Hardware Overview

Features

The GT-521F32 and GT-521F52 have a lot in common with the previous models. They have the same protocol commands and packet structure. Code that was implemented for previous models should be functionally the same. The fingerprint scanner has the ability to:
  • Enroll a Fingerprint
  • Identify a Fingerprint
  • Capable of 360° Recognition
However, there are a few differences in the boards. These include:
  • Different Board Layout
  • 4x Mounting Holes
  • 2x JST SH Connectors
  • Touch Interface
One significant difference to keep in mind when integrating the fingerprint scanner in a project is the number of fingerprints that the device can hold. The GT-521F32 costs less but it can hold only 200 fingerprints. The GT-521F52 is slightly more expensive but it can hold 3000 fingerprints.

The image below shows the fingerprint scanner’s optical sensing area where the device will be able to scan your fingerprint.
Fingerprint GT-521Fxx Optical Sensing Area
There is a marking next to the JST-SH connector that indicates polarity. The JST-SH connector breaks out the pins for serial UART and power. While the input voltage is between 3.3V and 6V, the UART’s logic level is only 3.3V. You will need a logic level converter or voltage divider to safely communicate with a 5V device.

Fingerprint Touch Interface
The GT-521F32 and GT-521F52 have the ability to sense if a finger is placed on the optical sensing area. Upon contact with the metal frame around the optical sensing area, the ICPCK will output 3.3V (HIGH). Otherwise, the ICPCK will be 0V (LOW)
Touch State ICPCK Pin Status
Finger Initially Touching the Frame LOW => HIGH
No Finger Touching LOW => LOW
Finger Touching the Frame HIGH => HIGH
Removing a Finger From the Frame HIGH => LOW

Hardware Hookup

The fingerprint scanner requires a serial UART connection and power. There are a few options to connect to the sensor depending on what UART device you are using. The easiest would be to use an FTDI but you can also use any microcontroller that has a UART.

1.) Connecting w/ a 3.3V FTDI

Option 1: Qwiic Cable

To connect the fingerprint scanner to your computer, it is recommended to connect the JST SH cable to a USB-to-serial converter. Here are the minimum required parts you would need to get started:
Below are the following connections you would need to make with the JST-SH connector labeled as J2:
Fingerprint Scanner [Pin #] FTDI 3.3V
UART_TX (3.3V TTL) [Pin 1] RX
UART_RX (3.3V TTL) [Pin 2] TX
GND [Pin 3] GND
Vin (3.3V~6V) [Pin 4] 3.3V
After connecting, the setup should look like the image below.

Option 2: Making a Custom Adapter

If you are using the JST SH Jumper 4 Wire Assembly instead of the Qwiic cable, it is highly recommended that you make a custom adapter by soldering to the ends of the wire for a secure connection. This will ensure that the connection is not loose when inserting it into female header sockets of an FTDI or the RedBoard/Arduino Uno. The cable wire is small compared to the female header socket. A small bump can mess with the serial UART or power between the fingerprint scanner and converter. This may require you to reconnect the scanner to your computer or device. Making an adapter will also provide quick access to the small 4-pin JST-SH connector that is on the scanner.
For more information on how to make a custom adapter, please refer to the older tutorial. Remember, the pin locations are the same so the adapter can work with the current fingerprint scanner.

  [GUIDE]  DSDT override  eGPU error 12 fix (Windows only)   here   ◄  Mac owners  please work through this thread to solve error 12 before doing a  DSDT override here   ◄  pre-compiled  DSDT overrides   - load or use as reference when making your own   Introduction   A Windows system's DSDT table root bridge definition (ACPI PNP0A08 or PNP0A03) is usually confined to a reserved 32-bit space (under 4GB) budgetted to be large enough to host the notebook's PCIe devices. A watermark TOLUD value is then set and locked in the system firmware. Windows OS honors the root bridge definition and will allocate PCIe devices within it. macOS ignores the root bridge constraints as too does Linux when booted with the 'pci=noCRS' parameter. Neither of those OS require a  DSDT override  and can allocate freely in the huge 64-bit PCIe address space.   When retrofitting a eGPU, an   error 12 (This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use)  can occur  against an eGPU in Win

Using real data types in VHDL

Using real data types in VHDL    Apart from the standard types like integer and std_logic_vector's VHDL also offer  real  data types. But a real data type has a big disadvantage. It is not synthesis-able. It can be used only for simulation purposes. This disadvantage limits its use to a large extend, but there are plenty of projects where we look only for simulation results.   Before starting the coding part of a VHDL project,one has to decide whether the project to be implemented on a real FPGA or just a computer simulation is required. If it has to be ran on FPGA, then forget about the real package and use only synthesis-able data types like std_logic,integer etc... Otherwise you can reduce the time and complexity of your project by using real data types. The real data type is defined in the library called  MATH_REAL . So you have to include the following line before the entity declaration in the code: use ieee.math_real.all; The math_real package also offers some elemen
