MikroE GTS-511E2 Fingerprint Click Module Instruction Manual
1. Introduction
Fingerprint click™ is a click board solution for adding biometric security to
your design. It carries the GTS-511E2 module, which is the thinnest optical
touch fingerprint
sensor in the world. The module comprises a CMOS image sensor with a special
lens and covering that records real fingerprints while resitsing 2D fakes. The
click™ board also carries an STM32 MCU for processing the images and
forwarding them to an external MCU or PC.
2. Soldering the headers
-
Before using your click™ board, make sure to solder 1×8 male headers to both left and right side of the board. Two 1×8 male headers are included with the board in the package.
-
Turn the board upside down so that the bottom side is facing you upwards. Place shorter pins of the header into the appropriate soldering pads
-
Turn the board upward again. Make sure to align the headers so that they are perpendicular to the board, then solder the pins carefully.
3. Plugging the board in
Once you have soldered the headers your board is ready to be placed into the
desired mikroBUS™ socket. Make sure to align the cut in the lower-right part
of the board with
the markings on the silkscreen at the mikroBUS™ socket. If all the pins are
aligned correctly, push the board all the way into the socket.
4. Essential features
Fingerprint click™ can communicate with the target board MCU through UART (TX, RX) or SPI (CS, SCK, MISO, MOSI) lines. However it also carries a mini USB connector for connecting the click™ board to a PC — which will generally be a more suitable platform for developing fingerprint recognition software, due to the processing powers required for comparing and matching inputs to a large database of existing images. The board is also lined with additional GPIO pins giving more access to the onboard STM32. Fingerprint click™ is designed to use a 3.3V power supply.

7. Windows app
We created a Windows application that provides an easy interface for communicating with Fingerprint click™. The code is available on Libstock so you can use it as a starting point for developing more sophisticated software. Alternatively, the DLL files that control the onboard module are also available, so you can develop your own app from scratch.
8. Code examples
Once you have done all the necessary preparations, it’s time to get your
click™ board up and running. We have provided examples for mikroC™,
mikroBasic™ and mikroPascal™
compilers on our Libstock website. Just download them and you are ready to
start.
9. Support
MikroElektronika offers free tech support (www.mikroe.com/support) until the
end of the product’s lifetime, so if something goes
wrong, we’re ready and willing to help!
