Summary
This circuit integrates various components controlled by an Arduino UNO microcontroller. The components include a Servo motor, a Pushbutton, a Piezo Buzzer, a Fingerprint Scanner, and an LCD I2C Display. The Arduino UNO manages input from the Pushbutton and the Fingerprint Scanner, controls the Servo motor and the Piezo Buzzer, and communicates with the LCD I2C Display via the I2C protocol. The circuit is designed to perform tasks that likely involve user interaction, identification via the fingerprint scanner, and feedback through auditory signals (buzzer) and visual display (LCD).
Component List
Arduino UNO
- Microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P
- It has 14 digital input/output pins, 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz quartz crystal, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button.
Servo
- A rotary actuator or linear actuator that allows for precise control of angular or linear position, velocity, and acceleration.
- It consists of a suitable motor coupled to a sensor for position feedback.
Pushbutton
- A simple switch mechanism for controlling some aspect of a machine or a process.
- Buttons are typically made out of hard material, usually plastic or metal.
Piezo Buzzer
- An electronic device commonly used to produce sound.
- The buzzer is used in alarm devices, timers, and confirmation of user input such as a mouse click or keystroke.
Fingerprint Scanner
- An electronic device used to capture a digital image of the fingerprint pattern.
- The captured image is called a live scan, which is digitally processed to create a biometric template.
LCD I2C Display
- A liquid crystal display that uses the I2C bus for communication.
- This display has an integrated I2C interface, which simplifies the connections with the microcontroller.
