Interfacing to Fingerprint technology from Ada.

Interfacing to Fingerprint technology from Ada.

[Beard, Frank [Contractor]]

I have a potential need to interface with a fingerprint device from within
Ada.
 Has anyone else tried this?  Are there any that give you API control of the

device?  I need to be able to tell the scanner to take the print and then 
store it or compare it to one on file.

Thanks
Frank

Is there a COM interface (As in Component Object Model, not
Communication/"RS-232") available?
If so, use www.adapower.com/com  to generate bindings.

We don't even have the hardware yet.  I didn't make that
very clear.  I'm looking for good/reasonably-priced hardware
that has a decent API for controlling it.

Hi Frank,

I have written an POSIX interface with a fingerprint device for my
company. The device is FG60 from Startek, Taiwan.

I actually almost started a project writing an POSIX interface for
Startek's more advance model FCP-101 which can store fingerprints
locally or on remote server. My project never took off because the
company interest had shifted.

Email me if you are interested.

FCP-101 is nice piece of hardware. About the size of the match box. Good
for building embedded device or standalone device. Url:

Startek has promised to deliver new device but seems like it is not
going to happen at this moment.
