What will happen to the fingerprint sensor R307 if you connect its Rx and Tx pin to the Rx and Tx pins of esp32? Like Rx to Rx and Tx to Tx?
I moved your topic to an appropriate forum category @alvincent007.
In the future, please take some time to pick the forum category that best suits the subject of your topic. There is an "About the _____ category" topic at the top of each category that explains its purpose.
This is an essential part of responsible forum usage, as explained in the "How to get the best out of this forum" guide. It contains a lot of other useful information. Please read it.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
Tx might get damaged and no Rx will receive anything.
How to know if the fingerprint sensor already damage? Thanks for the answer btw
Why do you want to know?
I have a reference that tells me to put it like that and I follow all the steps that he teaches but the fingerprint sensor didn't response as what the vid shows
Usually you connect Tx to Rx, and Rx to Tx. Did you try that?
Yes but the serial monitor tells me that it didn't detect fingerprint sensor. I first connect each pins to Rx to Rx and Tx to Tx based 9n the vid
Thank you 
Post your code. Post a picture of how you have things connected.
Well i think the fingerprint sensor not a problem, so its okay now but there is something that I want to confirm, does the Tx of the esp32 fluctuates?
What do you mean by fluctuate?
Well I already resolve it, last question, Why R307 Fingerprint sensor only blinks when I supplied it coming from esp32 and then the serial monitor tells that fingerprint sensor didn't detected? I follow the pinnings that the program instruct? Any advice for troubleshooting?
Resolved what ? You haven't even told us what the problem is.
Yep - read post #11.
Sorry, here
And for the code:
