The code is posted below ( based on code from - https://github.com/sparkfun/Fingerprint_Scanner-TTL ), I'm trying to get the finger print I stored on the device to open a servo. The FPS scanner ( https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11792 ) is reading the prints perfectly. Hooked in to the Uno's RX and TX pins to communicate through the serial.
The problem lies in the servo. It is turning the full 90 degrees and back to 0 degrees when my finger is id'ed, but glitches when it is non-active or not called in the code. I've done a lot of trouble shooting and the hardware is fine (tried a simple sweep sketch). By putting delay(2000)'s in I found where the problem is but cannot fix it. Every time serial is communicating the the TX pin on the FPS to check for a print, the servo twitches.
Any insight into why this is happening or a possible solution would be awesome. Thanks guys!
