Lab Trac
LabTrac is an advanced Attendance Recording System designed by and for the members of amFOSS. Tracks list of amFOSS WiFi networks near you.
How it Works?
- Runs a cron job script on the member's machine, at regular intervals.
- During the installation, the member will have to save the amFOSS CMS credentials on their machine, which will be then, used for authenticating the user.
- NodeMCU creates a random WiFi Network for every 5 mins (akin to something like, 'amFOSS_XXXXXXXXXXX').
- The member's machine will search for the amFOSS WiFi network in list of WiFi Networks (BSSID) around it.
- All this data, along with the credentials will be sent to amFOSS CMS server through API at regular intervals as AttendanceLogs.
