[Thinkfinger-devel] Thinkfinger for Lenovo 3000 n100?

[Adam Crownoble]

I have a Lenovo 3000 n100 laptop and have been trying to get the fingerprint
reader to work for sometime. Unfortunately running thinkfinger gives me a
"USB device not found" error.

After looking through the code I noticed that the vedor and product ids in
the code did not match the vendor and product id of my fingerprint reader. I
changed the product and vendor IDs in the code and then got a "Sending HELLO
failed" error.

Am I out of luck?

Here is /dev/bus/usb/devices for my fingerprint reader in case it helps.

T: Bus=03 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=01 Cnt=01 Dev#= 2 Spd=12 MxCh= 0
D: Ver= 1.10 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1
P: Vendor=08ff ProdID=2580 Rev= 6.21
S: Product=Fingerprint Sensor
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=a0 MxPwr=100mA
I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff Driver=(none)
E: Ad=81(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 32 Ivl=0ms
E: Ad=02(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 8 Ivl=0ms

Thanks for the help. Thinkfinger seems like it's exactly the project I was
looking for. I hope I can get it to will work with my hardware.

Does "lsusb" shows you something like :

Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0483:2016 SGS Thomson Microelectronics Fingerprint Reader
?

(just to be sure your hardware is well supported by thinkfinger)

Indeed, the "driver" thinkfinger uses is against the thomson device.

ditto, you were able to access the device, but not to communicate with
it. Unfortunately the code in thinkfinger is not yet compatible with the
device you have.

I did a research on the hardware vendor 0x8ff and your laptop model and
found :

It could be a good start to look for its support !
Good night,
