 The device based on digital compass, the raw
data for location coordinate where the blind
people stands is detect by digital compass,
processing these data by PIC microcontroller
to calculate real coordinate related with
current position, then translate it to specific
voice message which are presorted in voice
recorder, the blind person hears voice
message through the headset.
Our project aims to produce a navigation device for blind persons
that is more cheap by using little number of components and easy to
use, so that the blind person not need to do any thing just hearing
the voice message.

 Every embedded system requires dc voltage and that that will
be 5v supply
 We are getting 230v, 50 Hz in our house hold applications.
We can be used to operate the home appliances like T.V,
cooler, fan, light’s
 Digital electronic devices need digital supply and we can
get supply from regulated power supply block

 A microcontroller can be considered a self-contained system
with a processor, memory and peripherals and can be used
as an embedded system.

 The 16f72 micro controller is powerful (200 nanosecond

instruction execution) yet easy-to-program (only 35 single
word instructions) CMOS FLASH-based 8-bit
microcontroller.

 The PIC 16F72 is a 28 pin IC in the physical structure with

3 ports like port A (6 pins), port B (8 pins), port C (8 pins)
excluding the supply pins(4 pins).

• An electronic oscillator is an electronic circuit that
produces a repetitive Electronic signal, often a sine
wave or a square wave.

• PIC micro controller internally having 4mhz clock

frequency.

• We are giving the 20Mhz clock frequency as an

external source for increasing the system performance
 RESET BUTTON
 Reset is used for putting the microcontroller into a 'known'
condition. That practically means that microcontroller can
behave rather inaccurately under certain undesirable
conditions. In order to continue its proper functioning it has
to be reset.
 A switch placed between the digital input and ground will
short the digital input to ground when it is pressed.  This
means the voltage seen at the input will be high when the
switch is open and low when the switch is closed.
 The HMC5883L being a magnetometer sensor does the same thing. It has
the HMC5883L IC on it which is from Honeywell. This IC has 3 magneto-
resistive materials inside which are arranged in the axes x, y and z. The
amount of current flowing through these materials is sensitive to the earth’s
magnetic field. So by measuring the change in current flowing through
these materials we can detect the change in Earth’s magnetic field. Once the
change is magnetic field is absorbed the values can then be sent to any
embedded controller like a microcontroller or processor through the I2C
protocol.

 Auto and personal navigation
 Robotic navigation
 Location-based services (LBS)
 We are using APR33A3 circuit as voice circuit.

 APR33A3 is a low-cost high performance sound record/replay IC

incorporating flash analogue storage technique. Recorded sound is retained
even after power supply is removed from the module. The replayed sound
exhibits high quality with a low noise level.

 The IC can operate in one of two modes: serial mode and parallel mode. In
serial access mode, sound can be recorded in 256 sections. In parallel
access mode, sound can be recorded in 2, 4 or 8 sections. The IC can be
controlled simply using push button keys. It is also possible to control the
IC using external digital circuitry such as micro-controllers and computers.
