 INTRODUCTION
 The main aim of the project will be to design a GSM
based electronic notice display system which can
replace the currently used programmable electronic
display. It is designed for displaying notices in college
on electronic notice board by sending messages in form
of SMS through mobile, it is a wireless transmission
system which has very less errors and maintenance.
 DESIGN OVERVIEW

The design of the project is basically divided

into:
1. Transmitting Section
2. Receiving Section
 Transmitting Section consists of just mobile
which has inbuilt GSM modem for
wireless data transfer through GSM.
 GSM (Global System for Mobile
communications: originally from Group
Special Mobile) is the most popular standard
for mobile phones in the world.
 GSM NETWORK
 GSM is a cellular network, which means that
mobile phones connect to it by searching for
cells in the immediate vicinity.
 The modulation used in GSM is Gaussian
minimum-shift keying (GMSK), signal to be
modulated onto the carrier is first smoothed
with a Gaussian low pass filter prior to being
fed to a frequency modulator which greatly
reduces adjacent channel interference).
TRANSMITTING SECTION

 Since it is a multiuser system, various users are

authenticated to use the system or display messages on
the notice board.
 For security, individual passwords are provided to
authorized users. To display their message on notice
board, a user need to authenticate itself with the system
by sending message containing the assigned password
and the text to the receiver section’s SIM number.
 The receiving section’s system verifies password and
sends response to the user and displays the text on the
electronic notice board.

RECEIVING SECTION
 THE
MICROCONTROLLER
 Microcontroller is the heart of the system. It
is used for interfacing the display, memory
and other peripherals with GSM modem.
 The microcontroller used in this case is
AT89c52. It is a low-power, high
performance CMOS 8-bit microcomputer
with 8K bytes of Flash programmable and
erasable read only memory. It is compatible
with the industry-standard 80C51 and 80C52
instruction set and pin out.
 GSM MOBILE

 A GSM mobile is used in our project to receive

messages at receiving section. GSM Mobile consists
of GSM Modem. It is a wireless modem that works
with a GSM wireless network. It sends and receives
data through radio waves.
 In our project, we are using China set NONY 326.
which give compatible mobile devices wireless
connectivity using the GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
cellular net-works.
 It has dual sim and dual standby feature, alonwith
this, it supports wireless bluetooth 2.0.
DISPLAY UNIT(LCD)
 One of the most common devices
attached to an 8051 is an LCD display.
Here we have used 16x2 Hitachi
HD44780 compatible module, having 16
pins including 2 pins for backlight.
 MAX232
 The MAX232 is a dual driver/receiver that includes a
capacitive voltage generator to supply EIA-232 voltage
levels from a single 5-V supply and converts EIA- 232
inputs to 5-V TTL/CMOS levels.
 The microcontroller is interfaced with PC via MAX232
level convertor. It is used to convert RS232 voltage to
TTL voltage levels and vice versa. We use PC's serial
port to interface microcontroller.
 In PC, at RS-232 voltage levels, logic 1 varies from -3
to -15 volts and logic 0 from +3 to +15 volts. The
microcontroller which works on TTL logic levels,
logic 1 is +5 volts and logic 0 is 0 volts. Therefore to
interface the two we use a MAX 232 driver IC.
 POWER SUPPLY
 Power Supply is an important part of a circuit. It provides
required supply to different blocks of the circuit from input
230 VAC.
 RS-232 CABLE

 RS -232 is used to connect PC to microcontroller. It

is based on RS232 standard.
 These can be classified as Data Terminal
Equipment (DTE) or Data Communication
Equipment (DCE); this defines at each device which
wires will be sending and receiving each signal.
 In general and according to the standard, terminals
and computers have male connectors with DTE pin
functions, and modems have female connectors
with DCE pin functions.
 RS232 CABLE

 Other devices may have any combination of connector gender and

pin definitions. At one end of the cable, a male DB9 connector is
used and at another, a female DB9 connector is used. Both are of
same pin out.

 RW=P3.3(sbit rw=P3^3)
 EN=P3.4 (sbit en =P3^4)
 P1.0-P1.7—DB0-DB7 (sbit begin=P0.0; sfr load

 LCD Initialization
 Sending data to LCD
 Display data
MICROCONTROLLER-PC
INTERFACING
PC-MAX232 INTERFACING

 PC is connected to MAX 232 level

converter via RS232 cable.
 Male part of RS232 cable is
connected to PC and female part is
connected to MAX 232 converter.
 Pin2 of RS232 is receive data line
and pin 3 is transmit data line. Pin
2 of RS232 is connected to pin no
13 R1IN of MAX 232 converter and
pin 3 of RS232 is connected to pin
no 14 T1OUT of MAX232 converter.
MAX232-MICROCONTROLLER

MAX232-MICROCONTROLLER
INTERFACING

 To provide interfacing between them , the MAX 232

level converter provides output in the form of TTL
CMOS logic levels since PC operates on TTL CMOS
logic levels.
 The pin no 11 T1 IN of MAX232 is connected to pin
no 10 P3.0 RXD of microcontroller and pin no 12
R1OUT OF MAX 232 is connected to pin no11 P3.1
TXD of microcontroller.
SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION
 EXPRESS PCB:
 Express PCB is free PCB software and is a snap to learn and use. With this, designing
circuit boards is simple for the beginner and efficient for the professional.
 There are two parts to Express PCB, CAD software and board manufacturing service.CAD software
includes Express SCH for drawing schematics and Express PCB for designing circuit boards.
 We begin by drawing a schematic using ExpressSCH.
 Next, we use the ExpressPCB program to lay out our PC board. If link our schematic to
ExpressPCB, it will guide us through the wiring process.

 EMBEDDED C:

 Embedded C is language for programming microcontroller for embedded

applications. There is a large - and growing – international demand for
programmers with 'embedded' skills, and many desktop developers are
starting to move into this important area.
 The reasons for writing programs in C
 It is easier and less time consuming to write in C than Assembly
 C is easier to modify and update
 We can use code available in function libraries
 C code is portable to other microcontroller
SAMPLE PROGRAM IN EMBEDDED
C
 KEIL COMPILER:

 Keil is basically compiler to compile embedded C programs. The

Keil 8051 Development Tools are designed to solve the complex
problems facing embedded software developers.
 It is compiler for debugging an Embedded C Program. It creates
hex file from the compiled C program which can be burned into IC
CREATING HEX FILE
 Check the Create HEX File box
under Options for Target —
Output, and μ Vision will
automatically create a HEX file
during the build process.
 Select the desired HEX format
through the drop-down control to
generate formatted HEX files, which
are required on some Flash
programming utilities.
 VISUAL BASIC:

Visual Basic (VB) is an event driven programming language

and associated development environment from Microsoft for its
COM programming model. Visual Basic was derived from
BASIC and enables the rapid application development (RAD)
of graphical user interface (GUI) applications.
Visual Basic Interfaces Mobile-PC and PC-microcontroller and
provides a graphical user interface to access and monitor the
system. A user interface window is created.
FORM(USER INTERFACE
WINDOW)
 USER INTERFACE
WINDOW
 It is the main window which will be visible to administrator.
 In the message assigned box, we have to assign SIM position of the
message which will be extracted by the system.
 In the port assigned box, we will type the port number which is
assigned to us by PC when we connect Bluetooth to it.
 Get message is selected when we have to start getting messages
from mobile.
 Send message is selected when we have to stop getting message
and send message to user for conveying any kind of information
 USER INTERFACE WINDOW

 The two left windows are there to show password and message
respectively.
 The right window shows the AT command internal processing by
the VB program
 The password setting button in the middle will link us to
password setting window as explained in the next section…..
 PASSWORD SETTINGS

 Since our project deals with multiple users, individual

passwords are provided to each user.
 In our project, we have authorized 3 users and a 3-letter
length password is assigned to each one. Individually. If due
to any reason, user wants to change its password, they can
contact administrator at PC.
 They can choose their password of their choice and their
personal password would be changed.
