Is there a way to integrate a usb finger print scanner to base?
If you start a question like this the answer is usually “yes”.
.
I don’t see a direct way, so my guess would be creating your own python wrapper may be an approach to the question, but first would be to find out your goal:
- Identification of a user for login to the database. Very complicated, as Base often connects to an external database, wich would not know of fingerprints…
- Storing fingerprints in a table for later use. May need some blob-type, but the problems start with the first request to compare fingerprints → back to programming your own.
To get an impression. The following link describes a python project to store fingerprints in mysql as a backup and to exceed the limited capacities of internal storage inside the scanner.
