SMART BIOMETRIC ATTENDANCE REGISTER USING ARDUINO-UNO MICROCONTROLLER SYSTEM

Abstract

Arduino-based fingerprint attendance register offers a consistent, protected, and proficient system for tracking attendance using biometric identification. The system leverage Arduino microcontroller combined with fingerprint sensor to authenticate user by scanning their fingerprint, thereby eliminating the need for manual entry or traditional ID cards, which can be lost or misused. The system adopts a fingerprint sensor module that captures and processes individuals fingerprint data, the data is stored in the Arduino’s internal memory. Individual finger contour grids are captured on placing on the sensor, the system matches the fingerprint against the stored data and record attendance upon successful verification. The enabling capacity of system is able to manage large set of fingerprints, permitting scalability for small to medium sized institutions attendance system. This project presents an affordable and scalable solution for schools, offices and organizations looking to automatic attendance tracking, enhance security, and minimize errors. More so, the system’s low-cost hard ware components, it efficiency, ease of use and it open-source nature, also making the microcontroller highly customizable and adoptable for specific needs.
