WORKING - Fingerprint enabled Time and Attendance application for ERPNext

If anybody has tested this with Scanning devices other than Futronic’s fs80h, then kindly share your experiences.

@xainch For the moment; it will work for the futronic fs80h. But I think now that it’s out there; we’ll be able to add more devices using their apis. One challenge is; I believe; for fingerprint capture; there are various implementations so it will be a matter of coding various apis and allowing the user select the device to use; with some more effort; we can also have code that enumerates usb ports and identifies the device plugged in and uses the driver.

The fs80h is a good device by the way. You can start with that and get results.

sorry this somehow slipped my attention. Do you still need help to put it on github?

btw … the link you have provided does not seem to load properly, so it seems the code is not accessible right now.

DIY: Arduino Board, touchscreen, fingerprint sensor … maybe?

Hi @vrms, I shared a onedrive link. Is that link unavailable?

I actually just tried again 10 minutes ago and could download your Git-Thumb-Relase.zip

do you already have an account on github or bitbucket (Github would be the more common provider in the ERPNext world)? If so, what’s your username/ID?

@vrms sorry; I just looked closely at your mail. You have a link. Indeed there seems to be a problem on onedrive; I think it’s microsoft because I can’t access my drive as a whole.

Once I do; I’ll share a link. Thanks.

Also we should have a meaninfull name for the App I suggest fingerprint-attendance. Does that work for you?

Thanks a lot @vrms, my git account name is noetico, and yes, the name is fine by me. Thanks a lot.

sorry I didn’t realize that Thumb was your name. Still maybe erpnext_fingerprint-attendance is a bit clearer for everyone.

is the zip file in here GitHub - noetico/thumb: Time and Attendance App for ERPNext identical with the one from here https://1drv.ms/u/s!Aid3w9N-oNFsmj3Oy5uap4YHeZ-E ?

Haha. @vrms, thumb is not my name; that is the initial app name.

haha, that’s what I meant. App name = “Thumb”

Hi @noetico @vrms

Any further updates on this?

Cheers!

@noetico Hi, i am very glad to see your struggle for building this feature.
i’ve also tried implementing this but it didn’t work.
i’ve downloaded this and set it up as per user manual.
I’ve putted ip, dbname , dbuser, dbpasword in setup.txt file
but when i am connecting it to server it show below error,
Connection failed with error: Unable to connect to any of the specified MySQL hosts.

please have look into it. your reply will be highly appreciated.

Have you set up the right privileges in mysql? also edit my.cnf; comment out skip-networking and bind-address, add # in front of both lines. Set privileges from the mysql command line.

Sorry buddy i’ve not got your point. please guide step by step or provide documentation if possible.

we have been done it for weighing machines on android!
