Scanning and Enroll together => crash

[GrexAut]

Hi,

I have some troubles to get running my sketch. There should be two modes for the fingerprint scanner, one is called "SCAN_ACTIVE", the other mode is called "ENROLL". Simply I switch the mode over Serial (actually over IDE console), but If I use finger.getImage(); in the other function, it crashes/reboots my Arduino Nano v3.0 (ATmega238) instantly.

If I only have getFingerprintEnroll(id) have enabled, it crashes (i don't need to switch the mode from SCAN_ACTIVE to ENROLL), I absolutely have no idea why...

My code:

/***************************************************

I hope someone can help me!

we've done a pretty big refactor, you could try again now!
