The M5Stack Fingerprint 2 Unit combines an STM32G031G8U6 controller with an A-K323CP all-in-one fingerprint module. The capacitive sensor handles fingerprint acquisition, feature extraction, enrollment, comparison, storage, and search, providing a compact biometric input for embedded access and identity workflows.
The module stores up to 100 fingerprint entries and communicates through UART at 115200bps, 8N1. A multicolor LED ring provides local status feedback for enrollment, matching, errors, or application-defined states.
Enroll and Match Fingerprints Locally
Fingerprint processing is handled by the module rather than requiring the host to implement the full recognition algorithm. The host can manage enrollment, matching, deletion, and application logic through the serial interface. Define clear administrative procedures for adding and removing templates, especially when devices are deployed in shared environments.
508 dpi Capacitive Sensing
The fingerprint module is specified at 508 dpi with an 80 × 208 image pixel format. The design includes adaptive processing for dry and wet fingers, but real recognition performance still depends on finger placement, sensor cleanliness, skin condition, enrollment quality, and environmental conditions.
Plan Security Beyond the Sensor
A fingerprint match should be only one part of a complete security architecture. Protect template-management commands, define retry and lockout behavior, log administrative changes where appropriate, and provide a secure recovery method. High-value access systems may require additional authentication factors and certified security controls.
Integrate Through UART
UART at 115200bps 8N1 provides a straightforward connection to compatible controllers. Check voltage levels, shared ground, serial routing, startup timing, and command-response handling before enclosure integration. The RGB ring can show state locally without requiring a separate display.
Typical uses include smart locks, attendance terminals, identity verification prototypes, controlled equipment access, and compact security devices. Technical setup details are available in the M5Stack Fingerprint2 documentation.

Questions Before You Order?
Find quick answers about product compatibility, shipping, returns, warranty coverage, and technical support. LogicBoundless helps makers, engineers, and developers choose suitable hardware and move from product selection to a working prototype with less guesswork.
How can I confirm product compatibility?
Check the product specifications, operating voltage, communication interface, dimensions, connector type, and software requirements before ordering. Compatibility may also depend on your controller, operating system, development framework, library version, and project wiring.
If you are unsure, contact us before purchasing and include your controller model, intended application, power source, and any other hardware you plan to use. We will help you identify the most suitable option, but we cannot guarantee that every product will work with every platform or project.
Does the product come with a warranty?
Warranty coverage may vary by product and manufacturer. If your order arrives damaged, incomplete, or appears to have a manufacturing defect, contact us as soon as possible with your order number, product model, and clear photos or videos of the issue.
Our team will review the information and provide the appropriate next step according to the applicable product and after-sales policy. Damage caused by incorrect wiring, unsuitable voltage, unauthorized modification, soldering, misuse, or operation outside the documented specifications may not be covered.
