Hooking up a fingerprint scanner with the UNO. I have a pushbutton under the scanner which powers the circuit when pressure is put on the scanner, Idea is the circuit is only powered when your finger pushes on the scanner then opens the safe locks.
When you first open up serial monitor the readout comes up as no fingerprint scanner connected, but if you change the baud rate to 57600, let it run for a few seconds then change it back to 9600 the sensor then connects and the scanner opens the lock properly. Problem is as soon as the power is removed and reconnected the sensor doesn't work again till the baud rate is switch back and forth again. As long as power isn't removed the sensor works fine but this is not relaible because if the power ever goes out I wont be able to get into the safe.
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
