Portable electronic devices are integral components in our daily life. Every
day new products are introduced to the market that utilizes embedded
computers in novel ways. In recent years, hardware such as
microprocessors, microcontrollers, and FPGA chips have become much
cheaper. Embedded systems are often required to provide Real-Time
response. The main elements that make embedded systems unique are its
reliability and ease in debugging. Some of the main devices used in
embedded products are Microprocessors and Microcontrollers.
Microprocessors are commonly referred to as general purpose processors
as they simply accept the inputs, process it and give the output. In contrast,
a microcontroller not only accepts the data as inputs but also manipulates
it, interfaces the data with various devices, controls the data and thus finally
gives the result. The project Rain detection with automatic closing of
window using AT89S52 Microcontroller is an exclusive project that can
control the servo motor according to the instructions given by the above
said microcontroller based on rain moisture sensor.

is being dedicated to handle a particular task, which may require
very powerful processors. For example, air traffic control
systems may usefully be viewed as embedded, even though they
involve mainframe computers and dedicated regional and
national networks between airports and radar sites.
Since the embedded system is dedicated to
specific tasks, design engineers can optimize it to reduce the size
and cost of the product and increase the reliability and
performance. Some embedded systems are mass-produced,
benefiting from economies of scale.
Physically embedded systems range from
portable devices such as digital watches and MP3 players, to
large stationary installations like traffic lights, factory
controllers, or the systems controlling nuclear power plants.
Complexity varies from low, with a single microcontroller chip,
to very high with multiple units, peripherals and networks
mounted inside a large chassis or enclosure.

KEIL

Keil compiler is software used where the machine

language code is written and compiled. After compilation, the
machine source code is converted into hex code which is to be
dumped into the microcontroller for further processing. Keil

in embedded systems products. Microcontroller is a
programmable device. A microcontroller has a cpu in
addition to a fixed amount of RAM , ROM, I/O ports and
a timer embedded all on a single chip. The fixed amount

5.3 Future Scope:

Our project “Rain detection with automatic

closing of window” is mainly intended to design an automatic
wiper which operates automatically as soon as rain sensor gives
the input.

The aim is to design and develop a control system

based an electronically controlled automotive rain operated
motor is called RAIN DETECTION WITH AUTOMATIC CLOSING
OF WINDOW. Rain operated motor is consists of conduction
sensor (Tough sensor) circuit, Control Unit, wiper motor and
glass frame. The sensor is used to detect the rain or water flow.
There is any rain on the class, the sensor senses the rain or flow
water and giving the control signal to the wiper motor.

The battery supplies the power to the sensor as

well as rain operated motor. Wiper motor is automatically ON
during the time of rainfall. The senor is fixed in the vehicle glass.
The conductive (Touch) sensor is used in this project. It senses
the rainfall and giving control signal to the control unit. The
control unit activates the wiper motor automatically. This
operation is called Rain detection with automatic closing of
window. This project can be extended using high efficiency GSM
module. The GSM module gives the intimation of the person with
this system through SMS
