UART Fingerprint Sensor (C)
V1.0 www.waveshare.com 2/ 18
OVERVIEW
This is a highly integrated round-shaped all-in-one capacitive fingerprint sensor module, which is
nearly as small as a nail plate. The module is controlled via UART commands, easy to use. Its
advantages includes 360°omni-directional verification, fast verification, high stability, and low power
consumption, etc.
Based on a high-performance Cortex processor, combined with high-security commercial
fingerprinting algorithm, the UART Fingerprint Sensor (C) features functionalities like fingerprint
enrolling, image acquisition, feature finding, template generating and storing, fingerprint matching,
and so on. Without any knowledge about the complicate fingerprinting algorithm, all you need to do
is just sending some UART commands, to quickly integrate it into fingerprint verification applications
which require small size and high precision.
FEATURES
⚫Easy to use by some simple commands, you don't have to know any fingerprint technology, or
the module inter structure
⚫Commercial fingerprinting algorithm, stable performance, fast verification, supports fingerprint
enrolling, fingerprint matching, collect fingerprint image, and upload fingerprint feature, etc.
⚫Capacitive sensitive detection, just touch the collecting window lightly for fast verification
⚫Hardware highly integrated, processor and sensor in one small chip, suit for small size
applications
⚫Narrow stainless-steel rim, large touching area, supports 360°omni-directional verification
⚫Embedded human sensor, the processor will enter sleep automatically, and wake up when
touching, lower power consumption
⚫Onboard UART connector, easy to connect with hardware platforms like STM32 and Raspberry Pi

Notes：
In DSP module, the pixels of fingerprint image are 280*280, every pixel is represented by 8
bits. When uploading, DSP is skip pixels sampling in horizontal/vertical direction to reduce data
size, so that the image became 140*140, and just take the high 4 bits of pixel. each two pixels
composited into one byte for transferring (previous pixel high 4-bit, last pixel low 4-pixe).
Transmission starts line by line from the first line, each line starts from the first pixel, totally
transfer 140* 140/ 2 bytes of data.
Data length of image is fixed of 9800 bytes.

Range of fingerprint waiting timeout (tout) value is 0-255. If the value is 0, the fingerprint
acquisition process will keep continue if no fingerprints press on; If the value is not 0, the system will
exist for reason of timeout if no fingerprints press on in time tout * T0.
Note: T0 is the time required for collecting/processing an image, usually 0.2- 0.3 s.

USER GUIDES
If you want to connect the fingerprint module to PC, you need to buy one UART to USB module. We
recommend you use Waveshare FT232 USB UART Board (micro) module.
If you want to connect the fingerprint module to development board like Raspberry Pi, if the working
level of your board is 3.3V, you can directly connect it to UART and GPIO pins of your board. If it is 5V,
please add level convert module/circuity.
CONNECT TO PC
HARDWARE CONNECTION
You need:
⚫UART Fingerprint Sensor (C)*1
⚫FT232 USB UART Board *1
⚫micro USB cable *1
Connect the fingerprint module and FT232 USB UART Board to PC

TESTING
⚫Download UART Fingerprint Sensor test software from wiki
⚫Open software and choose the correct COM port.(The software can only support COM1~COM8,
if the COM port in your PC is out of this range, please modify it)
⚫Testing
There are several functions provided in Testing interface
1. Query Count
Choose Count, then click Send. The count of users is returned and display in Information
Response interface
2. Add User
Choose Add User, check Acquire Twice and Auto ID+1, type the ID (P1 and P2) and permission
(P3), then click Send. Finally, touch sensor to acquire fingerprint.
3. Delete user
Choose Delete User, type the ID (P1 and P2) and permission (P3), then click Send.
4. Delete All Users
Choose Delete All Users, then click Send
5. Comparison 1:1
Choose 1:1 Comparison, type the ID (P1 and P2) and permission (P3), then click Send.
6. Comparison 1:N
Choose 1:N Comparison, then click Send.
…
For more function, please test it. (Some of the functions are unavailable for this module)
