Fingerprint Attendance

Take your students' attendance using a real-life fingerprint sensor.

Remove the hassle of manually taking your class's attendance by using a fingerprint sensor!

Note: This project is meant to be used with an Arduino Uno and the fingerprint sensor by Adafruit

Getting Started

1. Set up the board and the fingerprint sensor

Hook up the fingerprint sensor to pins 2 and 3 on the Arduino board like below:

2. Upload the fingerprint.ino file to the board

Connect the board to your computer using the USB cable (or serial, if you're old).

Use the Official Arduino IDE to flash the fingerprint.ino file to the board.

3. Run the code

Run the code using cargo run --release.

You'll know it's successful if you see Listening on 127.0.0.1:3000.

4. Enter 127.0.0.1:3000 into your browser

Enter 127.0.0.1:3000 into your browser's URL bar to access the attendance system.

Enjoy!

Support for other boards

As stated, this project was designed to be used with the Arduino Uno board. Other boards might work, although no guarantees are made that they will; please use them at your own risk.

Other fingerprint sensors will NOT work, you must use the one provided by Adafruit.
