interfacing fingerprint sensor with arduino

           OPTICAL FINGERPRINT SENSOR

Optical fingerprint sensors take low-resolution snapshots of the tip of a finger and create arrays of identifiers that are then used to uniquely identify a given fingerprint. 

RED          >  5V

BLACK     >  Gnd

YELLOW  >  2

WHITE      >  3

install Adafruit fingerprint library 

go to manage the library and search fingerprint and click on Adafruit fingerprint library
