M5Stack Fingerprint Unit FPC1020A

The Finger Print Unit by M5Stack is a fingerprint scanner. You can easily implement an access control or electronic door lock with the fingerprint sensor. This all-in-one fingerprint sensor makes adding, verifying, and managing fingerprints very easy. The Uart protocol, compact size, and low power consumption make the sensor very attractive for use with the M5Stack series. The sensor enables you a quick fingerprint comparison with the highest level of security and simple operation.

This unit communicates with the M5Core via the UART protocol and is connected to the M5Core via PORTC.
