Design and Application of a Portable Fingerprint System for Student Attendance Web-Based and Telegram Using Raspberry Pi

Abstract

This paper presents the results of the portable fingerprint system design that is specifically applied for student attendance. The purpose of designing this system is to make it easier for teachers or school administrators to monitor and to process student data so that it can be shared via websites and telegram applications. In addition, there are also features for parents to monitor their child's online presence at school. The methods used were the design and implementation method. The design of this system was built using hardware from Raspberry Pi, where students fingerprint is recorded and can be sent to the website, and also through the telegram application. The system built has been able to function and be implemented properly. The system test results showed a percentage of success of 100% from a number of student entry samples. The fingerprint application that has been made is expected to be used by schools to expedite the process of recording student attendance, and also parents of students can monitor the presence of their children in real time in the teaching and learning process especially in Indonesia.
