Introduction
The most common means of tracking student attendance in the classroom is by asking the students to
manually sign the attendance sheet, which is normally passed around the classroom while the professor
is conducting the lecture. The previous approach in which manually taking and maintains the attendance
records was very inconvenient task. After having these issues in mind, we developed a wireless
automatic attendance system which automates the whole process of taking attendance and
maintaining it.
Fingerprint identification is one of the most well known and common biometric identification system.
Because of their uniqueness & consistency over time, fingerprints have been used for identification over
many years, more recently becoming automated due to advancement in computing capabilities. So,
here the fingerprint identification technique was used for maintaining the attendance record. The
record of the fingerprints of various students was maintained in a database. The communication
between the PC and Module was done wirelessly over Bluetooth.
For controlling both these modules the microcontroller board, Arduino Mega 2560 was used.
For Implementing GUI Python’s Tkinter library was used.
The database was maintained over MySQL.
Students are supposed to enroll their fingerprint at the beginning of the semester for a particular
course. During the class the fingerprint module would be passed among the students to mark their
attendance.
