This is a library for our optical Fingerprint sensor
Designed specifically to work with the Adafruit Fingerprint sensor
----> Fingerprint sensor : ID 751 : $49.95 : Adafruit Industries, Unique & fun DIY electronics and kits
These displays use TTL Serial to communicate, 2 pins are required to
interface

This is the adafruit code for fingerprint matching. Can someone please tell me on what algorithm is used for matching the fingerprint i.e minutiae extraction etc and all. Thanks in advance

Did you ask on the Adafruit forum?

No sir/madam.
