MICROPROCESSOR AND INTERFACING LAB EEE 424, SEC : A

PROJECT: DESIGN AND SOFTWARE IMPLEMENTATION OF BANGLA TWO DIGIT COUNTER USING DOT MATRIX DISPLAY.

Project Summary:
The main objective of our project was to design a two digit counter that can count from 0 to 99 in bangla numbers.
Designing Elements : One AT89C51 micro-controller. Two 8 8 Dot Matrix Displays. NOT Gates. Wires.

How a Dot-Matrix works

There are 64 LEDs in a 8 by 8 matrix. The LEDs become activated if the cathode (row) is connected to the ground and the anode (column) is connected to a positive supply. If the matrix is turned on and off within a period of 25ms, then our eyes cannot catch up with the flickering and we are able to see a flicker-free display.

Code Algorithm

In the software code, we have used data pointer (DPTR) to call for different digits which are shown in the matrix. Each single digit is specified in DB directives and stored in memory locations using ORG directives. For example, the DB directive code for ek(bangla) is as follows: ORG 0116H DB 80H, 01H,42H,02H, 25H,04H, 15H,08H, 0DH,10H, 06H,20H, 00H,40H, 00H,80H Port 1 and 3 are used to send data codes column-wise and port 2 is used as a common port to activate the rows. First display activates when port 1 and 2 are used and second display activates when port 3 and 2 are used.

Limitation

We faced difficulty in setting the precise delay to display the digits properly without any flickering.
