# [TechOlympics 2018](https://techolympics.org) Showcase Project - Loveland High School
[](https://travis-ci.org/vasilescur/Loveland-Showcase)  
## [Website](https://vasilescur.github.io/Loveland-Showcase/)
## Project
We made student RFID-powered keycards. These cards can be used for attendance check-in, signing out library books,
hall passes, and any other application requiring a student catalog.
## How it works
RFID cards are read by an Arduino with an RFID shield, running a `Java` program:
```java
...
uint8_t data[16];
//Try to read the contents of block 4
success = nfc.mifareclassic_ReadDataBlock(4, data);
if (success)
{
// Data seems to have been read ... output to serial
nfc.PrintHexChar(data, 16);
...
```
The serial output containing each student's ID is read by a `Python` script, like this:
```python
...
ser = serial.Serial('COM5', 115200)
while 1:
serial_line = ser.readline().decode()
#* sys.stdout is intercepted by NodeJS
print(serial_line[49:55])
...
```
This output is read by a `NodeJS` server. This server uses the student ID to query a `MySQL` database storing students and events:
```javascript
// When students scan in, run this
listener.stdout.on('data', (data) => {
console.log('Scanned in: ' + data.toString());
scanIn(data);
});
```
```javascript
function printStudentInfo(id) {
console.log('Student info for ' + id);
con.query('SELECT * FROM Students WHERE `ID` = ' + id, function (err, result, fields) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log(result);
});
}
```
## Future Plans
We are currently working to develop a front-end for this application, which will allow teachers to monitor a
list of their students in each class and see who has signed in.
Other possible applications of the key-card system could be checking out materials from the school Media Center (library),
use as bathroom or hall passes, or an extra security measure when entering the building.
