RFID Attendance system using Google sheets
A reader consists of a radio frequency module and an antenna that generates a high
frequency electromagnetic field. Whereas the tag is usually a passive device (it does
not have a battery). It consists of a microchip that stores and processes information,
and an antenna for receiving and transmitting a signal.

alarm devices, printers, alarms, computers, etc. Based on the various designs, it can
generate different sounds like alarm, music, bell & siren.
The pin configuration of the buzzer is shown below. It includes two pins namely
positive and negative. The positive terminal of this is represented with the ‘+’ symbol
or a longer terminal. This terminal is powered through 6Volts whereas the negative
terminal is represented with the ‘-‘symbol or short terminal and it is connected to the
GND terminal.
There are two main types of RFID tags: battery-operated and passive. As the name
suggests, battery-operated RFID tags contain an onboard battery as a power supply,
whereas a passive RFID tag does not, instead working by using electromagnetic
energy transmitted from an RFID reader. Battery-operated RFID tags might also be
called active RFID tags.

Passive RFID tags use three main frequencies to transmit information: 125 – 134
KHz, also known as Low Frequency (LF), 13.56 MHz, also known as High
Frequency (HF) and Near-Field Communication (NFC), and 865 – 960 MHz, also
known as Ultra High Frequency (UHF). The frequency used affects the tag’s range.
When a passive RFID tag is scanned by a reader, the reader transmits energy to the
tag which powers it enough for the chip and antenna to relay information back to the
reader. The reader then transmits this information back to an RFID computer program
for interpretation. There are two main types of passive RFID tags: inlays and hard
tags. Inlays are typically quite thin and can be stuck on various materials, whereas
hard tags are just as the name suggests, made of a hard, durable material such as
plastic or metal.
Arduino IDE - contains a text editor for writing code, a message area, a text
console, a toolbar with buttons for common functions and a series of menus. It
connects to the Arduino and Genuino hardware to upload programs and communicate
with them.
Programs written using Arduino IDE are called sketches. These sketches are
written in the text editor and are saved with the file extension. The editor has features

for cutting/pasting and for searching/replacing text. The message area gives feedback
while saving and exporting and also displays errors. The console displays text output
by the Arduino Software (IDE), including complete error messages and other
information. The bottom righthand corner of the window displays the configured
board and serial port.
PURPOSE of setup(): The setup() function is called when a sketch starts. Use it to
initialize the variables, pin modes, start using libraries, etc. The setup function will
only run once, after each power up or reset of the Arduino board.
PURPOSE of loop (): After creating a setup() function, which initializes and sets the
initial values, the loop() function does precisely what its name suggests, and loops
