Overview
This Arduino based project aims to develop a biometric authentication device to showcase its importance in modern security systems. The hardware components consist of a Arduino board built on a breadboard, Arduino fingerprint sensor, NodeMCU as a WIFI module to establish connection to a google sheets database for logging activities. Types of languages used are the Arduino language to configure the board and scanner to send logs to google sheets and google apps script for the database as well as HTML and CSS to make a real time monitoring UI. This system tracks information of who enters the room, what time the person enters, and any failed/working scans. The results can then be managed using a google apps script coded UI. The UI has the ability to delete logs, provide notifications, and view the overall scans from the fingerprint scanner.
