Wemos D1 with Grow R503 stops responding

I have the following setup:

  • Wemos D1 Mini
  • 0.98 TFT display
  • R503 Fingerprint reader (brown wire)

I am using this device to disarm the alarm system and to see the lock status. It worked earlier with Dfrobot’s reader, but the aura control was not working completely with it.

This combination works in the beginning, but quite soon the device becomes unresponsive. I cannot see the web portal nor I can connect to see the logs. The aura keeps breathing.

I have also tried to use ESP32 WROOM, but it had the same problems. I have also tried to use different pins, but since the display uses D1 and D2, to my understanding D5, D6 and D7 are the only usable ones.

Any ideas?

I have the same issue…

Anyone having R503 with brown wire working?

Have you found any solution?
