R305 Optical Fingerprint Features
R305 biometric fingerprint module is a high-precision, high-performance matching algorithm and high-capacity flash chip. It works based on fingerprint image processing, matching, memory search and performing and desired functions.
R305 uses serial communication in order to communicate with microcontroller. The default Baud Rate is 57600, and it is not possible to change it. This module can store up to 980 fingerprints. It features a USB cable so you can connect it to a PC directly
You can download the datasheet of this module here.

R305 Optical Fingerprint Module Pinout
This sensor has 4 pins:
- VIN: Module power supply – 5 V
- GND: Ground
- RX: Receive data from serial communication
- TX: Send data from serial communication

Interfacing R305 Sensor with Arduino
Step 1: Circuit
The following circuit shows how you should connect Arduino to R305 module. Connect wires accordingly.
Step 2: Code
Install the following library on your Arduino first.
https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Fingerprint-Sensor-Library
Tip
If you need more help with installing a library on Arduino, read this tutorial: How to Install an Arduino Library
Upload the following code to your Arduino.
