    :alt: Build Status

This library will let you use an Adafruit Fingerprint sensor on any UART to get, store, retreive and query fingerprints! Great for adding bio-sensing security to your next build.

Dependencies
=============
This driver depends on:

* `Adafruit CircuitPython <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython>`_

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem.
This is easily achieved by downloading
`the Adafruit library and driver bundle <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Bundle>`_.

Installing from PyPI
====================

On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally `from
PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/adafruit-circuitpython-fingerprint/>`_. To install for current user:

.. code-block:: shell

    pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-fingerprint

To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

.. code-block:: shell

    sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-fingerprint

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

.. code-block:: shell

    mkdir project-name && cd project-name
    python3 -m venv .env
    source .env/bin/activate
    pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-fingerprint

Usage Example
=============

See 'examples' folder for full usage demo!
