Discord-Driven RFID Attendance System

In this video I'm presenting RFID Attendance System realized with using Discord as communication layer between ESP32 (+MFRC522) as IoT device on one side, and WinForms desktop application as a server on the other side. When new RFID tag is applied over the RFID scanner module ESP32 will immediately serialize it into appropriate package and push it to the Discord server into specific channel. When package arrives in channel, Discord will forward it to the WinForm application through the permanent WebSocket channel. WinForms application will than deserialize package and do validation (does received message represent package, does user who sends package has slave role, does received tag exists in local database etc...). If validation passed new activity of appropriate Employee will be stored into SQLite database.
