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.

About Hardware

Fingerprint Module GT-511C3

The module does all the heavy work of reading, identifying, and storing the fingerprint data. It

can be issued several commands for all the functionalities. The module can store up to 200

different fingerprints and is capable of 360º recognition. For working the...
