Hi all,

Recently bought the adafruit fingerprint scanner(FPS) (https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-opt ... int-sensor) and I'm running into some issues. I have the connections from the board to the scanner working and there is power going to the FPS. The problem is, after I've imported their provided library to my arduino IDE program and run the code everything comes to a halt. The code runs and finds the FPS and then asks for an ID number to be provided so that it can save whatever fingerprint to that number. I type in a number and hit send and nothing happens... I don't get any error or anything either. It's as if I never even typed in a number for the ID. Anyone else having this issues using the adafruit FPS library? I attached a picture of where I think in the code the program stops cooperating if that helps. would appreciate some help! Thanks guys
