I am using an Arduino Uno and a finger print sensor which i am unsure about its model number anyway i am using the adafruit library code just like everyone else and everything goes fine such as when i start up the serial monitor it can find the sensor the sensor lights up and then it askes me to put in a number for the finger id so i do and then it tells me to scan my finger but when i do nothing happens just a bunch of full stops repeat its almost like it cant read my finger. My module has 6 wires and i use the others normally but i am not sure what the other wires are for and if they are needed because if they are then it is not in the code. Is there different code that i can use out there somewhere?

// pin #2 is IN from sensor (GREEN wire)
// pin #3 is OUT from arduino (WHITE wire)
// Set up the serial port to use softwareserial..
SoftwareSerial mySerial(2, 3);
#else
// On Leonardo/M0/etc, others with hardware serial, use hardware serial!
// #0 is green wire, #1 is white
#define mySerial Serial1
