Attendance System using arduino

Abstract

Due to the rapid growing number of students in the ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY (IUT) we as electrical and electronics engineering student thought it better to design a student attendance based system that could effectively manage the attendance of students . Attendance is marked after the student have enrolled. For student enrollment, an optical fingerprint sensor is used. Once the fingerprints are taken the name and the student ID of the student is assigned to the fingerprint which is then stored in the internal memory of the Arduino Uno. Fingerprints are considered to be the best and fastest method for biometric identification. They are secure to use, unique for every person and does not change in one’s lifetime. It was our responsibility to implement the fingerprint identification system for faster taking of attendance. This system was implemented in Arduino Uno board.
