Hello Tim! I am getting these errors, could you help me out?

[James]

Hi Kou,

We’ll have to see your whole error stream to get a proper idea of what’s going on. You can access the forum via the web browser on your Pi, so could you copy the full message in between 3 backticks (`) into a post here?

That’ll help us troubleshoot this one

Hello James, here is the error

Hey Kou,

Seems that the Pi is having trouble communicating with the Fingerprint sensor. Try running:

ls /dev/tty*

You should see a list of available serial ports, including the one that the fingerprint sensor is connected to. If you do not see the sensor’s serial port, there may be an issue with the sensor or the connection.

If you can see it is recognised, ensure that the baud rate setting of the fingerprint sensor matches the baud rate setting of the uart object in your Python code. The default baud rate for the fingerprint sensor is 57600, but it can be changed using the set_baud_rate() method.

Cheers,
Blayden

Hello sir,
i have a quick question about some parts
I’m using a capacitive fingerprint sensor and ttl usb adapter, and when i run the program, it doesn’t work.
Can i get a hint about what to change, please ?

This error can occur if you attempt to import the wrong file - Python does not distinguish between a script and a library module. What is the name of you script file?

Hi Tim,

This is the error im facing.
And ttyS0 is listen in ls /dev/tty* command.
I don’t know how to set baud rate but im using default 57600 only.

[Christian256316]

Hello, I have the same problem as Ali255702, do you have any idea what it could be?
I using fingerprint_simpletest_rpi.py and the fingerprint is ADA-751

[Ali255702]

It was a connection problem, use connecting pins or get the holes soldered
