the LCD panel, keypad, fingerprint scanner, and servo motor. I had to be accurate so each component fit with the casing. I wanted people to easily access all functions. I slowly cut the case with following the measurement of my components. The detail was essential throughout. I needed to ensure the LCD are clear to seeing, the keypad had enough area for comfortable use, the fingerprint scanner was conveniently positioned for authentication, and the servo motor had enough room to function without obstructions.  I wanted the hardware and software to work together. The improved of the casing will protect internal components and looked good to users. It has to be ergonomic, functional, and attractive.  All the processes can be seen below.
