An all-in-one capacitive fingerprint sensor module with a built-in Cortex processor and commercial-grade fingerprint algorithm. Simply send UART commands to enrol, match, and manage fingerprints — no knowledge of fingerprint algorithms required. The compact rectangle form factor integrates the processor and capacitive sensor in a single chip.
Features an embedded human presence sensor that automatically wakes the processor on touch and enters sleep mode when idle, keeping power consumption low. Compatible with hardware platforms like STM32, Raspberry Pi, and Arduino via the onboard UART connector.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- STM32
- STM32 is a family of microcontroller chips commonly used in embedded electronics. Knowing a product uses an STM32 can help when looking at firmware updates, pin connections, or low-level serial control options.
- UART
- UART is a simple serial connection that sends data over separate transmit and receive wires, often labelled TX and RX. It matters because this module is designed to replace a wired UART cable with a wireless link while keeping the same serial data format.
