Identix TouchSafe II fingerprint scanner

Reply to Thread

I've come across a pile of old TouchSafe II fingerprint scanners.
They're pretty old, and they used a proprietary ISA interface card. I
didn't get any cards with the scanners, so I'm trying to reverse
engineer them far enough to build some sort of adapter.

The devices each consist of a main board, an image sensor + lens on a
subboard, and some finger illumination LEDs on another.

I have had some luck finding the wiring of the LED drivers/voltage
regulators to the (20-pin) connector on the board, but my progress in
the imaging department is blocked by the fact that I can't find a
datasheet for the main imaging chips: a Sharp IR3P66 and a Sharp
LZ95G69. If anyone has a datasheet for these, I'd love a scan.

Of course, if anyone has schematics for either the device or the
interface board, that would be even better

Thanks,
James Laird

 

Did you try to get in touch with the manufacture themselves, to see if
they would help you???

Just a thought...

They've completely ignored my requests - one through the automatic
email form, and one directly emailed to their support area. At least
they could tell me "no!"
