Abstract
The micro-controller based digital lock is an access control system that allows only authorized persons to access any restricted division. The major components include a keypad, LCD,
EEPROM and the micro-controller ATmega8A-PU which belongs to the 8159 8-bit series of
micro-controllers. The electronic control assembly allows the system to unlock the device with
a password. A four digit pre-defined password needs to be specified by the user. A 4x3 matrix
KEYPAD have been used here to set the password which is stored in the EEPROM so that we
can change it at any time. While unlocking, if the entered password from keypad matches with
the stored password, then the lock opens and a message is displayed on the LCD. Also an output
pin is made high to be used for further purposes. As the program starts, string Enter Password
is displayed on LCD. The keypad is scanned for pressed digits one by one. Every time row and
column of the key pressed is detected and the digit is displayed on LCD. If all the four digits
match with set password, LCD displays Access Granted and the lock output pin goes high
and the led glows. If the security code is wrong, Access Denied is displayed in the LCD and
the buzzer rings which is connected to one of the pins of the micro-controller.A relay circuit is
also present by means of which we are controlling one 12V DC fan and a 15W bulb (one at a
time), which will operate when the password matches.

Introduction
Security is a prime concern in our day-to-day life.Everyone wants to be as much secure as possible.The Micro-controller Based Password Protected Home Appliance is an access control
system that allows only authorized persons to access an appliance.The system is fully controlled
by the 8 bit micro-controller ATmega8.There is a Keypad by which the password can be entered
through it.When the entered password matches with the password stored in the memory then
we get access to the appliance.Presence of a stored EEPROM within the MCU which helps us
to modify the password everytime we want. If the stored password doesnt matches with the
given password, the buzzer will start to make noise, and the relay will not operate.

The objectives of our project are listed as below:

To protect home appliances from unauthorized persons.
We can operate both AC and DC components one at a time.
To design a keyless lock system by using electronic digital lock code.

Explaination

The Main Part of the above Circuit diagram is the micro-controller ATmega8. The Keypad is
the input device and it is connected in a matrix format so that the numbers of ports needed
are reduced. The micro-controller reads a four-digit password through the Keypad. Then the
micro-controller compares the four digit password with the number which is pre-programmed
and if it is equal then the micro-controller will switch on the relay for the appliance. The
7

Password is stored in the 1 EEPROM and the password can be changed at any time using the
same keypad.The power module should deliver constant output regulated power supply of 5V
for successful working of the project.For this IC 7805 voltage regulator is used, which supplies
power to the entire circuitry after downgrading the voltage from 12V DC.The stored EEPROM
within the MCU helps us to modify the password every time we want. If the stored password
doesnt matches with the given password, the buzzer connected to Pin 24 will start to make
noise, and the relay will not operate.
The entire circuit is divided into 4 modules:
Power Section Module
LCD Module
Keypad Module
Relay Section
All this modules are being interfaced with the ATmega8 microcontroller, which are being discussed as we move further in this report.

Why ATmega8?

Added EEPROM to store data over a power off time.

An internal oscillator and an internal power on reset make the AVR working without any
other components.
Due to the EEPROM, we can change the passwords any number of time.
The AVR is optimized for C-programming.
It allows programming and serial communication over 1 USB.

Pin Configuration and Explanation

Figure 6.1: Pin Configuration

Port B (PB7..PB0): It is a 8 bit Bi-directional,2 tri-stated I/O port with internal pull up
resistors.
Port C (PC5..PC0): Used as an 7-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors.
PC6: Used as an I/O pin, a low level on this pin for longer than the minimum pulse length
will generate a Reset.
Port D (PD7..PD0): It is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors.
2

Tri-state, or 3-state logic allows output ports to assume a high impedance state in addition to the fundamental

0 and 1 levels, effectively removing the output from the circuit. This allows multiple circuits to share the same
output line or lines (such as a bus).

10

 RESET: A low level on this pin for longer than the minimum pulse length will generate
a reset, even if the clock is not running.
AREF: It is the analog reference pin for the A/D Converter.

Source of Power

There were a few options available to us. We can either use batteries, a wall adapter, or a
1

SMPS. In our case we will be using a wall adapter, to power our whole circuitry, although

SMPS or a battery can be used in order to increase the portability.A 12V DC adapter is used in
this case, to power the circuit, proper arrangements were also made to protect the MCU from
high voltage over 5V.

Here, IC 7805 plays a pivotal role, it downgrades the 12V DC supply from the mains to a
constant 5V DC thereby protects the micro-controller from damage against overflow of current.
Here in this circuit the capacitors are acts as an Filter in this circuit.The ceramic capacitor
opposes the AC signal to flow through or appear at the output terminal.Here the Capacitors are
used across regulator in-order to obtain the stability.Ceramic capacitors handle noise and fast
transients.

LCD Display Interface

The dot-matrix liquid crystal display controller and driver LSI displays alphanumeric, characters, and symbols. It can be configured to drive a dot-matrix liquid crystal display under the
control of a 4 or 8-bit microprocessor. Since all the functions such as display RAM, character
generator, and liquid crystal driver, required for driving a dot-matrix liquid crystal display are
internally provided on one chip, a minimal system can be interfaced with this controller/driver.
A single HD44780U can display up to two 8-character lines (16 x 2).Micro controller send the
data signals through pin 11 through 18 (RC0-RC3) and control signal through 4,6 and 7 of the
micro controller. Pin no 3 of the LCD is used to control the contrast by using preset PR1.

Interfacing the LCD

Port PB0-PB5 is being interfaced with the pins of the LCD. The transistor Q1 acts as a pull up
transistor, which boosts the voltage from Pin 15 (Port PB1), to turn the LCD backlight ON. A
10 k preset is adjusted to get a proper LED display.

Interfacing the Keypad

The port PD0-PD7 is mapped with the eight interconnects of the Keypad.Port PD0-PD3 corresponds to the row of the 4X3 matrix, whereas the port PD4-PD7 corresponds to the column of
the same matrix.

Matrix Keypad Connection

The Keypad is the input device and it is connected in a matrix format so that the numbers of
ports needed are reduced.The matrix keypad is established in the following manner :
1. The rows R0 to R3 and C0 to C3 are connected to i/o pins of Micro-controller, by setting
the DDR they are connected and made Input/output.
2. At first Columns are kept at High Impedance State. And in their PORT value we set them
all as LOW.
3. One by One we make each Column LOW (from high Z state) and read state of R0 to R3.

Figure 9.2: Matrix Connection 1

4. C0 is made LOW while all other Columns are in HIGH Z State.

5. But when a key is pressed it is connected to LOW line from the column thus making it
LOW.

Figure 9.3: Matrix Connection 2

6. If ROWS are high the button is NOT pressed.

7. C0 High Z again and make C1 LOW. And read R0 to R3 again. This gives us status of
the second column of keys.
8. Similarly we can scan all columns C2 and C3

Relay
10.1

What is a Relay?

It is an electrical device, typically incorporating an electromagnet, which is activated by a current or signal in one circuit to open or close another circuit.The Electro-mechanical Relay is
an output device (actuator) which come in a whole host of shapes, sizes and designs, and have
many uses and applications in electronic circuits. But while electrical relays can be used to allow low power electronic or computer type circuits to switch relatively high currents or voltages
both ON or OF, some form of relay switch circuit is required to control it.

Figure 10.1: A simple Relay

20

10.2

Pin Description of a 5 pin Relay

There are four pins present in a Relay :

NO : Normally Open (NO), or make contact. It is open when the coil is de-energized
and closes when the coil is energized. It is useful in applications that must switch a single
power source of high current from a remote location.
NC : Normally Closed (NC), or break contact. It is closed in the de-energized position
and opens when the coil is energized. These contacts are useful in applications that require
the circuit to remain closed, and when the relay is activated, the circuit is shut off.
Common:. At no input state, the common (COM) is connected to (NC). When the operating voltage is applied the relay coil gets energized and the COM changes contact to
(NO).
Coils: The coil generates magnetic field when a small voltage from an electronic circuit
is applied to it. This voltage is called the Operating voltage.

Figure 10.2: Pin Diagram of a Relay

21

10.3

How does it works?

An iron core is surrounded by a control coil. As shown, the power source is given to the
electromagnet through a control switch and through contacts to the load. When current starts
flowing through the control coil, the electromagnet starts energizing and thus intensifies the
magnetic field. Thus the upper contact arm starts to be attracted to the lower fixed arm and
thus closes the contacts causing a short circuit for the power to the load. On the other hand,
if the relay was already de-energized when the contacts were closed, then the contact move
oppositely and make an open circuit.As soon as the coil current is off, the movable armature
will be returned by a force back to its initial position. This force will be almost equal to half
the strength of the magnetic force. This force is mainly provided by two factors. They are the
spring and also gravity.
Relays are mainly made for two basic operations. One is low voltage application and the
other is high voltage. For low voltage applications, more preference will be given to reduce the
noise of the whole circuit. For high voltage applications, they are mainly designed to reduce a
phenomenon called arcing.

When the relay gets activated, after the password matches then the peripheral devices
connected to it also starts working, but only one device can be operated at a time, both DC and
AC

Buzzer Interfacing
A buzzer connected to PORT C1 (PIN 24) of the micro controller through a driver transistor.
The buzzer requires 5 volts at a current of around 50 ma, which cannot be provided by the micro
controller. So the driver transistor is added. As soon as pin of the micro controller goes high,
the buzzer operates, it only occurs when the password is not matched and the buzzer will beep
for roughly around 8 secs.

13.3.2

Steps Involved:

1. Step 1:At first all connections are made, the programmer and the developmet board are
connected by means of the 1 ISP Cable,and a 12V DC supply is given to the development
board
2. Step 2:The USB V 2.0 programmer is then connected to the Laptop by means of a cable,after all connections are made then a GREEN LED will blink as shown in the figure
below.
3. Step 3:At last the HEX file created by means of AVR Stuio 5.0 is then downloaded, by
means of Prog ISP Burner Software, during the time of downloading the RED led will
glow as shown in the figure below

Conclusion
When we completed this project, we had learned and understood the process of constructing a
Digital Code lock which contained hardware and software development. We also came to knew
about the micro-controller ATmega 8 and how to implement it on our project.We succeeded
in determining the faults in our circuit and rectified it accordingly. Our digital code lock performed as expected. We were able to implement all the functions specified in our proposal. The
biggest hurdle we had to overcome with this project was interfacing the micro-controller with
the hardware components. We feel that this digital code lock is marketable because it is easy to
use, comparatively inexpensive due to low power consumption and highly reliable and useful in
application in any household appliance.

Future Aspects
There were many scope for improvement, but the three major modifications which stands out
tall are as follows :
Circuit modifications can be made to control heavy household appliances
Portability of the circuit can be increased, with the application of SMPS, battery, or any
secondary voltage source (Portable).
Now we are able to control both AC and DC components, but they can be used one at a
time, but certain circuit modification can be made so that simultaneously more than one
appliances can be controlled.
