Object Counting Using 7 Segment Display The project is designed to monitor the counting operations in industries. For example, products moving on a conveyor belt are counted by IR interruption concept and displayed on a seven segment display. There are two pair sensors, each kept at certain distance from the other. One pair of sensor consists of a transmitter and a receiver, kept exactly opposite to each other. The transmitting part emits modulated IR light which is received at the receiver end and fed to a microcontroller of 8051 family. When an object passes through the sensors then microcontroller gets interrupt signal (from IR sensors) and increments the count to displays it on 7 segments displays. Count down is also achieved if the object moves in reverse direction. This project…

Vehicle Movement Based Street Lights Project

Vehicle Movement Based Street Lights Project

8051 Microcontroller, Sensor
Vehicle Movement Based Street Lights Project The project aims at saving energy by detecting the vehicle movement on highways and switching on the block of street light ahead of it and simultaneously switching off the trailing lights. The project requires sensors to detect the vehicle movements and switches on the lights ahead of it. As soon as the vehicle moves ahead the trailing lights automatically switches off. This can be used to save a lot of energy instead of using conventional system where the street lights are remained ON. Another mode of operation can be used where the lights are remained ON with 10% intensity and when the vehicle passes by the lights ahead of it are switched on with 100% intensity and the trailing lights revert back to 10%…

Testing Life Cycle Of Electrical Loads Using Down Counter

Testing Life Cycle Of Electrical Loads Using Down Counter

8051 Microcontroller
Testing Life Cycle Of Electrical Loads Using Down Counter The system is a down counter arrangement using a microcontroller of 8051 family that is used to test the life of electrical products. In industries having products like lights/bulbs/motor etc, it is important to test the lifecycle of the product. This life cycle is tested as the number of times it is switches ON/OFF and still works. Our project activates a relay switch that is used to switch the load On and OFF for desired number of times. Our system uses a microcontroller of the 8051 family having a keypad interfaced to it. It also has a 7 segment display to display the count. On running the system, the user can enter the number of times(0 – 999) he wishes to…

Microcontroller Based 4 Quadrant DC Motor Speed Control

Microcontroller Based 4 Quadrant DC Motor Speed Control

8051 Microcontroller, Sensor
Microcontroller Based 4 Quadrant DC Motor Speed Control The project aims at developing a speed control system for DC motors in four quadrants i.e. clockwise, anti-clockwise, forward brake and reverse brake. The project is useful to be used in industries for moving motors in both directions i.e. clockwise and anti-clockwise and can even apply forward and reverse brakes whenever required. The brakes functions by applying a reverse voltage in the motor for certain time. The speed is controlled by generating PWM pulses from microcontroller of 8051 family. A pair of push buttons is interfaced to microcontroller which is interfaced to operation motor by motor driver IC. The signals from the button are input to the microcontroller that in turn actuates motors in controlling speed.

Street Light Automatic Intensity Controller

Street Light Automatic Intensity Controller

8051 Microcontroller, Sensor
Street Light Automatic Intensity Controller In present system, highways are usually lightened up by using HID (High Intensity Lamps) that consumes huge amount of energy and moreover its intensity cannot be varied as per need. Therefore the system “Street light automatic intensity controller” overcomes these limitations by making use of LED’s (Light Emitting Diodes) as light source and simultaneously its intensity can be varied and controlled according to requirements. A microcontroller of 8051 family is used for this purpose that contains programmable instructions to control the intensity by producing pulse width modulated signals which drives a MOSFET to switch LEDs to achieve required results. Thus the intensity increases during peak hours and gradually diminishes in late nights. At sharp 6am it completely goes off and resumes again at 6pm. This…

Traffic Controller Based On Density With RF Remote Override

Traffic Controller Based On Density With RF Remote Override

8051 Microcontroller, Sensor
Traffic Controller Based On Density With RF Remote Override The project aims to provide an effective solution for the traffic signal system to override the normal signal timings during emergency automatically. It happens when there is an emergency situation like ambulance, fire brigade stuck in traffic, they require priority to go first. Also the need arises when there arises high density at a particular direction. Hence the system uses an android application device remote control that overrides the signal timings by immediately giving green signal in the vehicle direction and red signal for all others. The project uses a microcontroller of 8051 family that is interfaced with the IR sensors and photodiodes aligned in line of sight configuration across the load for detecting the density. The density is measured in…

Induction Motor Speed Control Using TV Remote

Induction Motor Speed Control Using TV Remote

8051 Microcontroller, Sensor
Induction Motor Speed Control Using TV Remote This project aims at driving an induction motor in forward and backward direction wirelessly for specific applications. For instance, the project can be used to rotate an exhaust fan in both directions. Here a squril cage induction motor is used to describe the process in clockwise and anticlockwise direction. The direction is controlled using a TV remote. On pressing a button, the TV remote transmits an IR signal in RC5 code to IR receiver (TSOP-1738). The receiver receives the signal and sends an output to microcontroller of 8051 family. A relay driver IC is interfaced with microcontroller that switches in by-stable mode for split-phase induction motor to rotate in both directions.
