Outline of presentation
Introduction to fingerprint based
attendance system.

•The fingerprint attendance system utilize thumb impression for

taking attendance.
•The Fingerprint Attendance System using Arduino is based on simple
algorithm called matching algorithm and compare with previously
stored templates of fingerprint against user’s fingerprint for
authentication.
•Simple Fingerprint Attendance System using Arduino and can be
very useful for any place where attendance is taken for maintaining
register like office, school etc.
Drawbacks of manual attendance system.

•Maintaining a register for attendance is normally used for

traditional attendance system, but it is much more tedious.
•The data maintenance becomes very difficult.

 Fingerprint sensor module

Fingerprint sensor module

captures finger’s print image and
then converts it into the
equivalent template and saves
them into its memory as per
selected ID by Arduino. All the
process is commanded by Arduino
like taking an image of finger’s
print, convert it into templates
and storing as ID etc.
 Arduino uno

•The Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on the

ATmega328. Arduino is an open-source, prototyping platform and its
simplicity makes it ideal for hobbyists to use as well as
professionals. The Arduino Uno has 14 digital input/output pins (of
which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz
crystal oscillator, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header,
and a reset button. It contains everything needed to support the
microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable
or power it with a AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started.
•The Arduino Uno differs from all preceding boards in that it does
not use the FTDI USB-to-serial driver chip. Instead, it features the
Atmega8U2 microcontroller chip programmed as a USB-to-serial
converter.
 Features of Arduino uno

•Microcontroller:
ATmega328
•Operating
Circuit of fingerprint attendance system.
 Description of Circuit diagram.

• The circuit diagram has Arduino for controlling all the process of
the project, push button for enrolling, deleting, selecting IDs and
for attendance, a buzzer for alerting, LEDs for indication and LCD to
instruct user and showing the resultant messages.
• Fingerprint module’s Rx and Tx directly connected at Serial pin D2
and D3 (Software Serial) of Arduino. 5v supply is used for powering
finger print module taken from Arduino board. A buzzer is also
connected at pin A5. A 16x2 LCD is configured in 4-bit mode
Working of fingerprint based attendance
system.

•The user needs to enroll fingerprints of the user with the help of
push buttons and by pressing the enroll button and selecting the id.
•user needs to put his finger and module takes an image and convert
it into templates and stores it by selected ID into the finger print
module’s memory.
•Whenever user place his finger over fingerprint module then
fingerprint module captures finger image, and search if any ID is
associated with this fingerprint in the system. If fingerprint ID is
detected then LCD will show Attendance registered and in the same
time buzzer will beep once and LED will turn off until the system is
ready to take input again.
Advantages

•Reduction in human efforts.

•Less maintenance.
•Quality product.
•Feasible time consumability.
Disadvantages

•Using the fingerprint scanner does not take into consideration

when a person physically changes.
• Using the fingerprint scanner can lead to false rejections.
 Future scope

The project can be further improved with using other biometrics

such as eye retina scan.
This project can be implemented in different different aspect such
as ATM machine using biometrics.
