Description

I'm trying to connect Fingerprint (AS608) sensor with Raspberry PI 3 B+.

`finger.get_image() `function is not waiting to put finger on sensor. returning 0x0 automatically.

used ttyUSB0 port.

I'm referring source code here https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Fingerprint/blob/main/examples/fingerprint_simpletest.py

Research direction

Start with the referenced examples/fingerprint_simpletest.py and the get_image() call, then reproduce the behavior using an AS608 sensor on Raspberry Pi 3 B+ through ttyUSB0. Compare the reported 0x0 result with the expected finger-detection behavior and document or test the conditions under which get_image() should wait for input.
