Introduction:
In this project, we are going to design a 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 the 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 the fingerprint sensor, the system will become
more secure for the users.

Based Biometric Fingerprint Attendance System using
NodeMCU

R305 Fingerprint Scanner Sensor Module:

Introduction:

This is a fingerprint sensor module with TTL UART interface for

direct connections to microcontroller UART or to PC through
MAX232 / USB-Serial adapter. The user can store the fingerprint
data in the module and can configure it in 1:1 or 1: N mode for
identifying the person.

The Fingerprint module can be directly interfaced with any

microcontroller as well as Arduino Board. This optical biometric
fingerprint reader with great features and can be embedded
into a variety of end products like access control system,
attendance system, safety deposit box, car door locking system.

Features:
 1. Integrated image collecting and algorithm chip together,
ALL-in-One
2. Fingerprint can conduct secondary development &
embedded into a variety of end products
3. Low power consumption, low cost, small size, excellent
performance

Block Diagram:

In this Fingerprint Sensor Based Biometric Attendance System

using Arduino, we used a Fingerprint Sensor module to
authenticate a true person or employee by taking their finger
input in the 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 functions and
happening whenever an interrupt is detected. The LED is used
for power indication.

Working Explanation:
The working of the Fingerprint Sensor Based Biometric
Attendance System. In this project, we have used a DS3231 RTC
Module for time & date display. We used 1 LED for power
indication, 1 buzzer for different function indication. We have
interfaced 16*2 LCD which displays everything whenever the
finger is placed or removed, or registering attendance or
downloading data.

We have used 4 push buttons which are used to control the

entire system. The functions of each button are:

1. Register/Back Button – Used for enrolling new fingerprint as

well as reversing the back process or going back

2. Delete/OK Button – This Button is used for deleting the

earlier stored fingerprint system as well as granting access as an
OK selection.

3. Forward Button – Used for moving forward while selecting

the memory location for storing or deleting fingerprints.

4. Reverse Button – Used for moving backward while selecting

memory location for storing or deleting fingerprints.
Enrolling New Fingerprint

To enroll New Fingerprint Click on the Enroll button. Then select

the memory location where you want to store your fingerprint
using the UP/DOWN button. Then click on OK. Put your finger
and remove your finger as the LCD instructs. Put your finger
again. So finally your fingerprint gets stored.

Deleting Stored Fingerprint

To delete the fingerprint which is already clicked on DEL Button.

Then select the memory location where your fingerprint was
stored earlier using the UP/DOWN button. Then click on OK. So
finally your fingerprint is deleted.

Downloading Data:

Simply click on Register/Back Button and reset the button

together. At this movement, the serial monitor should be
opened.

When I entered the code, the lcd blinks alternatively with the
fingerprint scanner and it does not show any characters. I already
checked the wirings and the code, still not fixed. Someone help me.

Hey,
It shows nothing after “Attendance System” on the LCD and ” sensor
found” on serial monitor. Also, I am using Mega 2560 board instead
of Uno.

Did you check your software serial pin of Mega. All the pins
doesn’t support interrupt. Assign correct software serial pin.

if anyone is having prob with RTC_DS3231/1307 then just remove

the space between RTC_DS3231/1307 and rtc and then the line will
look like this:
RTC_DS1307rtc;

Why does your diagram circuit doesnt same with your real

Its the same circuit diagram. The circuit depends upon coding and
pin assignment. If you are making this project, go with the same
circuit.

If you are unable to download the data, then try this code.

Don’t forget to change the pin assignment according to this code

200 fingerprints can be stored. Fingerprints data get stored in

FIngerprint Sensor EEPROM not in Arduino Memory.

When I try to download the data to the serial monitor, I get the
attendance logs, but say if I scanned my finger (User 1) only say 5
times, I should get only those date and times. But alongwith it a
fixed value for all the records until 30 which I didn’t use.

What needs to be corrected? Please help.

Hello sir…once…i did message you for help…now can you help me in
completing this circuit…i did buy things that needed for this
fingerprint…but some are not exactly same as yours…my old
teacher said even the component is diffrent…..the usage of that
things still same….but because of differences make me headache to
choose wether to follow the diagram or needed to change a little
bit…also about the coding…when the items is diffrent…does i need
to change a little bit the coding….and the important one….does you
have heart to help me completing this project until it done 100%? I
have the skills to loop…but in coding i was weak actually….so if you
can teach and guide me…i would love that 100%….i hope i can finish
😊
back this project that have been let go for long time…..
