I am using NodeMCU, R307 fingerprint sensor and Adafruit library. The enroll process is working fine, but the fingerprint template matching is not working. I have tried multiple times, but every time the fingerprint doesn't match with the database. The database shows the number of templates stored, this implies that the templates are stored correctly. Below is the code for matching.
Kindly look into this problem.
#include <Adafruit_Fingerprint.h>
#if (defined(__AVR__) || defined(ESP8266)) && !defined(__AVR_ATmega2560__)
// For UNO and others without hardware serial, we must use software serial...
// 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(D4, D3);
#else
// On Leonardo/M0/etc, others with hardware serial, use hardware serial!
// #0 is green wire, #1 is white
#define mySerial Serial1
#endif
Adafruit_Fingerprint finger = Adafruit_Fingerprint(&mySerial);
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
while (!Serial); // For Yun/Leo/Micro/Zero/...
delay(100);
Serial.println("\n\nAdafruit finger detect test");
// set the data rate for the sensor serial port
finger.begin(57600);
delay(5);
if (finger.verifyPassword()) {
Serial.println("Found fingerprint sensor!");
} else {
Serial.println("Did not find fingerprint sensor :(");
while (1) { delay(1); }
}
Serial.println(F("Reading sensor parameters"));
finger.getParameters();
Serial.print(F("Status: 0x")); Serial.println(finger.status_reg, HEX);

}
else {
Serial.println("Waiting for valid finger...");
Serial.print("Sensor contains "); Serial.print(finger.templateCount); Serial.println(" templates");
}
}
void loop() // run over and over again
