Introduction

This capacitive fingerprint sensor supports fingerprint capture, image processing, fingerprint storage, fingerprint comparison and so on. Taking ID809 high-performance processor and semiconductor fingerprint sensor as the core, the sensor adopts built-in IDfinger6.0 algorithm, which can complete all fingerprint identification work independently. The product supports UART communication. When working with Arduino library, it can easily realize functions like fingerprint registration, fingerprint deletion, etc. Also, we provide an upper computer software to help users operate this sensor conveniently.

This fingerprint sensor comes with round breathing LEDs and has a simple structure, small size, and delicate appearance. The sensor offers fast recognition speed and high security. What’s more, it supports 360 degree arbitrary angle recognition and deep self-learning function, high performance and low power consumption.

Sample Code 1-Check Module Baud Rate


The module's default baud rate is 115200. You can use the following codes to check its buad rate(the buad rate will not be recovered to default value when the module is power off).

#include <DFRobot_ID809.h>

/*Use software serial when using UNO or NANO*/
#if ((defined ARDUINO_AVR_UNO) || (defined ARDUINO_AVR_NANO))
    #include <SoftwareSerial.h>
    SoftwareSerial Serial1(2, 3);  //RX, TX
    #define FPSerial Serial1
#else
    #define FPSerial Serial1
#endif

DFRobot_ID809 fingerprint;

uint32_t ID809_BPS[8] = {9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400, 460800, 921600};
uint8_t i = 0;

void setup(){
  /*Init print serial port */
  Serial.begin(9600);
  /*Test module baud rate */
  do{
    /*Init FPSerial*/
    Serial.print(".");
    FPSerial.begin(ID809_BPS[i]);
    /*Take FPSerial as communication port of fingerprint module */
    fingerprint.begin(FPSerial);
    i++;
  }while(fingerprint.isConnected() == false);
  Serial.println(" ");
}

void loop(){
