i have a pjt idea to automize the attendence system in my college and wanna do this as my final year project.
For this my plan is to make a handheld microcontroller based device with a small display unit and two switches.
The device has the list of students (say 100) of that class. using 0ne switch we can scroll through the names
and second switch to mark absence .. the device, once finished entering data, will transmit to a server room.
The data need to be stored in a database there. using visual basic or such program i need to analyse the data.
Like the percentage of attendence of a particular student etc. and from the database this need to be uploaded
to the college website, such that any parent after login can infer about the attendence of his ward
pls help me with the the microcontroller to be used, transmission technique to be followed.
And sorry for my bad english and pls help me
