Frequently Asked Questions

What is the communication protocol for the R502-AW fingerprint module?

The module uses a UART (TTL) serial communication interface. It transmits and receives data packets containing commands for enrollment, verification, deletion, and search of fingerprints. The baud rate is typically configurable via command set, commonly starting at 57600 bps. Ensure your host microcontroller uses 3.3V logic levels or employ a logic level converter for 5V systems.

How many fingerprints can the R502-AW module store?

The module has an internal flash memory capable of storing up to 200 fingerprint templates. Each template is generated from a captured fingerprint image and stored with a unique ID number. The onboard algorithm manages the database, allowing for fast 1:N search and 1:1 verification operations directly on the module.

What is the operating voltage and power requirement?

The R502-AW operates strictly at 3.3V DC. Applying a higher voltage can permanently damage the sensor. The current consumption varies with activity; expect peak currents during sensor activation and image processing. Always use a regulated 3.3V power supply and ensure proper decoupling capacitors are present on the power lines for stable operation.

What connector type does the module use and is a cable included?

The module features a 6-pin MX1.0 pitch connector (1.0mm spacing). The package includes a 15cm long 6-wire serial cable with matching connectors. This cable carries power (3.3V, GND), UART transmit (TX) and receive (RX) lines, and additional control pins as defined in the module's datasheet for functions like touch detection or module wake-up.
