Grove - Capacitive Fingerprint Scanner/Sensor code is not working

Community General Info - Guidance
#1

I have just purchased one grove capacitive fingerprint sensor. link.

I am using Arduino Nano and followed their tutorial but the example code isn’t working. A blue light on the sensor never turns green as it should according to the code. Also, it says register ok without putting any finger on it.

I am sharing the result of the full process code.

Wait for respono indicates that an error occurred.



Uart===> : EF.1.FF.FF.FF.FF.1.0.8.31.0.1.4.0.7.0.46.

Usage:
Please put your finger on the touchpad, from green light which on the touchpad lights on till it lights off.
Repeat for 4 times.
If the red light lights on, it indicates that an error occurred.

Wait for response of finger-print sensor 5 seconds
Wait for response of finger-print sensor 10 seconds
Wait for response of finger-print sensor 15 seconds
Wait for response of finger-print sensor 20 seconds
Wait for response of finger-print sensor 25 seconds
Wait for response of finger-print sensor 30 seconds
Wait for response of finger-print sensor 35 seconds
Wait for response of finger-print sensor 40 seconds
Wait for response of finger-print sensor 45 seconds
Wait for response of finger-print sensor 50 seconds
Wait for response of finger-print sensor 55 seconds
Wait for response of finger-print sensor 60 seconds
Wait for response of finger-print sensor 65 seconds
Wait for response of finger-print sensor 70 seconds
Wait for response of finger-print sensor 75 seconds
Wait for response of finger-print sensor 80 seconds

thanks in advance

Hello, I have tried grove Arduino Sheild and download Seeed_Arduino_KCT202 library from the GitHub link provided in Seed official website.

Then I installed the library and opened File → Examples → Seeed_Arduino_KCT202 → full_process.

And after this output is

Uart===> : EF.1.FF.FF.FF.FF.1.0.8.31.0.1.4.0.F.0.4E.

Usage:
Please put your finger on the touchpad, from green light which on the touchpad lights on till it lights off.
Repeat for 4 times.
If the red light lights on, it indicates that an error occurred.

Uart<=== : EF.1.FF.FF.FF.FF.7.0.5.0.0.0.0.C.

Register ok!

Please put your finger on the touchpad, from green light which on the touchpad lights on till it lights off.
To verify your finger print.

Verify ok!
Your finger temp id = 0

I haven’t touched the sensor but it registers by its own.

Please help.

Thanks in advance.
