ABSTRACT

Notice Board is primary thing in any institution / organization or public utility places like bus
stations, railway stations and parks, but sticking various notices day-to-day is a difficult process.
A separate person is required to take care of this notices display. This project deals about an
advanced hi-tech wireless notice board.

The main objective of the project is to develop a wireless notice board that displays notices
when a message is sent from the users mobile. While the user sends the message from the
mobile, it is received and retrieved by the GSM modem at the display unit. It is then sent to the
microcontroller (8051) that further displays the notice sent from the user no to the electronic
notice board which is equipped with a 16X2 LCD display. The power supply consists of a step-
down transformer 230/12V, which steps down the voltage to 12V AC. This is converted to DC
using a Bridge rectifier. The ripples are removed using a capacitive filter and it is then regulated
to +5V using a voltage regulator 7805 which is required for the operation of the microcontroller
and other components.

2. LITERATURE REVIEW

For increasing the lack of frequencies

in the
radiotelephone services with the
development of
cellular networks in the 1970’s which
in turn lead to
introduction of AMPS (Advanced
Mobile Phone
System) where the transmission was
analog based. This
was known to be the first generation
in cellular
networks. The second generation in
cellular networks
was based on digital transmission and
was called with
various abbreviations as GSM (Global
System for
Mobile communications), ERMES
(European Radio

6
Messaging System). Various Cordless
telephone
standards were also introduced
throughout this time
only. The third generation has risen with
the unification
of different technologies and some of
them that are
popularly known are FPLMTS
(Future Public Land
Mobile Telecommunications System),
UMTS
(Universal Mobile Telecommunication
System), and
IMT-2000(International Mobile
Telecommunication)

Notice boards are best for using at home, at work, in school and in catering related businesses
such as pubs and restaurants. They, being useful also look great as well. There are so many
types available. Felt Noticeboards-They can come in no end of colors. Cork Notice Boards-
Cork notice boards are very similar to felt notice boards but without the cover. Magnetic
Notice Boards-Magnetic notice boards are great fun. You can buy variety of different
magnets for customization of board. One of the more popular magnetic notice boards is the
football board. And then came the digital notice boards, which were further improvised by
using wireless technologies. Wireless E-Notice board using GSM used
ATMEGA microcontroller and 16X2 LED display-to-display message. Further E-notice
board was developed as a web application which could be viewed from anywhere and at any
time. GSM technology is widely used whether it is calling or other SMS based projects like
GSM based Data Acquisition system, SMS based teaching and learning system, Multiple
units GSM controlled devices. The Raspberry Pi is a series of credit card sized single-board
computers developed by the Raspberry Foundation in England, United Kingdom with the
intention of promoting the teaching of basic computer science in schools and developing
countries. All Raspberry Pi include the same Video Core IV Graphics Processing Unit
(GPU), and one of single-core ARMv6-compatible CPU or newer ARMv7-compatible quad-
core one (in Pi 2). Pi2 has 1GB of RAM while Pi 1 models B and B+ have 512 MB and
models A and A+ have 256 MB. The Raspberry Pi Foundation, in 2014, launched the
Compute Module, to be used as a part of embedded systems for the same compute power as
the original Pi. In February 2015, the next-generation of Raspberry Pi, Raspberry Pi2, was
released. GSM, the most popular cellular technology in the world, has been deployed in 210
countries by 650 carriers and now accounts for 74% of the world’s total cellular market.
Although it handles voice efficiently, the support for advanced data applications is limited.
Although 3G is beginning to fill this gap, few of these networks achieve complete coverage
and still rely on the GSM network to cover those areas beyond the reach of 3G.  It is therefore
increasingly important to ease the transition between 3G and 2G by enhancing the GSM
network´s ability to provide data services. Special emphasis should be made to handover, cell
reselection and traffic balance between 2G and 3G networks to ensure the smoothest
communications system. The first step in GSM evolution is the introduction of GPRS, a 2.5G
technology, which shares a similar carrier bandwidth and modulation model as GSM. As

8
such most of the components in the GSM system can be reused in the GPRS network.
Principal new infrastructure elements like the Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN),
Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) and Packet Control Unit (PCU) can be easily added to
GSM infrastructure. The upgrade to GPRS is mainly software-based in the Base Transceiver
System (BTS) thereby easing CAPEX costs. The theoretical peak data rate of GPRS is
171.2Kbps, but this still falls short of the requirements of multimedia users. However, as
GPRS can be so easily introduced into GSM networks and at such low cost, it is a simple
evolution of GSM and is better able to supplement a 3G network. ZTE’s present GSM
solutions all support GPRS. Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) is an evolved
version of the GPRS. It is regarded as the key migrationary step between GSM and 3G
networks. To date, more than 100 EDGE networks have been deployed. In Q2 2005, ZTE
began to offer EDGE services that support Modulation and Coding Schemes MCS1-MCS9
and multiple timeslots per user. This differs from GPRS modulation by using eight-phase-
shift keying (8PSK) but does reach peak data rates of 384 Kbps. The GSM bearer services
need to be extended to support real-time services and the PCU of the Base Station Controller
(BSC) requires both software and hardware upgrades-needless to say this constitutes a more
considerable investment than the upgrade to GPRS.
There are many wireless communication technologies like Bluetooth, RF Communication,
ZigBee, etc. but GSM Technology based communication allows long range, reliable and
secure communication.
The Wireless Electronic Notice Board using GSM project, as the name suggests, is built
around GSM Technology as mobile phones (that communicate through GSM Technology)
have become very abundant, cheap and easy to use. The following are other works towards
notice board:

2.1 Message displayed on LCD Screen using GSM and Bluetooth Technology:

In this project model for electronic notice board is described which uses two different
technologies, GSM and Bluetooth for displaying on LCD screen. Here the main part is
Microcontroller 8051. The microcontroller is interfaced with GSM Modem via MAX232
level convertor. It is used to convert RS232 voltage levels to TTL voltage level and vice
versa. The hardware also has a 64K EEPROM. This EEPROM is used to store the timings
and messages to be displayed. While using Bluetooth technology, Bluetooth modem fetch the
message and sends it forward to the display board. When using GSM technology, GSM
module is used.

2.2 Android Based Wireless Notice Board and Printer:

This project deals about an advanced Hi-Tech wireless Notice Board. This system is
enhanced to display the latest information through an Android application of smart phones or
tablet. While user sends the message from the Android application device, it is received and
retrieved by the Bluetooth device at the display unit. The Bluetooth access password will
only be known to the user, it is then sent to the microcontroller that further displays the notice
sent from the user on the electronic notice board which is equipped with an LCD Monitor
display. It uses an Arduino system (AVR microcontroller) to control the operation. Bluetooth
wireless technology is becoming a popular standard in the wireless technologies. “Wireless
printers” refers to printers to printers in which a radio frequency (RF) connects the printer to
the network, a controlling PC, a handheld computer or both.

2.3 GSM Based Wireless Notice Board:

This paper describes the design and construction of E-notice board using GSM technology.
The system consists of four basic units: GSM modem, Raspberry pi board, LCD monitor and
Mobile device. The operation of the system is centered on Raspberry Board. The operation of
system is such that the notice which is to be displayed is send by the mobile device to the
GSM modem and displayed on the LCD monitor using Raspberry Pi board. The system is
based on real time process and saves lot of resources i.e. human effort. The main objective of
this project is to develop a wireless e-notice board that displays message sent from the user
and to design a simple, easy to install, user friendly system, user friendly system. Wi-Fi
provides higher data rates for multimedia access as compared to Bluetooth which provides

10
lower data transfer rates. Bluetooth are intended for communication (about 10m), while Wi-
Fi is designed for WLAN about 100m.

2.4 Android Controlled Digital Notice Board:

This presents a model about advanced wireless notice board. The project is built around
ARM controller, Raspberry-pi which is most important in this system. Display is obtained on
LCD monitor display. Remote control is the most popular system nowadays. The main
objective of this project as described in the project is to develop a wireless notice board
which can receive and display message sent from the user. The project aims at designing an
LCD monitor based message display controlled from an Android mobile phone. The
proposed system has a provision to communicate from Android phone to LCD display board.
Range of communication is large. Android contains a full set of tools that have been built
from the ground up alongside the platform providing developers with high productivity and
deep insight into their applications. As the Android applications is command center of the
notice board and this application is built around Android OS platform it will not support other
OS such as IOS, Windows, Blackberry, etc.

2.5 Remotely Controlled Android Based Electronic Notice Board:

This is dealing with hitch wireless electronic notice board. The main aim of the project is to
have an electronic notice board where the least information can be shorted by the faculty to
the students using Wi-Fi through connection terminal app. This message can be sent from any
Smart phone with Android OS upon GUI based on touch screen operation. Here 8051
Microcontroller is used. As the Wi-Fi module has its own IP address and port number that
will be known only to the user the system becomes more secure. When the user is sending the
message from android application device will be received by the Wi-Fi module. Along with
the notice messages, date and time, breaking news can be flashed timely.

3.1 Block Diagram:

Figure 3.1 Block Diagram of Electronics Notice Board system

3.2. Working Principle:

When we send the message from the mobile, the GSM Modem which is connected to the
Microcontroller and the display unit, will receive the message. Now, the microcontroller
reads the message from the GSM Modem and displays it on LCD.

When user sends the message from the mobile, GSM modem sends the below command
serially to indicate that a new message is received.

14
 +CMTI: “SM”,3

In the above command, number “3” indicates the location of the new message i.e. it is the
third message in the inbox. Now you need to read this unread message to display on LCD.
The command to read the message from GSM modem is

AT+CMGR=3

Here, the number “3” indicates the location of the message to be read. After giving this
command to the GSM module, it will send the below command serially.

+CMGR: “REC UNREAD”,”MD-WAYSMS”,”15/09/20,15:31:48+34″

Hello Sir

In the above command, “REC UNREAD” indicates that message is unread message, “MD-

WAYSMS” indicates sender mobile number or name, 15/09/20 indicates the
date, 15:31 indicates time and Hello sir is the content of the message.

From the above command we need to extract message (Hello sir) sent by the user to display it
on the notice board (LCD).

3.3 Circuit Algorithm:

1. Initialize the LCD and UART protocol.

2. Check for the command +CMTI: “SM”,3 (Location number) to know whether the
new message is received or not.
3. If you receive the command, then store message location number.
4. Now read that particular location and extract the body of the message.
5. Display the message on LCD.

3.4 Operate Wireless Electronic Notice Board using GSM:

1. Write the program to the wireless electronic notice board using Keil software.

15
2. Now burn the program to the microcontroller with the help of hardware programmer
and Willar Software.
3. Give the connections as per the circuit diagram.
4. Use power supply circuit to provide 5V DC to the microcontroller.
5. Insert the SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) to the GSM module.
6.  Now switch on the supply.
7. Send SMS to the GSM module using other mobile.
8. Now you can see the same message on LCD.

3.6.5 Connecting Wires:

Connecting wires provide a medium to an electrical current so that they can travel from one
point on a circuit to another. In the case of computers, wires are embedded into circuit boards
to carry pulses of electricity.

3.6.6 Potentiometer:

A potentiometer is a three-terminal resistor with a sliding or rotating contact that forms an

adjustable voltage divider. If only two terminals are used, one end and the wiper, it acts as
a variable resistor or rheostat. The measuring instrument called a potentiometer is essentially
a voltage divider used for measuring electric potential (voltage); the component is an
implementation of the same principle, hence its name. Potentiometers are commonly used to
control electrical devices such as volume controls on audio equipment. Potentiometers
operated by a mechanism can be used as position transducers, for example, in a joystick.
Potentiometers are rarely used to directly control significant power (more than a watt), since
the power dissipated in the potentiometer would be comparable to the power in the controlled
load.
