Finger Print Reader Program

[ConsultingJoe]

Hi all,

Been a while since I've posted but have a new cool project for work and wanted to see if any one wants to help with a more legit dll call way to build this program to enroll finger prints, import/export them, and authenticate them.

FREELANCER PROJECT: https://www.freelancer.com/projects/C-Programming-Software-Architecture/Figure-Print-USB-Communication-Server.html

I'm building this for a dedicated HR/Clock IN/Out program. My idea is the computer will only have a screen, no mouse and keyboard, and just this Upek TrueMe Finger Print Reader/Scanner that I got on ebay for about $20.

The SDK I got offers a few sample programs that are command line. I will be making the App using that unless someone know better DLL Call ways to communicate with the API.

I can post links if anyone is interested. Let me know if anyone wants to help or thinks this could be cool and useful.

Dude, you should totally go for it. YOLO.

[ConsultingJoe]

thanks, I am working on it now but running into a problem. The sample app I'm building from is not a simple command line app. It has menus to navigate. I have tried using the STDIN/OUT method but it seems that in just using the OUT stream the app just says that its a bad command and repeats infinitely. Any ideas?

I can send the commands with ControlSend but I can not read the results. Please help if you have another method.

There is no dll that came with the device?

[ConsultingJoe]

Yes, I signed up for the SDK and got all the files and docs but dllcalls are very hard for me to figure out with the pointers and the right types. If anyone would like to help thats where I'm stuck. I've built off of a sample app but its not the right way. But its cool you can change a patter of led blinks and the speed, you can enroll and verify finger prints, you can EVEN use it for navigation, just like the old little nipple track balls on IBM laptops.

So. tomorrow, I can post a like to the DOCs/DLL/my code & sample apps if you have any recommendations.

Thanks.

[ConsultingJoe]

Ok, so I got my script to automate the sample app and it is able to load all finger print template files from a directory and then it will constantly attempt to verify finger prints and currently outputs to ConsoleWrites to what slot/user swiped their finger and if there was an error or if it was not found among the prints on file.

Cool A, lol?

I will try to like or upload the DLL/Sample/Doc files if anyone is a PRO DLL CALLER, lol cuz I sure am aint. Otherwise I can also post the sample code for where I'm at and anyone can work off of that.

Definitely post your code because you never know who might show up to help.

[ConsultingJoe]

It uses a lot of control clicking as I am not a DLLCALLER. lol

PM me for any Docs/DLLs/and the sample program that I used this with.

I have created a FreeLancer Project for this. Please check it out. It may explain a little better. There is a link to the SDK and to the $20 product if you would like to purchase one for testing.

Please Please Help.
