 Introduction

In this project we are going to design Fingerprint Sensor Based Biometric Attendance System using
Arduino. Simply we will be interfacing fingerprint sensor with Arduino , LCD Display , RTC Module
to design the desired project. In this project, we used fingerprint Module and Arduino to take and keep
attendance data and records.
Biometric Attendance systems are commonly used systems to mark the presence in offices and schools.
This project has a wide application in school, college, business organization, offices where marking of
attendance is required accurately with time. By using fingerprint sensor, the system will become more
secure for the users.
why we use arduino for fingerprint scanner because price of rassbery pi and other type of boards are
high and also we have no idea about that boards. how they can interact with the our devices.Also we
not knon the programming of that boards.
Now a days in market so many types of secure attendance system like RFID ,face unlock and etc.
But in other wards like we know that they are costly.

Definition
In this we scan and recognize the fingerprints of different person using fingerprint scanner.And we
use arduino uno for the different purposes like add fingerprint,delete fingerprint and etc.

Biometric Fingerprint Sensor Specifications

Ashtopus Technologies Fingerprint Recognition System is suitable for medium to large size organiza-
tions. The solution provides excellent matching speed with highest accuracy level. The FAR/FRR
is configurable to get the best result. Fingerprint recognition is very popular in biometric system as
fingerprint remains unchanged throughout the life of a person. Fingerprints are unique in nature and
fingerprints of one person are different from another person’s fingerprints. It can be used in access
control mechanism and for attendance system. Fingerprint images can be captured by different methods
but image taken by an optical scanner are of the highest quality and reliable too.

 Working Explanation

In this Fingerprint Sensor Based Biometric Attendance System Using Arduino,we used Fingerprint
Sensor module to authenticate a true person or employee by taking their finger input in system.Here
we are using 4 push buttons to register new fingerprint or delete stored fingerprint or match stored
fingerprint.The 4 push buttons are used as an input unit for these tasks.similarly RTC module DS3231
is used for registering scanning/entering/existing time of the user.
The LCD displays the time record and every function happening via push button.Buzzer indicates
different function and happening whenever an interrupt is detected.The LED is used for power indication.

 APPLICATIONS AND DISADVANTAGES

• Applications

Voter registration and identification,Border control via passport verification by using biological pa-
rameters,Population census by using biometrics,Driver’s license and professional ID card verification
with biometric identifiers.

• Disadvantages

In any accident case some unknown person to find our relatives contact then he/she is failed to find
out.
