This project “DIGITAL CALENDAR” using microcontroller ia an advanced digital

calendar, which displays the Seconds,Minutes,Hours, Date, Day, Month over the LCD
display. It has the advantage of setting these features. It has an 8-bit microcontroller
which runs on the program embedded on its ROM.

Methodology:
This project consists of seven major blocks. They are
1)Power supply 2)Microcontroller 3)RTC 4)Key pad 5) LCD Display
1) Power supply:
Since we are using electronic components which only work on DC we should supply
DC power to them. So we convert 220V a.c to required amount of DC power. It converts
a.c to DC using following sequence. Transformer to rectifier circuit to filter to regulator.
The output of regulator is DC. Here we are using two regulators (7805, 7812) due to our
requirement. LEDs indicate the supply of power.

2
 2) Micro controller:
We are using 8952micro controller in this project. Micro controller is the control unit of
the project. All the devices are connected to the micro controller. Its function is to receive
the signal from RTC and to transmit the signal to LCD display. The appropriate date and
time would we displayed on the LCD screen.
3) RTC:
It’s a drop in replacement for IBM at computer clock/calendar. Totally non-volatile with
over 10 years of operation in the absence of power, self contained sub-system includes
lithium, quartz and support circuitry. It counts seconds, minutes, hours, days, day of the
week, date, month, and year with leap year compensation valid upto 100 years.

4)Keypad:

It is used to update the date and time when the microcontroller is reset.

5)LCD Display:
It is another output device of the system. We used 2X16 LCD display. As and when
an interruption occurs it displays the type and location of interruption with the help of
micro controller.

 2. EMBEDDED SYSTEMS

2.1 DEFINITIONS

Embedded system is a combination of hardware and software; it is also named

as “Firm ware”.

An embedded system is a special purpose computer system, which is completely

encapsulated by the device it controls. It is a computer-controlled system

An embedded system is a specialized system that is a part of a larger system or

machine. As a part of a larger system it largely determines its functionality. Embedded

systems are electronic devices that incorporate microprocessors with in their

implementations. The main purposes of the microprocessors are simplifying the system

design and improve flexibility. In the embedded systems, the software is often stored in a

read only memory (RAM) chip.

Embedded systems provide several major functions including monitoring of the

analog environment by reading data from sensors and controlling actuators.

2.2 EXAMPLES OF EMBEDDED SYSTEMS

Embedded systems are found in wide range of application areas. Originally they

were used only for expensive industrial control applications, but as technology brought

down the cost of dedicated processors, they began to appear in moderately expensive

applications such as automobiles, communication and office equipments and television

5
Today's embedded systems are so inexpensive that they are used in almost every

electronic product in our life. Embedded systems are often designed for mass production.

Some examples of embedded systems:

• Automatic Teller Machines

• Cellular telephone and telephone switches

• Computer network equipment

• Computer printers

• Disk drives

• Engine controllers and antilock break controllers for automobiles

• Home automation products

• Handheld calculators

• Household appliances

• Medical equipment

• Measurement equipment

• Multifunction wrist watches

• Multifunction printers

• Mobile phones with additional capabilities

• Programmable Logic Controllers

2.3 ADVANTAGES

• One of the advantages of an embedded system is to decrease power

consumption and space.

6
 • All embedded systems that are based on microcontroller have low power

consumption in addition to some form of I\O,COM port and ROM all on a

single chip.

2.4 DISADVANTAGES

• Higher Hardware/Software development overhead

• Design, Compilers, Debuggers may result in delayed time to market

2.5 APPLICATIONS

• Military and aerospace software applications

• Communication applications

• Electronics applications and consumer devices

• Industrial automation and process control software

3. MICROPROCESSOR AND MICROCONTROLLER

3.1 OVERVIEW

Microprocessors and microcontrollers are used in embedded system products. An

embedded product uses a microprocessor (or microcontroller) to do one task and one task

only.

Microprocessor as the term come to be known is a general purpose digital

computer central processing unit. Although popularly known as a "computer on chip", the

microprocessor is in no sense a complete digital computer.

Microprocessor CPU contains Arithmetic Logical Unit, a program counter, a

stack pointer, some working registers, a clock timing circuits and interrupt circuit.

To make complete microcomputer memory must add, usually Read Only

Memory, Random Access Memory, memory decoders and an Input/Output devices. In

addition special purpose devices such as interrupts, counters may be added to relieve the

CPU from time consuming counting or timing chores.

The hardware design of microprocessor CPU is arranged so that a small or very

large system can be configured around the CPU as the application demands. The internal

CPU architecture as well as the resultant machine level code that operates that

architecture is comprehensive but as flexible as possible.

The prime use of microprocessor is to read data perform extensive calculations on

that data and store those calculations in mass storage devices or display the results for

user use. The program is used by microprocessor are stored in the mass storage devices

and loaded into RAM as the user directs.

8
 A microcontrollers is a computer on a single chip .Micro suggest that the device is

small and controller tells that the device is used to control objects, process or events

Microcontroller is a highly integrated chip that contains all the devices

comprising a computer. Typically this includes a CPU, RAM, Input/ Output ports, timers,

interrupts. So microcontroller is also called as "true computer on a chip". Unlike a

general purpose computer which also includes all of these devices. A microcontroller is

designed for a very specific task to control a particular system.

A microcontroller is a general purpose device but one that is meant to read data,

performs limited calculations on that data and control its environment based on those

calculations.

The prime use of microcontroller is to control the operation of machine using a

fixed program that is stored in ROM that does not change over the life time of the system.

3.2 ADVANTAGES

The advantages of microcontroller over microprocessor are

• cost is less

• speed is more

• power consumption is less

• compact device

• external components are minimum

9
3.3 MICROPROCESSOR VERSUS MICROCONTROLLER

The contrast between microprocessor and microcontroller is best exemplified by

the fact that:

• Most microprocessor have operational codes for moving data from

external memory to CPU, microcontroller may have one or two.

• Microprocessor may have one or two types of bit handling instructions

microcontroller will have many.

• Microprocessor concerned with rapid movement of code and data from

external address to the chip, microcontroller is concerned with rapid data

movement of bits with in chip.

• Microcontroller can function as a computer with out addition of external

devices, but microprocessor must have many additions to operate an

computer.

3.4 A BRIEF HISTORY OF 8051

In 1981, Intel Corporation introduced an 8 bit microcontroller called 8051. This

microcontroller had 128 bytes of RAM, 4K bytes of chip ROM, two timers, one serial

port, and four ports all on a single chip. At the time it was also referred as “A SYSTEM

ON A CHIP”

The 8051 is an 8-bit processor meaning that the CPU can work only on 8 bits data

at a time. Data larger than 8 bits has to be broken into 8 bits pies es to be processed by the

CPU. The 8051 has a total of four I\O ports each 8 bit wide.

10
 There are many versions of 8051 with different speeds and amount of on-chip

ROM and they are all compatible with the original 8051. This means that if you write a

program for one it will run on any of them.

The 8051 is an original member of the 8051 family. There are two other members

in the 8051 family of microcontrollers. They are 8052 and 8031. All the three

microcontrollers will have the same internal architecture, but they differ in the following

aspects.

• 8031 has 128 bytes of RAM, two timers and 6 interrupts.

• 8051 has 4K ROM, 128 bytes of RAM, two timers and 6 interrupts.

• 8052 has 8K ROM, 128 bytes of RAM, three timers and 8 interrupts.

Of the three microcontrollers, 8051 is the most preferable. Microcontroller

supports both serial and parallel communication.

In the concerned project 8052 microcontroller is used. Here microcontroller used

is AT89C52, which is manufactured by ATMEL laboratories.

11
 4. 8952 MICROCONTROLLER

4.1 DESCRIPTION OF 8952 MICROCONTROLLER

The AT89C52 provides the following standard features: 8Kbytes of Flash, 256

bytes of RAM, 32 I/O lines, three 16-bit timer/counters, a six-vector two-level interrupt

architecture, a full duplex serial port, on-chip oscillator, and clock circuitry. In addition,

the AT89C52 is designed with static logic for operation down to zero frequency and

supports two software selectable power saving modes. The Idle Mode stops the CPU

while allowing the RAM, timer/counters, serial port, and interrupt system to continue

functioning. The Power down Mode saves the RAM contents but freezes the oscillator,

disabling all other chip functions until the next hardware reset.

By combining a versatile 8-bit CPU with Flash on a monolithic chip, the Atmel

AT89C52 is a powerful microcomputer which provides a highly flexible and cost

effective solution to many embedded control applications.

• Endurance: 1,000 Write/Erase Cycles

• Fully Static Operation: 0 Hz to 24 MHz

• Three-Level Program Memory Lock

12
 • Three 16-Bit Timer/Counters

• Eight vector two level Interrupt Sources

• Low Power Idle and Power Down Modes

In addition, the AT89C52 is designed with static logic for operation down to zero

frequency and supports two software selectable power saving modes.

The Idle Mode stops the CPU while allowing the RAM, timer/counters, serial port

and interrupt system to continue functioning. The Power down Mode saves the RAM

contents but freezes the oscillator disabling all other chip functions until the next

hardware reset.

4.4 PIN CONFIGURATIONS

FIGURE 4:PIN DIAGRAM OF 8952

Pin Description

• VCC

Pin 40 provides Supply voltage to the chip. The voltage source is +5v

• GND.

Pin 20 is the grounded

• Port 0

15
 Port 0 is an 8-bit open drain bidirectional I/O port from pin 32 to 39. As an output

port each pin can sink eight TTL inputs. When 1s are written to port 0 pins, the pins can

be used as high-impedance inputs. Port 0 may also be configured to be the multiplexed

low-order address/data bus during accesses to external program and data memory. In this

mode P0 has internal pull-ups.

Port 0 also receives the code bytes during Flash programming, and outputs the

code bytes during program verification. External pull-ups are required during program

verification.

• Port 1

Port 1 is an 8-bit bidirectional I/O port with internal pull-ups from pin 1 to 8. The

Port 1 output buffers can sink/source four TTL inputs. When 1s are written to Port 1 pins

they are pulled high by the internal pull-ups and can be used as inputs. As inputs, Port 1

pins that are externally being pulled low will source current (IIL) because of the internal

pull-ups. Port 1 also receives the low-order address bytes during Flash programming and

program verification.

• Port 2

Port 2 is an 8-bit bidirectional I/O port with internal pull-ups from pin 21 to 28.

The Port 2 output buffers can sink / source four TTL inputs. When 1s are written to Port

2 pins they are pulled high by the internal pull-ups and can be used as inputs. As inputs,

Port 2 pins that are externally being pulled low will source current (IIL) because of the

internal pull-ups.

Port 2 emits the high-order address byte during fetches from external program

memory and during accesses to external data memory that uses 16-bit addresses (MOVX

16
@ DPTR). In this application it uses strong internal pull-ups when emitting 1s. During

accesses to external data memory that uses 8-bit addresses (MOVX @ RI), Port 2 emits

the contents of the P2 Special Function Register. Port 2 also receives the high-order

address bits and some control signals during Flash programming and verification.

• Port 3

Port 3 is an 8-bit bidirectional I/O port with internal pull-ups from pin 10 to 17.

The Port 3 output buffers can sink / source four TTL inputs. When 1s are written to

Port 3 pins they are pulled high by the internal pull-ups and can be used as inputs. As

inputs, Port 3 pins that are externally being pulled low will source current (IIL)

because of the pull-ups.

Port 3 also serves the functions of various special features of the AT89C51 as

listed below:

TABLE 1: SPECIAL FEATURES OF 89C52

Port 3 also receives some control signals for Flash programming and

programming verification.

17
 • RST

Pin 9 is the Reset input. It is active high. Upon applying a high pulse to this pin,

the microcontroller will reset and terminate all activities. A high on this pin for two

machine cycles while the oscillator is running resets the device.

• ALE/PROG

Address Latch is an output pin and is active high. Address Latch Enable output

pulse for latching the low byte of the address during accesses to external memory.

This pin is also the program pulse input (PROG) during Flash programming. In

normal operation ALE is emitted at a constant rate of 1/6 the oscillator frequency, and

may be used for external timing or clocking purposes.

Note, however, that one ALE pulse is skipped during each access to external Data

Memory. If desired, ALE operation can be disabled by setting bit 0 of SFR location

8EH. With the bit set, ALE is active only during a MOVX or MOVC instruction.

Otherwise, the pin is weakly pulled high. Setting the ALE-disable bit has no effect if

the microcontroller is in external execution mode.

• PSEN

Program Store Enable is the read strobe to external program memory. When the

AT89C52 is executing code from external program memory, PSEN is activated twice

each machine cycle, except that two PSEN activations are skipped during each access to

external data memory.

• EA/VPP

18
 External Access Enable. EA must be strapped to GND in order to enable the

device to fetch code from external program memory locations starting at 0000H up to

FFFFH. Note, however, that if lock bit 1 is programmed, EA will be internally latched on

reset. EA should be strapped to VCC for internal program executions. This pin also

receives the 12-volt programming enable voltage (VPP) during Flash programming, for

parts that require 12-volt VPP.

• XTAL1

Input to the inverting oscillator amplifier and input to the internal clock operating

circuit.

• XTAL2

Output from the inverting oscillator amplifier.

4.5 OSCILLATOR CHARACTERISTICS

XTAL1 and XTAL2 are the input and output, respectively, of an inverting

amplifier which can be configured for use as an on chip oscillator, as shown in Figure .

Either a quartz crystal or ceramic resonator may be used. To drive the device from an

external clock source, XTAL2 should be left unconnected while XTAL1 is driven as

shown in Figure.

19
 FIGURE 5:CRYSTAL CONNECTIONS

FIGURE 6:EXTERNAL CLOCK DRIVE CONFIGURATION

There are no requirements on the duty cycle of the external clock signal, since the

input to the internal clocking circuitry is through a divide-by two flip-flop, but minimum

and maximum voltage high and low time specifications must be observed.

20
4.6 TIMERS

o Timer 0 and 1

Timer 0 and Timer 1 in the AT89C52 operate the same way as Timer 0 and Timer

1 in the AT89C51.

o Timer 2

Timer 2 is a 16-bit Timer/Counter that can operate as either a timer or an event

counter. The type of operation is selected by bit C/T2 in the SFR T2CON. Timer 2 has

three operating modes: capture, auto-reload (up or down counting), and baud rate

generator. The modes are selected by bits in T2CON, as shown in Table . Timer 2

consists of two 8-bit registers, TH2 and TL2. In the Timer function, the TL2 register is

incremented every machine cycle. Since a machine cycle consists of 12 oscillator periods,

the count rate is 1/12 of the oscillator frequency.

TABLE 2: TIMER 2 OPERATING MODES

In the Counter function, the register is incremented in response to a 1-to-0

transition at its corresponding external input pin, T2. In this function, the external input is

sampled during S5P2 of every machine cycle. When the samples show a high in one

cycle and a low in the next cycle, the count is incremented. The new count value appears

21
in the register during S3P1 of the cycle following the one in which the transition was

detected. Since two machine cycles (24 oscillator periods) are required to recognize a 1-

to-0 transition, the maximum count rate is 1/24 of the oscillator frequency. To ensure that

a given level is sampled at least once before it changes, the level should be held for at

least one full machine cycle.

There are no restrictions on the duty cycle of external input signal, but it should

for at least one full machine to ensure that a given level is sampled at least once before it

changes

4.7 INTERRUPTS

The AT89C52 has a total of six interrupt vectors: two external interrupts (INT0

and INT1), three timer interrupts (Timers 0, 1, and 2), and the serial port interrupt. These

interrupts are all shown in Figure .

FIGURE 7:INTERRUPTS SOURCE

22
 Each of these interrupt sources can be individually enabled or disabled by setting

or clearing a bit in Special Function Register IE. IE also contains a global disable bit, EA,

which disables all interrupts at once.

Note that Table shows that bit position IE.6 is unimplemented. In the AT89C51,

bit position IE.5 is also unimplemented. User software should not write 1s to these bit

positions, since they may be used in future AT89 products.

TABLE 3: INTERRUPTS ENABLE REGISTER

Timer 2 interrupt is generated by the logical OR of bits TF2 and EXF2 in register

T2CON. Neither of these flags is cleared by hardware when the service routine is

23
vectored to. Infact the service routine may have to determine whether it was TF2 or

EXF2 that generated the interrupt, and that bit will have to be clear in software.

The Timer 0 and Timer 1 flags, TF0 and TF1, are set at S5P2 of the cycle in

which the timers overflow. The values are then polled by the circuitry in the next cycle.

However, the Timer 2 flag, TF2, is set at S2P2 and is polled in the same cycle in which

the timer overflows.

Idle Mode :

In idle mode, the CPU puts itself to sleep while all the on-chip peripherals remain

active. The mode is invoked by software. The content of the on-chip RAM and all the

special functions registers remain unchanged during this mode. The idle mode can be

terminated by any enabled interrupt or by a hardware reset. It should be noted that when

idle is terminated by a hardware reset, the device normally resumes program execution,

from where it left off, up to two machine cycles before the internal reset algorithm takes

control.

On-chip hardware inhibits access to internal RAM in this event, but access to the

port pins is not inhibited. To eliminate the possibility of an unexpected write to a port pin

when Idle is terminated by reset, the instruction following the one that invokes Idle

should not be one that writes to a port pin or to external memory.

Power down Mode:

In the power down mode the oscillator is stopped, and the instruction that invokes

power down is the last instruction executed. The on-chip RAM and Special Function

Registers retain their values until the power down mode is terminated. The only exit from

power down is a hardware reset. Reset redefines the SFRs but does not change the on-

24
chip RAM. The reset should not be activated before VCC is restored to its normal

operating level and must be held active long enough to allow the oscillator to restart and

stabilize.

TABLE 4: STATUS OF EXTERNAL PINS DURING IDLE AND POWER DOWN MODE

Programming Interface:

Every code byte in the Flash array can be written and the entire array can be

erased by using the appropriate combination of control signals. The write operation cycle

is self-timed and once initiated, will automatically time itself to completion.

TABLE 5: FLASH PROGRAMMING MODES

25
 5. POWER SUPPLY

There are many types of power supply. Most are designed to convert high voltage
AC mains electricity to a suitable low voltage supply for electronics circuits and other
devices. A power supply can by broken down into a series of blocks, each of which
performs a particular function.

For example a 5V regulated supply can be shown as below

FIGURE 8:BLOCK DIAGRAM OF REGULATED POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM

Similarly, 12v regulated supply can also be produced by suitable selection of the
individual elements. Each of the blocks is described in detail below and the power
supplies made from these blocks are described below with a circuit diagram and a graph
of their output:

5.1 TRANSFORMER
A transformer steps down high voltage AC mains to low voltage AC. Here we are
using a center-tap transformer whose output will be sinusoidal with 36volts peak to peak
value.

26
 FIGURE 9: OUTPUT WAVEFORM OF TRANSFORMER

The low voltage AC output is suitable for lamps, heaters and special AC motors.
It is not suitable for electronic circuits unless they include a rectifier and a smoothing
capacitor. The transformer output is given to the rectifier circuit.

5.2 RECTIFIER
A rectifier converts AC to DC, but the DC output is varying. There are several
types of rectifiers; here we use a bridge rectifier.
The Bridge rectifier is a circuit, which converts an ac voltage to dc voltage
using both half cycles of the input ac voltage. The Bridge rectifier circuit is shown in the
figure. The circuit has four diodes connected to form a bridge. The ac input voltage is
applied to the diagonally opposite ends of the bridge. The load resistance is connected
between the other two ends of the bridge.
For the positive half cycle of the input ac voltage, diodes D1 and D3 conduct, whereas
diodes D2 and D4 remain in the OFF state. The conducting diodes will be in series with
the load resistance RL and hence the load current flows through RL.
For the negative half cycle of the input ac voltage, diodes D2 and D4 conduct
whereas, D1 and D3 remain OFF. The conducting diodes D2 and D4 will be in series
with the load resistance RL and hence the current flows through RL in the same direction
as in the previous half cycle. Thus a bi-directional wave is converted into unidirectional.

27
 FIGURE 10:BRIDGE RECTIFIER CIRCUIT

FIGURE 11:THE OUTPUT WAVEFORM OF THE RECTIFIER

The varying DC output is suitable for lamps, heaters and standard motors. It is not
suitable for electronic circuits unless they include a smoothing capacitor.
5.3 SMOOTHENING

The smoothing block smoothes the DC from varying greatly to a small ripple.
The ripple voltage is defined as the deviation of the load voltage from its DC value.
Smoothing is also named as filtering.
Filtering is frequently effected by shunting the load with a capacitor. The action
of this system depends on the fact that the capacitor stores energy during the conduction
period and delivers this energy to the loads during the no conducting period. In this way,
the time during which the current passes through the load is prolongated, and the ripple is
considerably decreased. The action of the capacitor is shown with the help of waveform.

28
 FIGURE 12:CAPACITOR AND ITS OUTPUT WAVEFORM

FIGURE 13: THE WAVEFORM OF THE RECTIFIED OUTPUT AFTER SMOOTHENING

5.4 REGULATOR
Regulator eliminates ripple by setting DC output to a fixed voltage. Voltage
regulator ICs are available with fixed (typically 5, 12 and 15V) or variable output
voltages. Negative voltage regulators are also available
Many of the fixed voltage regulator ICs has 3 leads (input, output and high impedance).
They include a hole for attaching a heat sink if necessary. Zener diode is an example of
fixed regulator which is
shown here.

DESCRIPTION :

The DS12C887A real-time clock plus RAM is designed to be a direct upgrade

replacement for the DS12887A in existing IBM-compatible personal computers to add
hardware year-2000 compliance. A century byte was added to memory location 50, 32h,
as called out by the PC AT specification. The DS12C887A is identical in form, fit, and
function to the DS1287A, and provides additional 64 bytes of general-purpose RAM.
Access to this additional RAM space is determined by the logic level presented on AD6
during the address portion of an access cycle. The RCLR pin is used to clear (set to logic
1) all 113 bytes of general purpose RAM but does not affect the RAM associated with the
real time clock. In order
to clear the RAM, RCLR must be forced to an input logic 0 (-0.3V to +0.8V) during
battery-backup mode when VCC is not applied. The RCLR function is designed to be
used via human interface (shorting to ground manually or by switch) and not to be driven
with external buffers. For a complete description of operating conditions, electrical
characteristics, bus timing and pin descriptions other than RCLR , see the DS12C887
data sheet.

 7.LCD

7.1 OVERVIEW

The alphanumeric 16character X 2line LCD requires 8data lines and also 3
control signals and they are interfaced to 3664.By using 2 ports, port 0&3 data pins are
connected to LCD as data bus. Port0 can be basically used as I/O port i.e. it can be
programmed as an input or as an output port.
That means if it is programmed as output port, suppose if it is required to read data
from LCD immediately it is not possible. Before reading the data it is required to make
the port as an input port. Data reading from LCD gives an erroneous reading & should
not be implemented. Because of this port5 is made as input / output port depending on the
situation. The control signals are connected to port 3 pins. They are EN bar & RS bar,
RW bar. At different instance such as data write / command write / data read etc. Various
signals are to be provided as indicated by the by the LCD manufacturers.
To interface the LCD, to the Micro controller it require an 8 bit and also three control
signals differentiate the data from the control words send to the LCD. The Micro
controller has to send the necessary control words followed by the data to be displayed.
Depending on the operation to be performed the control words are selected and
passes to the LCD. The data to be displayed on the LCD is to be sent in the ASCII
format. Thus all the character to be displayed are converted into ASCII form and then
sent to the LCD along with different control words. The control word differentiated the
various operations and are executed. It is also possible to read the LCD data if required.

34
 The control signals to the LCD are also provided by the Micro controller. This is
also done through pins 3.5,3.6&3.7.Through program necessary control signals are
passed to the LCD by using the bits of the port. The remaining can be used for some
other purpose if there is a need. The software controls the necessary ports and performs
the task it is designed for. The soft ware and associated hardware perform the LCD
interface.

liquid but whose molecular structure has some properties normally associated with solids.
The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is a low power device. The power requirement is
typically in the order of microwatts for the LCD. However, an LCD requires an external
or internal light source. It is limited to a temperature range of about 0C to 60C and
lifetime is an area of concern, because LCDs can chemically degrade.
There are major types of LCD’s which are :
1) Dynamic-scattering LCD s
2) Field-effect LCD s
Field-effect LCD s are normally used in such applications where source of energy is a
prime factor (e.g., watches, portable instrumentation etc.).They absorb considerably less

35
power than the light-scattering type. However, the cost for field-effect units is typically
higher, and their height is limited to 2 inches. On the other hand, light-scattering units are
available up to 8 inches in height. Field-effect LCD is used in the project for displaying
the appropriate information. The turn-on and turn-off time is an important consideration
in all displays. The response time of LCD s is in the range of 100 to 300ms.The lifetime
of LCD s is steadily increasing beyond 10,000+hours limit. Since the colour generated by
LCD units is dependent on the source of illumination, there is a wide range of colour
choice.

LCD
To send any of the commands from given table to the lcd, make pin RS =0.For
data, make RS=1.then send a high to low pulse to the E pin to enable the internal latch of
the LCD As shown in figure for LCD connections.

 9.CONCLUSION

Embedded systems are emerging as a technology with high potential. In the past decades
micro processor based embedded system ruled the market. The last decade witnessed the
revolution of Microcontroller based embedded systems. This project basically deals with
how many number of persons are in the room very accurately with the help of
Microcontroller. With regards to the requirements gathered the manual work and the
complexity in counting can be achieved with the help of electronic devices.
