Hi Guys,
Anybody had experience working with Fingerprint biometric for XOJO?
I’m hoping somebody can share their experience with this.
using some fingerprint module like this one
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1x-Optical-Fingerprint-reader-Sensor-Module-sensors-All-in-one-For-Arduino-m8-/152121998832?
and a serial-to-usb module
you should be able to deal with fingerprints using only serial communications inside xojo.
( which xojo knows about without any plugin)
ps: I did not try these modules (still because I bought some to test them), so cannot garantee you this is working !
You can buy various devices.
They may have connection via USB, Serial or network.
And provide you some data for the finger print, so you can decide if that is yours.
I also added in my plugins functions for TouchID, but that is only for latest Macbook Pros.
Thanks for a reply.
Usually, fingerprint device includes SDK. Unfortunately, I haven’t seen Fingerprint device that supports XOJO for their SDK.

depending on the SDK, you might be able to do declares to it in Xojo.
Well, you may need to first get a device working.
And than we can check what SDK is included.
If there is some SDK several people like to use in Xojo, I could also offer a plugin.
I have done a timekeeping in VB6 a year ago. I use “Fingerprint SDK 2009” from http://www.griaulebiometrics.com/page/en-us/downloads.
As you can check it, it supports a lot of development tool, but no XOJO.
I am thinking of getting one of these:
https://www.adafruit.com/products/751
There is also one very similar from Seeed:

These are both serial, but at TTL levels, that is, 0-5V. You could hook it up using this:
https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12977
(or other Arduino USB-to-Serial convertors)
Adafruit generally has the best tutorials, so that is probably the best choice. With regard to the usb-to-serial, buy the one with the FTDI chip in it, as the drivers will generally be already installed (ie they come with your OS). Buy it from a reputable company because the cheap Chinese ones often have fake FTDI chips that don’t always work with FTDI drivers (FTDI actually made their drivers reject the fake chips at one stage of the game).

Can’t you use declares for those DLLs? Xojo is not a mainstream platform so of course it will not be listed as supported by most products, that doesn’t mean you can’t use their SDK with xojo.
HTH,

Thanks for the idea
