micropython-fingerprint

MicroPython library for reading ZhianTec finger print sensors.

This MicroPython library is a slightly modified version of the pyfingerprint for the Raspberry Pi and has the same German free software license.

As with the original library it should work with ZFM-20, ZFM-60, etc sensors. I have been testing with the R503 sensor.

A small test program to verify that the sensor is communicating. Depending on what development board is in use, the UART instance may have to be differently configured. Note that the baud rate MUST be a multiple of 9600.

from pyfingerprint import PyFingerprint
from machine import UART

sensorSerial = UART(1)
# ESP32 (pins 12, 13)
sensorSerial.init(57600, bits=8, parity=None, stop=1, rx=13, tx=12)
# pyboard v1.1 (pins X9, X10)
# sensorSerial.init(57600, bits=8, parity=None, stop=1)

f = PyFingerprint(sensorSerial)
f.verifyPassword() # should return True

Further example programs which should be easily adapted can be found with the original pyfingerprint library.

Trouble Shooting

Download characteristics packet corruption

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

Exception: The received packet is corrupted (the checksum is wrong)!

Solution - reduce baud rate
