<![CDATA[Timer Camera X with Fingerprint FPC1020A]]>Hi guys please im having ESP32 PSRAM Timer Camera X and i bought Finger Print Sensor Unit (FPC1020A), please could someone help me create some test code if fingerprint sensor is working. Its connected via Grove Cable. I cant make it work.... like im not getting any value .. Maybe i just doing some mistake with rx, tx. i just dont know how to make it

using this #include "M5_FPC1020A.h" library. #include "M5_FPC1020A.h"

FingerPrint Finger;

void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
delay(2000);

Serial.println("FingerPrint Sensor Setup");


uint8_t rx = 16;
uint8_t tx = 17;

Finger.begin(&Serial2, rx, tx);

}

void loop() {

uint8_t addUserResult = Finger.fpm_addUser(1, 1);

if (addUserResult == ACK_SUCCESS) {
    Serial.println("User added successfully!");
} else {
    Serial.print("Failed to add user. Error code: ");
    Serial.println(addUserResult);
}

// Compare fingerprints

uint8_t compareResult = Finger.fpm_compareFinger();

if (compareResult == ACK_SUCCESS) {
    Serial.println("Fingerprints match!");
} else if (compareResult == ACK_NOUSER) {
    Serial.println("No fingerprints enrolled.");
} else if (compareResult == ACK_TIMEOUT) {
    Serial.println("Fingerprint matching timeout.");
} else {
    Serial.print("Fingerprints do not match. Error code: ");
    Serial.println(compareResult);
}

delay(10000);

}

I have Add user result: 0 but the chance is 1/100. So could it be the fingerprint unit is broken?
User added successfully!

unfortunately I do not have a fingerprint unit to test with so I cannot say what else might be wrong. Sorry.

Thanks
Felix

uint8_t tx = 4; Because i tried that Failed to add user. Error code: 1

No fingerprints enrolled.

Failed to add user. Error code: 1

No fingerprints enrolled.

Failed to add user. Error code: 1

Fingerprints do not match. Error code: 1.

Dont know ... What to do please help.

Timer Camera X Groove port is GPIO4 and GPIO13. See back of camera or pinmap here.

Thanks
