RFID-ClubConnectPro 🚀

RFID-ClubConnectPro is an exciting and versatile solution designed to supercharge attendance tracking for clubs and organizations. This system harnesses the power of RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) technology to elegantly record attendance, empowering clubs to concentrate on their core activities while effortlessly managing attendance records. Additionally, the system goes the extra mile by tapping into email and SMS services to foster seamless communication with participants, making it a comprehensive attendance management powerhouse!

Features and Installation🌟

Feature	Description
RFID-based Attendance	Simplify attendance recording by letting participants tap their RFID cards—say goodbye to tedious manual check-ins!
Email and SMS Notifications	Automatically dispatch messages to participants or club members upon RFID card tap. Keep everyone in the loop about upcoming events, announcements, or anything important.
Local and Cloud Storage	Store attendance records locally and in the cloud, creating a robust safety net for your data. Even in the face of local system hiccups, your records remain safe and sound.
Automated Backup	After each attendance session, a local backup of the attendance records is sent straight to the admin's email. Double data protection, just like that!

Getting Started 🚀

Requirements

To recreate this project you need the following hardware components:

• RaspberryPi
• RC522 RFID Card Reader Module 13.56MHz
• 0.96 inch display or any I²C display
• Breadboard
• Push button
• Jumper wires

To embark on your RFID-ClubConnect journey, follow these simple steps:

Configure Raspberry Pi for RFID

---

Important: Check SPI interface:

1. Run sudo raspi-config.
2. Choose Interfacing Options > SPI (P4).
3. Confirm enabling SPI.
4. Wait for enabling.
5. Restart: sudo reboot.

Check SPI: lsmod | grep spi.

• If spi_bcm2835 is present, move on.
• If not, follow:

Edit config: sudo nano /boot/config.txt.

• Remove "#" from dtparam=spi=on or add it.
• If absent, add dtparam=spi=on.

Save (Ctrl + O), exit (Ctrl + X). Reboot: sudo reboot.

This ensures the SPI interface is properly enabled on your Raspberry Pi.

1. Installation: Clone this repository to your local machine. 🖥️
   Here, I'm using
   

# Update the system
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

# Install Python
sudo apt install python3

# Install Pip (Python Package Manager)
sudo apt install python3-pip

mkdir myrfid && cd myrfid
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate && cd venv
git clone https://github.com/itsvenu22/RFID-Club-Attendance && cd RFID-Club-Attendance
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Use a text editor or the terminal to create the file
nano rfid-data.py

# Paste the code into the file, save, and then run the script
python3 rfid-data.py

3. Configuration: Customize the configuration files to set up email and SMS services. Don't forget to provide those essential API keys, email addresses, and other settings.

4. Database Setup: Configure the local and cloud database connections to ensure your attendance records stay snug and secure.

5. RFID Integration: Get that RFID hardware connected! Make sure the RFID reader is speaking the same language as your software. 📡

6. Usage: Fire up the system and test it with a few sample RFID cards. Ensure attendance records are being captured with pinpoint accuracy and that those email/SMS notifications are rocking as expected! 💥
