Here the controller continuously polls the temperature with certain regular time intervals and displays over the 7_segment display unit for the Micro controller to enable the whole operation by executing the program.


6) Office automation system for optimum energy management: This application keeps the database of the number of persons entering as well as exiting. LED's being interrupted on to the IR receiver to sense the person entering as well as exiting. This signal is fed to AT89C51 micro controller for load control purpose with LCD displays on the number of persons in and out with optimum energy use.


7) Authorized operator to access the machine by Smart card: The project is developed to identify authorized personnel with ID cards , where a module is provided to read the ID number from card. Whenever card ID number in the card is matched with the inbuilt ID number in the code then LCD display would indicate that the card being accepted with a relay used to actuate the load.


8) PC managed, advanced home automation system: External electrical load applications controlled with the help of PC. PC is connected to micro controller through MAX 232 level shifter, ULN (Driver) is used to drive the relays for connecting to external devices. DB (RS-232) connector is used to connect to PC com port.


9) Military use coded communication system with LCD display: The aim of the project is to send encrypted text message transmitted through RF by using Micro controller and received at receiver which is decrypted by another Micro Controller where message is displayed over the LCD display. Transmitter gets data from a standard computer keyboard and encrypts with a private algorithm. At receiver end the Micro controller decrypts it with the same algorithm and displays the data on LCD.


10) Bomb-diffusing Robot by RF controlled, laser beam managed hand held unit: In this RF remote control is used to control a robot. A laser beam is actuated after the robot reaches the suspected site on to the object to diffuse the bomb, remotely.

Edge and Crack Detector

This is a Automated Robot, which senses the cracks and edges over the surface where it'sRunning, for sensing such surfaces it requires a sensing device, which is provided by IR sensor (Transmitter as well as receiver) which is connected with LM324A which is a set of Operational Amplifier as four op-amp are connected in this IC, using 1 IC is more effective than using 2 IC, thus it prefers the most, the IC looks like as shown below: -

and the output from sensors given to the IC LM324A where the signals have been Amplified, it is required because when weaker signals are identified then it gets amplified through LM324, then Output from LM324 is given to Micro-Controller which works as a Brain for Robot which is controlled through the Program.

Now whole Circuit has been connected as shown in figure below: -

C Program Code: -

#include <stdio.h>

#include <8051.h>

void delay (int time)

{

int i,j;

for (i=0;i<=10;i++)

{

for (j=0;j<=10*time;j++)

{

}}}

void moveforward( )

{

P1=0x06;

delay(2);

P1=0x00;

delay(2);

}

void turnright( )

{

P1=0x0A;

delay(2);

P1=0x00;

delay(2);

}

void turnleft( )

{

P1=0x05;

delay(2);

P1=0x00;

delay(2);

}

void main()

{

P1=0xff;

P0=0xff;

delay(10);

while (1)

{

if ((P0_0==1) && (P0_1==1))

{

moveforward();

}

if ((P0_0==0) && (P0_1==1))

{

turnright();

}

if ((P0_0==1) && (P0_1==0))

{

turnleft();

}

if ((P0_0==0) && (P0_1==0))

{

turnright();

}

}

}

Now the project under working condition look likes: -

Micro-Controller Based Password Controller for Home Appliances

Micro-Controller Based Password Controller for Home Appliances

Security is our Prime concern in our day-to-day life. Everyone wants to be as much

secure as possible. An access control for any appliances forms a vital link in a security chain.
The microcontroller based light is an access control system that allows only
authorized persons to access restricted devices.
Present project deals with the activation of the power supply of an electric bulb.
The system is fully controlled by the 8 bit microcontroller P89V51RD2 which has a
flash for the program memory.

The password is stored in the flash memory.

The system has a Keypad by which the password can be entered through it. The user
entered password is compared with the password in the flash memory. When the entered
password matches with the password stored in the memory then the relay gets activated,
LCD displays as “ACCESS GRANTED” and the bulb glows. If the password entered is
wrong then the LCD displays that “ACCESS DENIED”. The same password is then used to
off the bulb.
The system uses 16*2 alphanumeric LCD that displays the password in a secure way
entered using the keypad of 4*3 push button switches. The total circuit enhances the user toprovide a secured operation.
The application can be used with various appliances like door lock system, alarm systems etc. The security provides an advance feature for the present home automation industry.
