Fingerprint problem - Arduino UNO

[adafruit_support_bill]

Not sure what else to try here. All the individual parts are working - just not together.

If you have a soldering iron, you can try soldering some header pins (or just heavier gauge wire) to the ends of the sensor wires. The thin wires do not always make a reliable connection in the breadboard.

Hi

I downloaded the fingerprint library two days ago and happened the same.

What I found out is that in "Adafruit_Fingerpring.CPP" in line 49 col 32, there's a typo. It is a condition to be met and there's only one = character.

line goes

if ((len == 1) && (packet[0] = FINGERPRINT_ACKPACKET) && (packet[1] == FINGERPRINT_OK))

and must be

if ((len == 1) && (packet[0] == FINGERPRINT_ACKPACKET) && (packet[1] == FINGERPRINT_OK))


Also changed speed on SFGDemo from 115200 to 57600.

It worked well with fingerprint example, hope it helps.

Thanks for reporting that. I've entered it as an issue on the Github repository.

Hey, It's me again.

Found now a problem on fingerprint example, So I got into the code again.

I was trying to get response if I entered a id that was not in the finger reader, but nothing happened. Only was able to get response when an enrolled fingerprint was entered. So I found this.

In the example says:

void loop()
{
getFingerprintIDez();
}

and must say:

void loop()
{
getFingerprintID();
delay(2000); //This was added by myself to have the reader waiting between readings.
}


It works now with all the messages and error messages.

Regards
