Does anyonw know why I cannot use the Adafruit fingerprint sketch?? I am using an Arduino Yún, I have connected RX to PIN 8 and TX to PIN 3.
I am uploading the sketch named enroll.ino, it's the example Adafruit provides. Then when I run the Serial Monitor everything seems to go well, I get this message:
fingertest
Found fingerprint sensor!
Type in the ID # you want to save this finger as...
But when I write any number it doesn't work and I found that if I write a letter and a number in any order, for example, 5x, the sensor turns on and captures my fingerprint but when I upload the show_fingerprint_templates, to see if it really saved the fingerprint, there is nothing saved.
Anyway I don't think is ok to type a letter to make it work. It is supposed to store the IDs using only numbers, I watched videos where it works like that.
The code is in Arduino but anyway I am going to post it here. I changed font color to the only text I added because I am using a micro 32u4
