+# Waveshare UART fingerprint sensor (C)
+
+A C# library for the [**Waveshare UART fingerprint sensor (C)**][Sensor], running on
+.Net Framework 4.7 (**Mono**) on a **Raspberry Pi**
+
+This library is tested using a Raspberry Pi Zero (hence the use of Mono)
+but should work on any Raspberry.  
+It should also be easily portable to any device that supports Mono
+or an equivalent (*.Net Core*).
+
+## Usage
+
+- First install it from [**nuget**](https://www.nuget.org/packages/WaveshareUARTFingerprintSensor/)
+
+Then you only need to start the sensor
+
+```csharp
+// PrimarySerialPort refers to /dev/ttyAMA0
+// SecondarySerialPort refers to /dev/ttyS0
+// You need to choose it according to your Raspberry
+// Check the table below
+var sensor = new FingerprintSensor(FingerprintSensor.PrimarySerialPort);
+
+sensor.Start();
+
+// Do any command
+
+// Example: get the user count
+if (sensor.TryGetUserCount(out ushort count))
+{
+    Console.WriteLine($"User count: {count}");
+}
+```
+
+Here is a table of which serial port to use on which Raspberry Pi,
+it may be different for you
+
+| Model     | Port                   |
+| --------- | ---------------------- |
+| Pi Zero   | Primary (/dev/ttyAMA0) |
+| Pi Zero W | Secondary (/dev/ttyS0) |
+| Pi 1      | Primary (/dev/ttyAMA0) |
+| Pi 2      | Primary (/dev/ttyAMA0) |
+| Pi 3      | Secondary (/dev/ttyS0) |
+| Pi 4      | Secondary (/dev/ttyS0) |
+
+> The Secondary UART is **disabled by default**, you an activate it in `raspi-config`  
+> [**Source**](https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/uart.md)
+
+## Sample App
+
+You can find a [**sample app**](WaveshareUARTFingerprintSensor.Sample) which shows basic usages of
+this library and may help you to understand how to use it
