Summary

The Waveshare UART Fingerprint Reader uses an STM32F205 processor with an optical sensor and a commercial fingerprinting algorithm. Communication is via the UART interface at a default baud rate of 19200.

Technical overview

  • Processor used: STM32F205, dedicated to running the commercial algorithm and not available for secondary development.
  • Sensor type: Optical fingerprint sensor.
  • Interface: UART; default baud rate 19200.
  • Serial communication requires a common-ground connection between the module and the PC.
  • The MINI USB port is only for firmware updates and must remain disconnected during normal operation.
  • The BL pin controls the backlight; the module can manage it automatically, so the pin usually stays unconnected.
  • When capturing images on a host computer, set the baud rate to 9600.
  • Power consumption: dynamic approx. 18 mA, static 0 mA.

Notes and version constraints

  • No specific commands or protocol values are provided in the source; a command list must be derived separately from the user manual.
  • Exact firmware version and related compatibility limits are not specified.
  • For connecting to a PC, using a matching Waveshare USB-to-UART module is recommended; selection depends on your setup.
  • For errors such as 'mscom32.ocx', files must be copied to specific Windows folders depending on OS architecture and registered as administrator – each step requires manual verification.
  • If new fingerprints are not recognized, the 'upload eigenvalue' option must be disabled, otherwise the values are stored only on the PC and not written into the module.
