Greetings!
A few days ago, I bought an AS608 fingerprint module from a local supplier. When I tried to test it on my official Arduino UNO R4 Wifi, it failed to establish communication with it. I also tried to do the same with my ESP32-WROOM-32D that I have at home, but it also failed.
I then tried to upload a blank code to my Arduino to connect the sensor directly to the TX and RX ports, in an attempt to make it communicate with the SFGdemo program on the computer, but it failed again.
One thing I noticed is that the sensor's LED only turns on when it is connected to the Arduino's 5V, and not to the 3V3 as expected.
Here is the code used, any suggestions on what it could be???
/***************************************************
This is an example sketch for our optical Fingerprint sensor
Designed specifically to work with the Adafruit BMP085 Breakout

These displays use TTL Serial to communicate, 2 pins are required to
interface
