 HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS:
1. PROCESSOR: Intel® i3 CPU 3.0 GHz
2. Memory: 4 GB RAM
3. Hard Disk: Minimum 1 GB
4. External Hardware: Arduino with RFID Card reader module

SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS:
1. Operating System: Windows 7 and Above
2. Language: Python 3.6 and above, MySQL

OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT

This project aims to develop an Attendance recorder System using dialog box model.
 MODULE DOCUMENTATION

MODULE NAME:
1. Tkinter
2. Serial

DESCRIPTION
Tkinter is a Python binding to the Tk GUI toolkit. It is the standard Python interface
to the Tk GUI toolkit, and is Python's de facto standard GUI. Tkinter is included with
standard Linux, Microsoft Windows and macOS installs of Python. The name Tkinter
comes from Tk interface.

The Serial module encapsulates the access for the serial port. It provides backends for
Python running on Windows, OSX, Linux, BSD (possibly any POSIX compliant system)
and IronPython. The Serial module automatically selects the appropriate backend.
