Bwahahaha! Guess who got their module last night!
I managed to weasel out a module in exchange for porting the driver to Gadgeteer! And boy was that a bargin!
After I was done turning the sweet blue light on and off I got round to the meat and potatoes of the module. This thing stores up to 200 fingerprints at once, can throw you scan data without saving, give you a grayscale image of a scan (in 2 different modes), detect fingers (actual fingers too, try as I might it refused to scan Eve’s nose), and is bang on reliable.
How reliable, you ask? I ran 300+ tests with 4 sets of hands, my 2 feet and even some counter measures I know like pressing down on cellophane to fool the sensor. I got 0, count them ZERO, false reads.
I’m sending out the driver to Versa Module tomorrow and I’ll be putting up a video as well. Look for the module on Versa’s site and mine. Betcha they put it on Creations too.
Am I over selling this? Maybe. But I seriously did spend HOURS just playing with it because its that dang cool.
