				1. How does R307 work?
The R307 fingerprint module has a TTL UART interface for direct connection to a microcontroller UART or a PC via a MAX232 / USB-Serial adapter. The user can store the fingerprint data in the module and can configure it in 1:1 or 1:N mode for identifying the person.
2. Where is the fingerprint sensor module commonly used?
The fingerprint sensor module is used as a way to verify identity. It is widely applied to computers, mobile phones, electronic door locks, access control systems, security safes, etc.
3. What is the output of fingerprint scanner?
The output of fingerprint sensors is a 2D gray-scale image of a fingerprint, which is then ready for analysis. The image is stored locally, preferably in a secure area of the phone, and in an encrypted form.
4. Which interface does the R307 Optical Fingerprint Reader Sensor Module use?
The R307 Optical Fingerprint Reader Sensor Module is a fingerprint sensor with a TTL UART interface for direct connections to microcontroller UART or to PC through MAX232 / USB-Serial adapter. The user can store the fingerprint data in the module and can configure it in 1:1 or 1:N mode for identifying the person.
 5. What voltage does it operate on?
The R307 sensor operates on a voltage range of 3.6V to 6V DC, making it compatible with most Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontroller development boards. Its low power requirement ensures stable performance for continuous biometric scanning applications.
6. What is its scanning speed and accuracy (dpi)?
The R307 Optical Fingerprint Sensor Module offers a fast scanning speed of 0.5 seconds per fingerprint. It has an accuracy of up to 500 dpi, ensuring reliable recognition and reducing false positives or negatives. This makes it suitable for access control, attendance systems, and other security-focused fingerprint applications.
7. Can this sensor store fingerprint templates internally?
Yes, the R307 sensor can store up to 1000 fingerprint templates internally in its onboard memory. This internal storage allows for standalone operation without relying on an external database, which is ideal for secure authentication systems and standalone biometric devices.
8. Which microcontrollers or boards is it compatible with?
The R307 Optical Fingerprint Sensor Module is compatible with a wide range of microcontrollers and development boards, including Arduino Uno, Arduino Mega, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi. Its flexible communication interface and standard library support make it easy to integrate into IoT security projects, attendance tracking systems, and DIY biometric projects.
