I have an fps gt-511c1r fingerprint scanner module. I want to know whether i can run it using teensy 3.0 or above?
I have already tried it successfully using arduino uno.

No reason why not, all it takes is TTL serial.

The led blink sketch for the fingerprint scanner uploads successfully on the teensy 3.2 board, but there is no response from the fingerprint scanner:( I also tried powering it with 3.3v arduino uno and it worked. So why is it not working with the teensy board? Even when the sketch uploads successfully?

Well, it would seem that there is something wrong with the teensy code.  Or, maybe there are multiple USARTs brought out and you're not connected to the right one.  I think I would start looking at that first.  I can see a scenario where they would use a secondary port for the scanner and leave a primary port for the console connection.

You're probably going to have to tear into the teensy code and see what it is actually doing.

You have an advantage:  You know the scanner works with the Arduino so the issue isn't with the scanner.  Half the battle is over!

From the datasheet, it looks like looks like the scanner only works down to 3.3V; are you sure that the voltage supplied to the sensor by the teensy isn't drooping under load?

maybe problem lies in the library of the fingerprint scanner. The .cpp file uses software serial. But teensy already has a bunch of hardware serial uart pins.
