Abstract

Kids don’t really understand the reason why they need to study and learn all the subjects in school. Besides, it is a difficult task for the kids and even students to participate in their learning process as they are difficult to focus their attention throughout the lesson. Kids really love rewards and it is one of the initiatives to increase their motivation to learn. Hence, this project aims to develop a smart reward dispenser using a thumbprint sensor for login authentication which integrates with the cloud database. To create this project, Arduino Mega 2560 is chosen as the main controller of the system, followed by Cytron ESP8266 WiFi shield, ILI 9486 TFT LCD act as the touch screen display, DY50 optical fingerprint reader sensor module, and a servo motor. By integrating the system with the cloud database, each student can redeem rewards based on their performance during classes. Three selections can be chosen from the first menu on the touch screen display; register new user, log in for existing users and delete to remove the existing user. All these can be done by using thumbprints detection. The ThingSpeak cloud database is used for storing the students' performance data by day. The authentication login system using thumbprint successfully recognized the registered student and was able to redeem the rewards as requested. In conclusion, this project is successfully developed and fully functional where it might help to motivate the students during their learning process.
