Pulse Rate monitoring in PC (wireless)

This circuit is used to display the number of pulses occurred per minute on the PC desktop.we can use this to calculate frequency of the signal. 

Working: i will calculate the signal peaks every minute and i will send that information using wireless protocol(Gigbee/GSM). on the other end i will receive by the same wireless device and i will send the same data to RS232 port of a PC. You can monitor the data on Hyper-terminal.

     

                                                                                                             

You have to connect wireless device GSM/Gigbee on both sides. depending the device connected you have modify your code.                                                             

NOTE: i haven't indicated any wireless device. that will be connected to DB9 port.

Automatic car parking indicator using 8051

This system will indicate empty and filled car parking slots at the entry. Now a days Car parking at shopping malls and markets is becoming a big issue and is causing to traffic jam. To avoid this  problem we are designing this system to indicate empty slots and filled slots, so that a car driving person can directly take his car to that particular empty slot. we will indicate the slot state by LEDs and also in LCD screen. we will use IR sensors to sense the presence of car in the slot.

Working: when a car enter into a empty slot the photo detector output will become '1', this will change the state of the slot to filled, otherwise it is remained in empty state only. like wise all the slots are detected by IR sensors.

Here is the functional flow chart

case'2': when 1st and 2nd slots are filled

1st and 2nd LEDs are glowing and the same thing is displayed in LCD

NOTE:

pushbuttons are to be replaced by IR sensors and comparators

Coal mine detection robot

It is mandatory to check the coal mine weather conditions prior to workers entry. If the weather conditions are normal then workers can enter , otherwise they will not go inside the mine. To check the weather conditions all over the mine we will send one robot which will monitor CO (carbon monoxide) in the mine, temperature and light intensity in the mine. After reading each parameter it will compare with threshold readings and produces output depending the readings taken. This robot is also an obstacle avoidance robot, it uses IR sensors to control its movement in the mine.

Automatic Room light and fan control with visitor counting

This system will control the room light and fan by taking inputs as person count, room light intensity and room temperature.

Working:  When there is no person entered in to room then person count will become zero and then it will not check intensity and temperature, so that bulb and fan will be in OFF mode.  If a person enters into a room then the person count will be increased by '1' and if person exits a room then person count will decrease. If person count is greater than zero then it will check intensity and temperature. If the room intensity is less than the threshold then the bulb will glow otherwise will be in OFF mode only and if the room temperature exceeds the threshold temperature then the fan will start moving otherwise will be in OFF mode only.

Automatic Train Gate controlling / Metro Train Indication

This Embedded System is designed to control the  train junction Gates automatically when train passes across this junction. Here we arrange two IR sensors before the junction ( distance > 500mtrs from Gate junction) and also two IR sensors after the junction (distance  > 500mtrs from Gate junction). The IR sensors which are before the junction will indicate that the train is coming near to the junction and the IR sensors which are after the junction will indicate that the train has passed away the junction.

The pictorial arrangement of the system is shown here

                       

when train comes in between the 2 IR sensors the output of both the photodetectors will become logic - '1'. Then the system will send logic high to the Siren, Red light will glow , green light will turn off and the Gate will close. 

Here is the simple flow chart showing its operation

Password based Door locking system

This is a  8051 based security project, we can lock and unlock the door electronically. Electronic door locking systems are used in Bank lockers, home lockers, main doors and prison  etc.,

Working: When we give correct UserID and Password then only we can UNLOCK and LOCK the door otherwise we can't operate it. If we entered correct userID and password it will show authenticated message on LCD screen otherwise Invalid userID or Access Denide. Then you can select one of the option LOCK DOOR and UNLOCK DOOR.

But here we replaced it with one push button connected to the 555 timer(Monostable multivibrator), because we can't represent them here.

Change UserID and Password using 8051

Here is the one example showing how to change Predefined "UserID" and "Password" manually by user. If we want to change userID or password, it will take  inputs from the keypad two times for confirmation. If the two inputs are matched then one of them will be assigned to the predefined one , otherwise it will display "not matched" inputs and jumps to main menu. The following flow chart describes how it works

Automatic Room light Controller with OpAmp:

Automatic Room light Controller with OpAmp: 

It is more important to save power. here the one way to save the power by automatic controlling of room lights. This is also an application of OpAmp based comparator. This is based on the light intensity in the room, here we use LDR(light dependent resistor) who's resistance decreases with increase in room light intensity. There is a choice that you can change the threshold level to your desired level so that it can operate at that intensity level. It does not require any microcontroller or any other programmable devices.

components procured:

>LDR  

>OpAmp 741

>resistor 10k

>BC547 transistor

>SPDT relay 12V

>1N4001 diode 

>battery and a bulb

 here i connected the LDR output to the inverting terminal and a threshold voltage of 1.5v is connected to the non-inverting terminal. so that whenever the light intensity increases the LDR output will decrease and if it is less than the threshold the output of the opamp will be +Vsat=+5v.This will trun on the BC547 so that relay will be connected as shown here, bulb will not glow

                                           VLDR >1.5v ; transistor ON; Light OFF;

  to see the output                                             A book on OPAMP circuits

 when the room light intensity decreases LDR resistance will decrease and voltage across the resistor goes high. when it is greater than the threshold opamp output goes to -Vsat=-5v. then the BC547 will goes to the cutoff region (OFF state). so the light will glow.

                                  VLDR < 1.5v ; transistor OFF; light ON;

Automatic room fan controller using OpAmp:

This is the another application of a comparator. This can save the power and we don't need to switch ON and OFF the ceiling FAN manually. here we can set the threshold voltage to our desired value. The ceiling fan will be switched ON when the temperature increases the threshold value. We are using LM35 sensor to sense the room temperature. The sensitivity of this LM35 sensor is 10mv/ 'C. I want that fan to be switched on when the temperature increases more than 27'C. so set my threshold voltage to
                                 Vthreshold = 27'C x 10mv = 270mv = 0.27V

                      here the room temperature is 26'c so the output voltage is < 0.27V ; Fan off
  to see the output 

 when the temperature increases to 27'c or more, the output voltage of LM35 will increases to more than 0.27V. so that opamp output will goes to +Vsat=+5v. This will switch ON the transistor and so relay connects. This will switch ON the ceiling fan.

    here the temperature is 28'c so the output voltage >0.27v; fan ON      LM35 sensor
