Circuit Documentation

Summary of the Circuit

This circuit is designed around the Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller, which serves as the central processing unit. The circuit includes a fingerprint scanner for biometric input, a green LED as an indicator, two pushbuttons as user inputs, and resistors for current limiting and pull-down configurations. The Arduino Mega 2560 communicates with the fingerprint scanner via serial communication and controls the LED based on the logic defined in the embedded code. The pushbuttons are used to trigger certain actions when pressed.
