Hi. I bought an Adafruit Fingerprint last week and after doing everything equal the tutorial, my fingerprint doest not work in my Arduino UNO.
I was doing the blank and thats okay to connect to my computer, but in my Arduino, the enroll just message me "Did not find fingerprint sensor ".
Here is my screenshots and pictures:

Re: Fingerprint problem - Arduino UNO
The sensor worked when connected to the computer? Try reversing the green and white wires, that is, white in 2 and green in 3.

Yes, when i connect to my computer its work. I tried to reverse the white and green but i had the same message and the same problem.

Re: Fingerprint problem - Arduino UNO
Have you modified the example sketch or library at all?
The example sketch expects the fingerprint sensor serial data rate to be 57600 baud. Did you change that data rate when you were connected to the computer?
Also, the library expects the password to be 0. Did you change the password at all when you were connected to the computer?
Those are about the only two things that will result in the error message you are seeing.

Re: Fingerprint problem - Arduino UNO
No, i didnt change. I just opened the example and library, compile and upload to arduino.

Re: Fingerprint problem - Arduino UNO
Your setup looks OK. Let's first confirm that the device is still functioning properly. Go back to the 'blank' sketch and wiring configuration you had before and make sure you can still talk to it with the SFG tool.

Yes, it's still working on 'blank' and talking with SFG tool.

Re: Fingerprint problem - Arduino UNO
And the only thing changed in your wiring is moving the Tx/Rx jumpers from pins 0 & 1 to pins 2 & 3?
Do you see anything on the sensor light up?

Yes, i just move the jumpers to 'blank' work.
When I power up my arduino, the fingerprint sensor blink just one time.

Re: Fingerprint problem - Arduino UNO
Well we know the sensor is working. The mystery is why we can't talk to it using pins 2 and 3.
One possibility is that one of those pins is bad. Let's try using pins 4 and 5. Move your jumpers to pins 4 and 5 and modify the example sketch to do the same.

Re: Fingerprint problem - Arduino UNO
I tried using other Arduino and the same problem happens.
When I put the Bluetooth Module in that pins 2 and 3, it's work.

Re: Fingerprint problem - Arduino UNO
This is very strange. The device works and the pins work for serial communication. We also know that the library and examples on Github work (it hasn't changed in 6 months).
So, either you have a corrupted copy of the library (Try re-downloading it), or something on the device has changed. Check with the SFG tool that none of the default setting on the device have changed (e.g baud-rate).

Re: Fingerprint problem - Arduino UNO
I downloaded the library again and the 'enroll' didnt work again. The printscreen of SFG Tool is in the first post and have no differences from the specifications.

Re: Fingerprint problem - Arduino UNO
Run the SFG tool and verify that the baud rate setting on the device hasn't changed. It should be 57600

Yes, it is 57600.
