The wiring section says the sensor connects to "pins 6 and 7" and the interrupt to "pin 1". Those are XIAO silkscreen labels (
d6,d7,d1), but the firmware constants inmain/fingerprint.care GPIO numbers (43, 44, 2), and the two sets look unrelated. Anyone following a build video that uses a different ESP32-S3 board will wire to the wrong pads.changes
Rewrites the wiring section with an explicit mapping table:
d7FP_RX_PINd6FP_TX_PINd1FP_INT_PINAlso adds:
FP_INT_PINis read active high with a pull-down, so the sensor must drive it high on touchvtor3v3t) and the touch output stays dead without ittesting
Wired against this table on a XIAO ESP32S3 with a ZW101 sensor.
tinytouch statusreportssensor=ok, fingerprint enrollment and PIV login both work.
