An IoT-based RFID system using ESP32 to track student boarding and exiting in real-time using Firebase.
- RFID-based student identification
- Real-time status tracking (Boarded / Exited)
- WiFi-enabled ESP32 communication
- Firebase cloud data logging
- Real-time timestamp using NTP
- ESP32
- RC522 RFID Module
- Arduino IDE
- Firebase Realtime Database
- HTTP (REST API)
- Student taps RFID card
- RC522 reads the UID
- ESP32 matches student data
- Status toggles (Boarded ↔ Exited)
- Data is sent to Firebase in real-time
