Microcontroller Based Electronic Voting Machine

icrocontroller Based Electronic Voting Machine(EVM) is design for five contenders. To prevent unauthorized access of this machine a system password is provided Without entering password, machine will not start. Further you can change the password as per your desire the length of password if 4 digit.

Working of EVM is very straight forward During initialization it initialize LCD to work in 8 bit mode. The ask user for password , it continuously check port pin 15,16 and 17 to revertive the password after getting four digit it check the password with its value if it is correct then it proceed to next step other wise it ask for password again with a buzzer sound. If password was correct it ask you to change the password? If you want then it will change it otherwise you can proceed to voting mode. In voting mode there are five contender shown on 16X2 LCD display. For voting them you need to enter the appropriate code to vote them further you can see the total vote for each contender as well as vote reset option with the same password. Data stored is in flash memory since PIC microcontroller has the ability to write its own flash program memory.

LCD
LCDs can add a lot to your application in terms of providing a useful interface for the user, debugging an application, or just giving it a professional look. The most common type of LCD controller is the Hitachi 44780, which provides a relatively simple interface between a processor and an LCD. LCDs can be added quite easily to an application and use as few as two digital output pins for control. The most common connector used for the 44780-

based LCDs is 14 pins in a row, with pin centers 2.5mm apart. The interface is a parallel bus, allowing simple and fast reading/writing of data to and from the LCD. The ASCII code to be displayed is eight bits long and is sent to the LCD either four or eight bits at a time. If four-bit mode is used, two nibbles of data are sent to make up a full eight-bit transfer. The Enable clock is used to initiate the data transfer within the LCD. Sending parallel data as either four or eight bits are the two primary modes of operation. Although there are secondary considerations and modes, deciding how to send the data to the LCD is the most crucial decision to be made for an LCD interface application. Eight-bit mode is best used when speed is required in an application. To wire a microcontroller to an LCD in four-bit mode, just the top four bits (DB4-7) are written to. The RS bit is used to select whether data or an instruction is being transferred between the microcontroller and the LCD. If the bit is set, then the byte at the current LCD cursor position can be read or written. When the bit is reset, either an instruction is being sent to the LCD or the execution status of the last instruction is read back. The bit descriptions for the different commands are: Reading data back is best used in applications that require data to be moved back and forth on the LCD. The busy flag can be polled to determine when the last instruction that has been sent has completed processing. For most applications, there really is no reason to read from the LCD. Usually tie R/W to ground and just wait the maximum amount of time for each instruction.

Microcontrller
PIC microcontrollers are unique in many ways. Several general characteristics of the PIC are Harvard architecture, RISC processor design, single-word instructions, machine and data memory configuration. The working can be well understand by the flow chart of the electronics
