Hi. Is there a package or recommended tutorial for using a fingerprint reader with ROS? I am actually planning to buy this model: http://es.dhgate.com/usb-fingerprint-reader-password-lock-for/p-ff80808138bd3a540138d57a4f96511d.html

Any info or project example would be appreciated also! Greetings ROS community.

I'm not aware of anyone using a fingerprint reader yet in ROS. You will probably need to write a driver, and I suggest making a message to contain the fingerprint information to make communication and storage easier.

(Note: ROS does not use any authentication so it is not recommended for doing anything requiring security.)
