Hello, I am trying to enroll a fingerprint in my Fingerprint sensor but it always seems to not able to store the data. I used the code from the example in Arduino. How can I resolve my problem?
Please post your code, using code tags when you do
Which Arduino board are you using and how is it connected to the fingerprint sensor ?

I am using [AS608] fingerprint scanner here is the picture of it:
So wiring:
3.3 V to 3.3V
GND to GND
TX to D2
RX to D3
Arduino UNO
What do you see on the Serial monitor when you start the sketch and when you try to save a fingerprint ?
What makes you think that the data is not being stored ?
"Error Writing to flash" and I watched some YT vids and when the enroll a fingerprint the serial monitor usually tell "Stored" but mine isn't.
A comment in the code says
But you say
That may be the problem
Hmmm then how can I enroll fingerprints then?
Google has plenty of information on the AS608 interfaced with Arduino
For instance Interfacing AS608 Optical Fingerprint Sensor Module with Arduino
I still have the same problem 
I am sorry but I don't have the hardware to test this so can offer little or no further help except to suggest that you check your wiring very carefully
Thank you for the Help, I'll look into it more deeply
I got it!!; it was the hardware; I changed the fingerprint scanner but same model and it stored my fingerprint!
