Inspiration
To allow easy and accessible attendance and other classroom functionality for students
What it does
Reads a RFID tag or card, and records the student information into a database, with a web app for viewing specific details.
How we built it
The hardware uses an RFID kit on an Arduino Uno, with interfacing via python and C. The web app consists of Flask to allow a Python back-end with a HTML, CSS, and JavaScript front-end. We also used CockRoachDB hosted on Google Cloud to store our data.
Challenges we ran into
The most challenging aspects were communicating our JavaScript with the Python and database back-end, as well as sending information from the RFID scanner to the database.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Having a functional database and web app interfaced with working RFID hardware.
What we learned
How to use Flask with Python and JavaScript for SQL integration, as well Arduino usage for RFID.
