This repo contains all the necessary codes and instruction that need to setup the attendence system for an upfront army location. This project is made for the Hackathon HackTheBuild 2.0 organised by IIT JAMMU(2021).
Create an attendance system for the defense, without using a database, through the use of other technologies. It should be an offline system, with only one online registration.
Our product is both hardware and software based solution. Here we are using Raspberry pi as our main computing system which uses RFID-RC522 sensor to mark attendences of Army Personels. Here we are using RFID cards for identifying each person i.e. the each individual have their own RFID cards that are responsible for marking your daily attendences.
The attendence will then be saved both on user's RFID card offline and on raspberry pi server for future records and backup purposes. The offline daily attendences will be marked on each individual daily on their RFID cards.
Each RFID cards have some memory limit to store the data so here for now we are keeping the data for only 1 month as a buffer in each cards local storage.
Each user can request the system to show his/her attendence by using its card and our system in offline mode, while the admin can see the attendences for all registered Users/personels by using the saved attendences from database.
Here we are storing the attendence data in our backend just for emergency purposes, just in case if user losts his/her card then also their attendences can be seen. On in future if admin wants to see who is most regular individual then he can see from using his/her previous records.
The offline attendences of each individual is marked on individuals card too in 1 month buffer time. In starting of each month user's data will be backed up in server and new months data will then be recorded.
- Admin portal for monitoring attendences of every personel.
- Low Cost in setting up the full system.
- Quick Response for recording attendences.
- Easy to use and low maintainance.
- Effectively size optimised, you can carry in your handbag.
- Highly Portable, can be used in upfront army areas.
- Very friendly UI, anyone can use our system without any extra guidance.
- Easy to carry physical attendence card or keyring cards.
- Low Enerygy requirement, can be powered up using only powerbank.
- Secure, it will inform if someone tried to change the attendence data in the card forcefully.
- Data stored in RFID cards of each individual is encrypted.
- Backup of server to online cloud or in offline system.
-
User Registration
-
User Login
- Here user can login to see his previous months or long time ago attendences.
- Here user can login to see his previous months or long time ago attendences.
-
User can see his current attendence just by scanning his/her card offline
-
User can see his/her attendence card offline by scanning their cards.
-
Admin can format the card to reassign this or any other user or someone can verify the card details that which card belongs to which user by using our inbuilt feature, just in case if someone lost his/her card.
-
Admin can delete the User if User doesn't exsist or its data is no longer in use.
-
Admin can see attndences of all users.
-
User can mark attendence in a very hasslefree manner.
-
Admin can also take the backup of server stored data in his admin panel options.
The installation process will contain two parts: Hardware and Software.
-
One time Installation is Required for setting up Hardware Interfaces.s
-
- Raspberry pi
- RFID-RFC522 RFID sensor module.
- Connecting Wires.
- Powerbank for giving power.
- Display (NOT NECESSARY).
- HDMI Cable (NOT NECESSARY).

-
-
-
-
Open the Terminal using
Alt+Ctrl+Tshortcut, or by right clicking on desktop of raspian clicking on open terminal option. -
Now change the active directory to Desktop.
$ cd ~/Desktop -
Now Clone this repo.
$ git clone https://github.com/abhyamgupta123/Army-Attendence-System-HackTheBuild-2.0-.git -
Now change the active directory to our folder
$ cd Army-Attendence-System-HackTheBuild-2.0- -
Install all the dependencies using.
$ sudo apt-get install python3-dev python3-pip -
Now make an Virtual enviornemnt to keep our installed modules safe.
$ python2.7 -m venv venv $ source venv/bin/activate -
Now install all the python packages by using running command.
$ python3.7 -m pip install -r requirements.txt -
Now turn on backend the server1 by.
$ python3.7 manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 -
Now go to Hack1 folder by
$ cd Hack1 -
Obtain your current IP address by
$ hostname -I -
Now start the server 2 by
$ python3.7 -m http.server 9000
Now you can visit the webite provided by our service from any browser whose system is connected to that raspberry pi with hostspot/wifi/LAN.
Your perosonal link will be like
http://\<YOUR IP ADDRESS\>:9000Here you need to replace <YOUR IP ADDRESS> with your obtiained IP address that you have obtained from command
hostname -Iin previous step. -
Now you are good to go with out portable and Smart Attendence System to Mark Attendence of Army Personals in your organisation.
This documentation contains the necessary APIs that we used in our backend. They will only work when our offline harware systems are configured and in up and ready condition on the offline system only, Don't try to run this in anywhere online it won't work.
Thank you.
