VI. SOFTWARE DETAILS:

Here is some software which is used in proposed system.

VI.1. Arduino IDE:

For the automation using BT module and Arduino,
we uses the Arduino IDE (Integrated Development
Environment) for programming of Arduino.

IV. ATmega328 Controller:

The ATmega328 Controller is an open-source

controller board based on the microchip ATmega328
controller and developed by Arduino.cc. The board is
equipped with sets of digital and analog input/output
(I/O) pins that may be interfaced to various expansion
boards (shields) and other circuits. The board has 14
Digital pins, 6 Analog pins, and programmable with
the Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment)
via a type B USB cable. It can be powered by a USB cable or
by an external 9 volt battery, though it accepts voltages
between 7 and 20 volts. It is also similar to the Arduino

VI.2 System Design: stored in the fingerprint module. When any person put
his/her finger on the fingerprint module then the data of
the placed finger is matched with the stored data in the
module. If the fingerprint data is found in the module then
match the condition occurs and the microcontroller ignites

IX. ACKNOWLEDGMENT
We are really delighted to submit this paper on
“FINGERPRINT BASED VEHICLE STARTER”. We would like
to thank sincerely to our guide Mr. R.A.Kharade for his
valuable guidance, constant assistance, support, endurance
and constructive suggestions for the betterment of this
project work. We would like to express our deep sense of
gratitude to our principal Prof. Dr. A. M. Mulla for
encouraging throughout this course. We would like to
convey our heartfelt thanks to our HOD Prof. P. J. Chorage
for giving us the opportunity to embark upon this topic.
We would like to that all our faculties and friends for their
help and constructive criticism during this technical paper.
