Example Code for Arduino-Get Module Information

Hardware Preparation

• DFRduino UNO R3 (or similar) x 1
• Gravity: Capacitive Fingerprint Scanner/Sensor x1
• Jumper wires

Software Preparation

• Arduino IDE
• Download and install the ID809 Library. (About how to install the library?)

Wiring Diagram

Other Preparation Work

Download and install the library according to the Software Preparation instructions, and ensure the wiring is correct as per the Wiring Diagram.
