Abstract

Attendance recording in educational institutions is an imperative task. Most present systems provide database management but still involve laborious manual data entry procedures. The design presented in this paper offers a twofold solution to the problem. It relieves from handling paper records of attendance taken in the class by providing firsthand entry into a portable gadget built around the AVR ATmega8 microcontroller. The attendance entered is firstly stored in the microcontroller´s EEPROMfrom where it is transferred to an application software residing on a computer through the serial port. This application stores the attendance data in a database and also displays requested information extracted from them.
