Raspberry Pi Fingerprint Scanner

Hi,
I was wondering if there was any way to connect a fingerprint sensor with the Raspberry Pi such as this one; https://www.adafruit.com/products/751, or something else. As of now I understand that its possible to connect them to an Arduino but is there anyway they can be connected to a Raspberry Pi with something like the GPIO pins? Another option I've been some time reading about is the Linux based USB fingerprint scanning directory, /fprint. 

 

Thanks in advance!

Yes it should work just fine with the pi. However, because the datasheet is in Chinese, I don't know the data operating voltages. Better to use a logic level converter just to be sure. You would also need to study the library provided by adafruit or look up the Serial protocol used by the reader in order to develop code for the pi.

Cheers!
