In accordance with a first aspect of the present disclosure, a biometric sensing system is provided, comprising: a sensor module configured to generate sensing data; a processing unit configured to process data received from said sensor module; wherein the sensor module and the processing unit are communicatively coupled to each other via a universal synchronous asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART) communication interface. In accordance with a second aspect of the present disclosure, a corresponding communication method is conceived. In accordance with a third aspect of the present disclosure, a corresponding computer program is provided.
A biometric sensing system comprising:
A method of communicating between a sensor module and a processing unit in a biometric sensing system, wherein the sensor module generates sensing data and the processing unit processes data received from said sensor module, and wherein sensor module and the processing unit communicate with each other via a universal synchronous asynchronous receiver transmitter, USART, communication interface, wherein the USART communication interface comprises only a clock line and a data line and wherein the clock line of the USART communication interface is directly connected to the sensor module and to the processing unit and wherein the data line of the USART communication interface is directly connected to the sensor module and to the processing unit.
