2. INTRODUCTION TO EMBEDDED SYSTEMS
What is Embedded system?
An Embedded System is a combination of computer hardware and software, and perhaps
additional mechanical or other parts, designed to perform a specific function. An embedded
system is a microcontroller-based, software driven, reliable, real-time control system,
autonomous, or human or network interactive, operating on diverse physical variables and in
diverse environments and sold into a competitive and cost conscious market.
An embedded system is not a computer system that is used primarily for processing, not a
software system on PC or UNIX, not a traditional business or scientific application. High-end
embedded & lower end embedded systems. High-end embedded system - Generally 32, 64 Bit
Controllers used with OS. Examples Personal Digital Assistant and Mobile phones etc .Lower
end embedded systems - Generally 8,16 Bit Controllers used with an minimal operating systems
and hardware layout designed for the specific purpose. Examples Small controllers and devices
in our everyday life like Washing Machine, Microwave Ovens, where they are embedded in.

Characteristics of Embedded System
• An embedded system is any computer system hidden inside a product other than a
computer.
• They will encounter a number of difficulties when writing embedded system software in
addition to those we encounter when we write applications
– Throughput – Our system may need to handle a lot of data in a short period of
time.
– Response–Our system may need to react to events quickly
– Testability–Setting up equipment to test embedded software can be difficult
– Debugability–Without a screen or a keyboard, finding out what the software is
doing wrong (other than not working) is a troublesome problem
– Reliability – embedded systems must be able to handle any situation without
human intervention
– Memory space – Memory is limited on embedded systems, and you must make
the software and the data fit into whatever memory exists
11
– Program installation – you will need special tools to get your software into
embedded systems
– Power consumption – Portable systems must run on battery power, and the
software in these systems must conserve power
– Processor hogs – computing that requires large amounts of CPU time can
complicate the response problem
– Cost – Reducing the cost of the hardware is a concern in many embedded system
projects; software often operates on hardware that is barely adequate for the job.
• Embedded systems have a microprocessor/ microcontroller and a memory. Some have a
serial port or a network connection. They usually do not have keyboards, screens or disk
drives.
APPLICATIONS
1) Military and aerospace embedded software applications
2) Communication Applications
3) Industrial automation and process control software
4) Mastering the complexity of applications.
5) Reduction of product design time.
6) Real time processing of ever increasing amounts of data.
7) Intelligent, autonomous sensors.
CLASSIFICATION
 Real Time Systems.
 RTS is one which has to respond to events within a specified deadline.
 A right answer after the dead line is a wrong answer.
RTS CLASSIFICATION
 Hard Real Time Systems
 Soft Real Time System
12
HARD REAL TIME SYSTEM
 "Hard" real-time systems have very narrow response time.
 Example: Nuclear power system, Cardiac pacemaker.
SOFT REAL TIME SYSTEM
 "Soft" real-time systems have reduced constrains on "lateness" but still must operate very
quickly and repeatable.
 Example: Railway reservation system – takes a few extra seconds the data remains valid.

4.1 TRANSFORMER
Transformers convert AC electricity from one voltage to another with a little loss of power.
Step-up transformers increase voltage, step-down transformers reduce voltage. Most power
supplies use a step-down transformer to reduce the dangerously high voltage to a safer low
voltage.
FIG 4.1: A TYPICAL TRANSFORMER
The input coil is called the primary and the output coil is called the secondary. There is
no electrical connection between the two coils; instead they are linked by an alternating magnetic
field created in the soft-iron core of the transformer. The two lines in the middle of the circuit
symbol represent the core. Transformers waste very little power so the power out is (almost)
equal to the power in. Note that as voltage is stepped down and current is stepped up.
The ratio of the number of turns on each coil, called the turn’s ratio, determines the ratio
of the voltages. A step-down transformer has a large number of turns on its primary (input) coil
which is connected to the high voltage mains supply, and a small number of turns on its
secondary (output) coil to give a low output voltage.
TURNS RATIO = (Vp / Vs) = ( Np / Ns )
Where,
Vp = primary (input) voltage.
Vs = secondary (output) voltage
Np = number of turns on primary coil
Ns = number of turns on secondary coil
Ip = primary (input) current
Is = secondary (output) current.
15
Ideal power equation
The ideal transformer as a circuit element.
If the secondary coil is attached to a load that allows current to flow, electrical power is
transmitted from the primary circuit to the secondary circuit. Ideally, the transformer is perfectly
efficient; all the incoming energy is transformed from the primary circuit to the magnetic field
and into the secondary circuit. If this condition is met, the incoming electric power must equal
the outgoing power:
Giving the ideal transformer equation
Transformers normally have high efficiency, so this formula is a reasonable approximation.
If the voltage is increased, then the current is decreased by the same factor. The
impedance in one circuit is transformed by the square of the turns ratio.
16
For example, if an impedance Zs is attached across the terminals of the secondary coil, it
appears to the primary circuit to have an impedance of (Np/Ns)2Zs. This relationship is reciprocal,
so that the impedance Zp of the primary circuit appears to the secondary to be (Ns/Np)2Zp.
4.2 VOLTAGE REGULATOR 7805
Features
• Output Current up to 1A.
• Output Voltages of 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 24V.

Description
The LM78XX/LM78XXA series of three-terminal positive regulators are available in the
TO-220/D-PAK package and with several fixed output voltages, making them useful in a Wide
range of applications. Each type employs internal current limiting, thermal shutdown and safe
operating area protection, making it essentially indestructible. If adequate heat sinking is
provided, they can deliver over 1A output Current. Although designed primarily as fixed voltage
regulators, these devices can be used with external components to obtain adjustable voltages and
currents.

4.3 RECTIFIER
A rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating current (AC), which
periodically reverses direction, to direct current (DC), current that flows in only one direction, a
process known as rectification. Rectifiers have many uses including as components of power
supplies and as detectors of radio signals. Rectifiers may be made of solid state diodes, vacuum
tube diodes, mercury arc valves, and other components. The output from the transformer is fed to
the rectifier. It converts A.C. into pulsating D.C. The rectifier may be a half wave or a full wave
rectifier. In this project, a bridge rectifier is used because of its merits like good stability and full
wave rectification. In positive half cycle only two diodes( 1 set of parallel diodes) will conduct,
in negative half cycle remaining two diodes will conduct and they will conduct only in forward
bias only.
4.4 FILTER
Capacitive filter is used in this project. It removes the ripples from the output of rectifier
and smoothens the D.C. Output received from this filter is constant until the mains voltage and
load is maintained constant. However, if either of the two is varied, D.C. voltage received at this
point changes. Therefore a regulator is applied at the output stage.
19
The simple capacitor filter is the most basic type of power supply filter. The use of this
filter is very limited. It is sometimes used on extremely high-voltage, low-current power supplies
for cathode-ray and similar electron tubes that require very little load current from the supply.
This filter is also used in circuits where the power-supply ripple frequency is not critical and can
be relatively high. Below figure can show how the capacitor changes and discharges.

Introduction
A microcontroller often serves as the “brain” of a mechatronic system. Like a mini, self
contained computer, it can be programmed to interact with both the hardware of the system and
the user. Even the most basic microcontroller can perform simple math operations, control digital
outputs, and monitor digital inputs. As the computer industry has evolved, so has the technology
associated with microcontrollers. Newer microcontrollers are much faster, have more memory,
and have a host of input and output features that dwarf the ability of earlier models. Most modern
controllers have analog-to-digital converters, high-speed timers and counters, interrupt
capabilities, outputs that can be pulse-width modulated, serial communication ports, etc.
23
The high-performance, low-power Atmel 8-bit AVR RISC-based microcontroller combines
16KB of programmable flash memory, 1KB SRAM, 512B EEPROM, an 8-channel 10-bit A/D
converter, and a JTAG interface for on-chip debugging. The device supports throughput of 16
MIPS at 16 MHz and operates between 4.5-5.5 volts.
By executing instructions in a single clock cycle, the device achieves throughputs
approaching 1 MIPS per MHz, balancing power consumption and processing speed.

I/O Ports
All AVR ports have true Read-Modify-Write functionality when used as general digital
I/O ports. This means that the direction of one port pin can be changed without unintentionally
changing the direction of any other pin with the SBI and CBI instructions. The same applies
when changing drive value (if configured as output) or enabling/disabling of pull-up resistors (if
configured as input). Each output buffer has symmetrical drive characteristics with both high
sink and source capability. The pin driver is strong enough to drive LED displays directly. All
port pins have individually selectable pull-up resistors with a supply-voltage invariant resistance.
All I/O pins have protection diodes to both VCC and Ground as indicated in.
Analog To Digital Converter
The ATmega16 features a 10-bit successive approximation ADC. The ADC is connected to an 8-
channel Analog Multiplexer which allows 8 single-ended voltage inputs constructed from the
pins of Port A. The single-ended voltage inputs refer to 0V (GND). The device also supports 16
differential voltage input combinations.
31
Two of the differential inputs (ADC1, ADC0 and ADC3, ADC2) are equipped with a
programmable gain stage, providing amplification steps of 0 dB (1x), 20 dB (10x), or 46 dB
(200x) on the differential input voltage before the A/D conversion. Seven differential analog
input channels share a common negative terminal (ADC1), while any other ADC input can be
selected as the positive input terminal. If 1x or 10x gain is used, 8-bit resolution can be expected.
If 200x gain is used, 7-bit resolution can be expected. The ADC contains a Sample and Hold
circuit which ensures that the input voltage to the
ADC is held at a constant level during conversion. A block diagram of the ADC is shown
in Figure 98. The ADC has a separate analog supply voltage pin, AVCC. AVCC must not differ
more than ±0.3 V from VCC. See the paragraph “ADC Noise Canceler” on page 213 on how to
connect this pin. Internal reference voltages of nominally 2.56V or AVCC are provided On-chip.
The voltage reference may be externally decoupled at the AREF pin by a capacitor for better
noise performance.
The ADC converts an analog input voltage to a 10-bit digital value through successive
approximation. The minimum value represents GND and the maximum value represents the
voltage on the AREF pin minus 1 LSB. Optionally, AVCC or an internal 2.56V reference
voltage may be connected to the AREF pin by writing to the REFSn bits in the ADMUX
Register. The internal voltage reference may thus be decoupled by an external capacitor at the
AREF pin to improve noise immunity. The analog input channel and differential gain are
selected by writing to the MUX bits in ADMUX. Any of the ADC input pins, as well as GND
and a fixed bandgap voltage reference, can be selected as single ended inputs to the ADC. A
selection of ADC input pins can be selected as positive and negative inputs to the differential
gain amplifier. If differential channels are selected, the differential gain stage amplifies the
voltage difference between the selected input channel pair by the selected gain factor. This
amplified value then becomes the analog input to the ADC. If single ended channels are used, the
gain amplifier is bypassed altogether.
The ADC is enabled by setting the ADC Enable bit, ADEN in ADCSRA. Voltage
reference and input channel selections will not go into effect until ADEN is set. The ADC does
not consume power when ADEN is cleared, so it is recommended to switch off the ADC before
entering power saving sleep modes.
32
The ADC generates a 10-bit result which is presented in the ADC Data Registers, ADCH
and ADCL. By default, the result is presented right adjusted, but can optionally be presented left
adjusted by setting the ADLAR bit in ADMUX. If the result is left adjusted and no more than 8-
bit precision is required, it is sufficient to read ADCH. Otherwise, ADCL must be read first, then
ADCH, to ensure that the content of the Data Registers belongs to the same conversion. Once
ADCL is read, ADC access to Data Registers is blocked. This means that if ADCL has been
read, and a conversion completes before ADCH is read, neither register is updated and the result
from the conversion is lost. When ADCH is read, ADC access to the ADCH and ADCL
Registers is re-enabled. The ADC has its own interrupt which can be triggered when a
conversion completes. When ADC access to the Data Registers is prohibited between reading of
ADCH and ADCL, the interrupt will trigger even if the result is lost.
XTAL1:
Input to the inverting oscillator amplifier and input to the internal clock operating circuit.
XTAL2:
Output from the inverting oscillator amplifier.
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 1. 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 6.2. 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.
33
FIG 4.5(b): Oscillator Connections
FIG 4.5(d): External Clock Drive Configuration
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.
34
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-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.
GSM MODEM
GSM/GPRS module is used to establish communication between a computer and a
GSM-GPRS system. Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) is an architecture
used for mobile communication in most of the countries. Global Packet Radio Service (GPRS)
is an extension of GSM that enables higher data transmission rate. GSM/GPRS module consists
of a GSM/GPRS modem assembled together with power supply circuit and communication
interfaces (like RS-232, USB, etc) for computer. The MODEM is the soul of such modules.
35
Wireless MODEMs
Wireless MODEMs are the MODEM devices that generate, transmit or decode data from
a cellular network, for establishing communication between the cellular network and the
computer. These are manufactured for specific cellular network (GSM/UMTS/CDMA) or
specific cellular data standard (GSM/UMTS/GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA) or technology (GPS/SIM).
Wireless MODEMs like other MODEM devices use serial communication to interface with and
need Hayes compatible AT commands for communication with the computer (any
microprocessor or microcontroller system).
GSM/GPRS MODEM
GSM/GPRS MODEM is a class of wireless MODEM devices that are designed for
communication of a computer with the GSM and GPRS network. It requires a SIM (Subscriber
Identity Module) card just like mobile phones to activate communication with the network. Also
they have IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number similar to mobile phones for
their identification. A GSM/GPRS MODEM can perform the following operations:
1. Receive, send or delete SMS messages in a SIM.
2. Read, add, search phonebook entries of the SIM.
3. Make, Receive, or reject a voice call.
36
The MODEM needs AT commands, for interacting with processor or controller, which
are communicated through serial communication. These commands are sent by the
controller/processor. The MODEM sends back a result after it receives a command. Different AT
commands supported by the MODEM can be sent by the processor/controller/computer to
interact with the GSM and GPRS cellular network.
GSM/GPRS Module
A GSM/GPRS module assembles a GSM/GPRS modem with standard communication
interfaces like RS-232 (Serial Port), USB etc., so that it can be easily interfaced with a computer
or a microprocessor / microcontroller based system. The power supply circuit is also built in the
module that can be activated by using a suitable adaptor.
AT Commands
AT commands are used to control MODEMs. AT is the abbreviation for Attention. These
commands come from Hayes commands that were used by the Hayes smart modems. The Hayes
commands started with AT to indicate the attention from the MODEM. The dial up and wireless
MODEMs (devices that involve machine to machine communication) need AT commands to
interact with a computer. These include the Hayes command set as a subset, along with other
extended AT commands.
AT commands with a GSM/GPRS MODEM or mobile phone can be used to access following
information and services:
1.Information and configuration pertaining to mobile device or MODEM and SIM card.
2.SMS services.
3.MMS services.
4.Fax services.
5.Data and Voice link over mobile network.
The Hayes subset commands are called the basic commands and the commands specific to a
GSM network are called extended AT commands.
37
Command, Information response and Result Codes:
The AT commands are sent by the computer to the MODEM/ mobile phone. The MODEM sends
back an Information Response i.e. the information requested by or pertaining to the action
initiated by the AT command. This is followed by a Result Code. The result code tells about the
successful execution of that command.
There are also unsolicited Result Codes that are returned automatically by the MODEM to notify
the occurrence of an event. For example the reception of a SMS will force MODEM to return an
unsolicited result code.
38
AT commands' syntax
Case Sensitivity -
The AT commands are generally used in uppercase letters. However some MODEMs and
mobile phones allow both uppercase and small case letters.
Single Command -
The AT commands include a prefix AT which indicates the beginning of the command to
MODEM; and a carriage return which indicates the end of the command.
Using a Single AT Command
However string ‘AT’ itself is not the part of the command. For example in ATD, D is the
command name not ATD.
The extended AT commands have a ‘+’ in the command name.
For example: AT+CGMI<Carriage return>
Command Line -
Multiple AT commands can be sent to MODEM in a single command line. The commands in a
line are separated by a semi-colon (;).
39
For example: AT+CGMI; +CBS<Carriage return>
String in Command Line -
Strings in a command line are enclosed in double quotes.
For example: AT+CGML=”ALL”<Carriage return>
Information Response and Result Code –
The Information Response and Result Codes, returned by the MODEM, have a carriage
return and line feed in the beginning as well as at the end.
Information Response and Result Code
For example:
<Carriage return><Line feed>OK<Carriage return><Line feed>
<Carriage return><Line feed>ERROR<Carriage return><Line feed>
<Carriage return><Line feed>+CBC: 0, 60<Carriage return><Line feed> etc.
40
Sequence of Execution –
In the command line, the command appearing first is executed first. The execution then
follows for second appeared command and so on. The execution of commands in a command
line takes place in sequential manner.
If an error occurs in the execution of a command, an error result code is returned by the
MODEM and the execution of the command line is terminated irrespective of presence of other
commands next in the command line.
Types of commands:
There are four types of AT commands:
1) Test commands
2) Read commands
3) Set commands
4) Execution commands
Different Result Codes
RESULT CODE DESCRIPTION
OK Successful Execution of a command
ERROR Execution of a command failed
+CMS ERROR Message service failure, is returned with an error code
Unsolicited Result Codes
+CDS Notify receipt of SMS status report of a new message to computer
+CDSI Notify receipt of SMS status report of a new message and its location
in memory to computer
+CMT Notify forwarding of a new SMS to computer
+CMTI Notify receipt of SMS status report of a new message and its location
in memory to computer

Overview
To connectmost GSM modulestomicrocontrollers aserial connectionisutilized, the problem with this
can be if you are using a microcontroller that running at a higher voltage than the GSM module the
serial logic levels will be off.
Every module has specifications for its serial port and they have to be followed in order
to have a working communications system (the below specifications are from a GE863 Telit
model):
42
Each input and output is described with a Min and Max level, what this means is between
the two specifications is where the input state will trigger or the output voltage will range
between. So as you can see the GSM will read a logic low between 0-.5V and will output a logic
high between 2.2-3V. So our microcontroller needs to have these same voltage levels to talk with
the GSM.
Logic levels are very important and can determine the quality of serial communication
you have to take into account the HIGH logic level as well as the low logic level to get a good
connection. The GSM modules usually have a Logic Level of 2.8v CMOS compatible, because
they are designed to run off a single cell Lithium battery. So if you are running your
microcontroller at another voltage than ~3V you will need to change the logic levels. Below are a
few ways you can hook up your boards to a GSM.
How to connect
Interfacing MODEM/Mobile phone with Windows platform
The Windows (XP and lower versions) comes with an application called HyperTerminal
for data communication through serial port of the computer. The interfacing of the GSM/GPRS
module with the serial port of the computer involves following steps:
1) Connect RS-232 port of GSM module with the serial port of the computer. Insert a SIM card in
the module.
2) Open HyperTerminal from Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Communications ->
HyperTerminal.
3) Enter a name for the connection and press OK.
4) Now select the communication port (COM) at which GSM module is connected.
5) Create a new connection set on HyperTerminal. Set parameters, like baud rate as 9600,
handshaking mode as none, parity bit as none, stop bit as 1 and data bit as 8.
The below examples show you how to connect microcontrollers running at different
voltages to a GSM module (or any serial device)
43
~3V devices
If the microcontroller you are using is running at 2.8-~3.3V, you can probably get away without
using a level conversion circuit, just check to see that the range of your microcontroller matches
with the GSMs,
ATMEGA644P LEVELS
44
GE863 LEVELS
As you can see if you run the ATMEGA644P at 3.0V:
On the Microcontroller:
*The input Low level (VIL) is rated -> -.5 to .3(Vcc)
and the
*The input High level (VIH) is rated -> .6(VCC) to (.5 + VCC)
so if VCC = 3V
*we get -.5 - .9V for the range of the Low voltage Input.
and
*we get 1.8V - 3.5V for the Input High range.
On the Telit:
*The Output Low level (VOL) is 0 - 3.5V
and
*The Output High level (VOH) is 2.2 - 3.0V
We then compare the Microcontrollers input to the Telits output levels,
Microcontroller TELIT
-.5 - .9 (VIL) -> (VOH) is 0 - 3.5V
1.8V - 3.5V (VIH) -> (VOL) is 2.2 - 3.0V
Then do the same thing for the output of the microcontroller to the input of the Telit.
And find that they will trigger just fine.
So to hook the device up in this case you would just connect the RX and TX together and make
sure they share a common ground.
45
>3.3V or<2.8V devices
These devices need a Logic conversion circuit in order to operate. The voltages on the
microcontroller need to be shifted up or down accordingly to match the telits range and visa
versa. This can be done in a couple ways:
LogicLevel conversion
There are many ways you can do logic conversion most involve using a comparator of some sort
but you can also use transistor arrays or a zener diode to accomplish the feat.
As you can see there is a Arduino mega(blue running @ 5V) and a GSM(red running @
3.6V) the third board is the logic conversion board(yellow). The circuit is made up of a LM311N
comparator chip and a zener diode with a couple resistors thrown in the mix.
46
Comparator
The comparator works by comparing two voltages on two inputs and biasing the output high or
low according to which input is higher. So the way it is used in this circuit is to rise up the
voltage of the GSM output (Telit RXD normal TX) to the input level of the Arduino mega. The
way we accomplish this is to use a voltage divider on one of the inputs which floats the voltage
near the max voltage the LOW logic level will output from the GSM. This level is compared to
the output of the GSM serial line (Telit RXD normal TX), if the voltage on that line is LOWER
than the voltage on the voltage divider the output will be pulled Low (to GND) and the
microcontroller will read a LOW logic level. If the voltage out (Telit RXD normal TX) is larger
than the dividers level the output is released and the 10K pull up resistor brings the output high,
registering a HIGH on the microcontroller.
47
To figure out what voltage level the voltage divider needs to be at and what resistors to use, we
employ the ever-ready ohms law (Voltage = current*resistance or V=I*R):
48
So once again we check the Telits documentation to find the LOW LEVEL threshold:
and see it is .35V this is a good place to set your threshold, but since I only had a certain set of
resistors with me that day I set it at about half that and it works just fine. This is to show that as
long as you know what you are shooting for in a pinch there is some wiggle room (and that
everyone runs out of parts).
So to figure out how to get a .35 voltage out of the divider and into pin 3 on the comparator we
need to figure out the voltage drop:
So we take 5v and need a drop of 4.65 volts to hit the .35V mark.
To find this we use ohms law and take the total resistance value 480K ohms and divide the
original voltage by 480k ohms to get the current (I)
5/480K = .0000104166 amps (I)
Then we can find the voltage drop by saying (I)*(top resistance = 470k)
(.0000104166 amps)(470k) = 4.8958020000 V
and so 5V - 4.8958020000V = .1041980000 V
which is < half of the specked .35 but in a pinch it works ok, The one thing you don't want to do
is just tie the line to ground, in my experience outputs never reliably hit a clean GND and your
communications will probably not work.
49
zener
The zener diode is the other half of this circuit and cuts down the 5V output from the
microcontroller to the 2.8 volt level the GSM needs. You can see the circuit is trivial all you need
is a resistor and a zener diode to make it work. The drawbacks of the circuit are at higher baud
rates it cad start having inductance problems that mimick RC circuits which will throw off your
communications.
You can see the circuit in the bottom part of the drawing, what a zener diode does is allow
current to flow to ground once a certain threshold is reached and therefore “clamping” the
voltage at that set level. You need to put a resistor in series with the zener from preventing a
large in-rush of current from destroying the zener.
PRE-BUILT boards/systems
There are also boards that have the microcontroller and the GSM built into one package for you
so you just have to turn it on or solder up a couple connections.
50
The circuit we used on this board utilizes the TC7W125 duel bus buffer with a pull up resistor as
shown here:
51
The second board is a small board with a built in logic level circuit on board. With this device
you can just make four connections to a microcontroller running 1.8-12v and you are ready to go.
Connections:
The connections you need to make are,
microcontroller GSM(Telit board)
RX -> RXD
TX -> TXD
VCC -> microVcc
GND -> GND
52
GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) is a digital mobile telephone system that is
widely used in Europe and other parts of the world. GSM uses a variation of Time Division
Multiple Access (TDMA) and is the most widely used of the three digital wireless telephone
technologies (TDMA, GSM, and CDMA). GSM digitizes and compresses data, then sends it
down a channel with two other streams of user data, each in its own time slot. It operates at
either the 900 MHz or 1,800 MHz frequency band.
GSM characteristics
Multiple Access Method TDMA/FDM
Duplex Method FDD
Number of Channels 124 (8 users per channel)
Channel Spacing 200kHz
Modulation GMSK (0.3 Gaussian Filter)
Channel Bit Rate 270.833Kb

GPS SYSTEM
• GPS modem is a device which receives signals from satellite and provides information
about latitude, longitude, altitude, time etc.
• The GPS modem has an antenna which receives the satellite signals and transfers them to
the modem. The modem in turn converts the data into useful information and sends the
output in serial RS232 logic level format longitude, altitude, time etc.
• The information about latitude, longitude etc is sent continuously and accompanied by an
identifier string.
PIEZO SENSOR
• Piezoelectric sensors have proven to be versatile tools for the measurement of various
processes.
• The sensors are either directly mounted into additional holes into the cylinder head or the
spark/glow plug is equipped with a built in miniature piezoelectric sensor.
• Unlike strain gages that can measure static forces, piezoelectric force sensors are mostly
used for dynamic- force measurements such as oscillation, impact, or highspeed
compression or tension.
55
• When a force is applied to the impact cap, the quartz elements generate an output voltage
which can be routed directly to a charge amplifier or converted to a low-impedance signal
within the sensor.
The use of the direct sensor output demands that any connector, cable, and charge
amplifier input must maintain a high insulation resistance on the order of >10≠″ Ω.
4.7 RELAY
A relay is an electrically operated switch. Many relays use an electromagnet to operate a
switching mechanism mechanically, but other operating principles are also used. Relays are used
where it is necessary to control a circuit by a low-power signal (with complete electrical isolation
between control and controlled circuits), or where several circuits must be controlled by one
signal.
56
A relay is an electrically operated switch. Current flowing through the coil of the relay
creates a magnetic field which attracts a lever and changes the switch contacts. The coil current
can be on or off so relays have two switch positions and most have double throw (changeover)
switch contacts as shown in the diagram.
Fig 4.8 Relay showing coil and switch contacts
Relays allow one circuit to switch a second circuit which can be completely separate
from the first. For example a low voltage battery circuit can use a relay to switch a 230V AC
mains circuit. There is no electrical connection inside the relay between the two circuits; the link
is magnetic and mechanical.
The coil of a relay passes a relatively large current, typically 30mA for a 12V relay, but it
can be as much as 100mA for relays designed to operate from lower voltages. Most ICs (chips)
cannot provide this current and a transistor is usually used to amplify the small IC current to the
larger value required for the relay coil. The maximum output current for the popular 555 timer
IC is 200mA so these devices can supply relay coils directly without amplification.
Relays are usually SPDT or DPDT but they can have many more sets of switch contacts,
for example relays with 4 sets of changeover contacts are readily available. For further
information about switch contacts and the terms used to describe them please see the page on
switches.
57
Most relays are designed for PCB mounting but you can solder wires directly to the pins
providing you take care to avoid melting the plastic case of the relay.
The supplier's catalogue should show you the relay's connections. The coil will be
obvious and it may be connected either way round. Relay coils produce brief high voltage
'spikes' when they are switched off and this can destroy transistors and ICs in the circuit. To
prevent damage you must connect a protection diode across the relay coil.
The figure shows a relay with its coil and switch contacts. You can see a lever on the left
being attracted by magnetism when the coil is switched on. This lever moves the switch contacts.
There is one set of contacts (SPDT) in the foreground and another behind them, making
the relay DPDT.
The relay's switch connections are usually labelled COM, NC and NO:
 COM = Common, always connect to this; it is the moving part of the switch.
 NC = Normally Closed, COM is connected to this when the relay coil is off.
 NO = Normally Open, COM is connected to this when the relay coil is on.
58
Applications of relays
Relays are used to and for:
 Control a high-voltage circuit with a low-voltage signal, as in some types of modems or
audio amplifiers.
 Control a high-current circuit with a low-current signal, as in the starter solenoid of an
automobile.
 Detect and isolate faults on transmission and distribution lines by opening and closing
circuit breakers.
 Time delay functions. Relays can be modified to delay opening or delay closing a set of
contacts. A very short (a fraction of a second) delay would use a copper disk between the
armature and moving blade assembly. Current flowing in the disk maintains magnetic
field for a short time, lengthening release time. For a slightly longer (up to a minute)
delay, a dashpot is used. A dashpot is a piston filled with fluid that is allowed to escape
slowly. The time period can be varied by increasing or decreasing the flow rate. For longer
time periods, a mechanical clockwork timer is installed.

59
DESCRIPTION:
L293D is a dual H-bridge motor driver integrated circuit (IC). Motor drivers act as
current amplifiers since they take a low-current control signal and provide a higher-current
signal. This higher current signal is used to drive the motors.
L293D contains two inbuilt H-bridge driver circuits. In its common mode of operation,
two DC motors can be driven simultaneously, both in forward and reverse direction. The motor
operations of two motors can be controlled by input logic at pins 2 & 7 and 10 & 15. Input logic
00 or 11 will stop the corresponding motor. Logic 01 and 10 will rotate it in clockwise and
anticlockwise directions, respectively.
Enable pins 1 and 9 (corresponding to the two motors) must be high for motors to start
operating. When an enable input is high, the associated driver gets enabled. As a result, the
outputs become active and work in phase with their inputs. Similarly, when the enable input is
low, that driver is disabled, and their outputs are off and in the high-impedance state.

Diodes are used to convert AC into DC these are used as half wave rectifier or full wave
rectifier. Three points must he kept in mind while using any type of diode.
1.Maximum forward current capacity
2.Maximum reverse voltage capacity
3.Maximum forward voltage capacity
Fig: 1N4007 diodes
The number and voltage capacity of some of the important diodes available in the market
are as follows:
 Diodes of number IN4001, IN4002, IN4003, IN4004, IN4005, IN4006 and IN4007 have
maximum reverse bias voltage capacity of 50V and maximum forward current capacity of 1
Amp.
 Diode of same capacities can be used in place of one another. Besides this diode of more
capacity can be used in place of diode of low capacity but diode of low capacity cannot be used
in place of diode of high capacity. For example, in place of IN4002; IN4001 or IN4007 can be
used but IN4001 or IN4002 cannot be used in place of IN4007.The diode BY125made by
company BEL is equivalent of diode from IN4001 to IN4003. BY 126 is equivalent to diodes
IN4004 to 4006 and BY 127 is equivalent to diode IN4007.

Fig:PN Junction diode
PN JUNCTION OPERATION
Now that you are familiar with P- and N-type materials, how these materials are joined
together to form a diode, and the function of the diode, let us continue our discussion with the
operation of the PN junction. But before we can understand how the PN junction works, we must
first consider current flow in the materials that make up the junction and what happens initially
within the junction when these two materials are joined together.
Current Flow in the N-Type Material
Conduction in the N-type semiconductor, or crystal, is similar to conduction in a copper
wire. That is, with voltage applied across the material, electrons will move through the crystal
just as current would flow in a copper wire. This is shown in figure 1-15. The positive potential
of the battery will attract the free electrons in the crystal. These electrons will leave the crystal
and flow into the positive terminal of the battery. As an electron leaves the crystal, an electron
from the negative terminal of the battery will enter the crystal, thus completing the current path.
Therefore, the majority current carriers in the N-type material (electrons) are repelled by the negative
side of the battery and move through the crystal toward the positive side of the battery.
62
Current Flow in the P-Type Material
Current flow through the P-type material is illustrated. Conduction in the P material is by
positive holes, instead of negative electrons. A hole moves from the positive terminal of the P
material to the negative terminal. Electrons from the external circuit enter the negative terminal
of the material and fill holes in the vicinity of this terminal. At the positive terminal, electrons
are removed from the covalent bonds, thus creating new holes. This process continues as the
steady stream of holes (hole current) moves toward the negative terminal
DC motor
A DC motor is a mechanically commutated electric motor powered from direct current
(DC). The stator is stationary in space by definition and therefore its current. The current in the
rotor is switched by the commutator to also be stationary in space. This is how the relative angle
between the stator and rotor magnetic flux is maintained near 90 degrees, which generates the
maximum torque.
DC motors have a rotating armature winding (winding in which a voltage is induced) but
non-rotating armature magnetic field and a static field winding (winding that produce the main
magnetic flux) or permanent magnet. Different connections of the field and armature winding
provide different inherent speed/torque regulation characteristics. The speed of a DC motor can
be controlled by changing the voltage applied to the armature or by changing the field current.
The introduction of variable resistance in the armature circuit or field circuit allowed speed
control. Modern DC motors are often controlled by power electronics systems called DC drives.
The introduction of DC motors to run machinery eliminated the need for local steam or
internal combustion engines, and line shaft drive systems. DC motors can operate directly from
rechargeable batteries, providing the motive power for the first electric vehicles. Today DC
motors are still found in applications as small as toys and disk drives, or in large sizes to operate
steel rolling mills and paper machines.
63
Brush
The brushed DC electric motor generates torque directly from DC power supplied to the
motor by using internal commutation, stationary magnets (permanent or electromagnets), and
rotating electrical magnets.
Like all electric motors or generators, torque is produced by the principle of Lorentz
force, which states that any current-carrying conductor placed within an external magnetic field
experiences a torque or force known as Lorentz force. Advantages of a brushed DC motor
include low initial cost, high reliability, and simple control of motor speed. Disadvantages are
high maintenance and low life-span for high intensity uses. Maintenance involves regularly
replacing the brushes and springs which carry the electric current, as well as cleaning or
replacing the commutator. These components are necessary for transferring electrical power
from outside the motor to the spinning wire windings of the rotor inside the motor.Brushes are
made of conductors.
Brushless
Typical brushless DC motors use a rotating permanent magnet in the rotor, and stationary
electrical current/coil magnets on the motor housing for the rotor, but the symmetrical opposite is also
possible. A motor controller converts DC to AC.
64
This design is simpler than that of brushed motors because it eliminates the complication of
transferring power from outside the motor to the spinning rotor. Advantages of brushless motors include
long life span, little or no maintenance, and high efficiency. Disadvantages include high initial cost, and
more complicated motor speed controllers. Some such brushless motors are sometimes referred to as
"synchronous motors" although they have no external power supply to be synchronized with, as would be
the case with normal AC synchronous motors.
Connection types
Series connection
A series DC motor connects the armature and field windings in series with a common D.C. power
source. The motor speed varies as a non-linear function of load torque and armature current; current is
common to both the stator and rotor yielding (current) squared behavior. A series motor has very high
starting torque and is commonly used for starting high inertia loads, such as trains, elevators or hoists.
This speed/torque characteristic is useful in applications such as dragline excavators, where the digging
tool moves rapidly when unloaded but slowly when carrying a heavy load.
Shunt connection
A shunt DC motor connects the armature and field windings in parallel or shunt with a
common D.C. power source. This type of motor has good speed regulation even as the load
varies, but does not have the starting torque of a series DC motor.It is typically used for
industrial, adjustable speed applications, such as machine tools, winding/unwinding machines
and tensioners.
65
Compound connection
A compound DC motor connects the armature and fields windings in a shunt and a series
combination to give it characteristics of both a shunt and a series DC motor.This motor is used
when both a high starting torque and good speed regulation is needed. The motor can be
connected in two arrangements: cumulatively or differentially. Cumulative compound motors
connect the series field to aid the shunt field, which provides higher starting torque but less speed
regulation. Differential compound DC motors have good speed regulation and are typically
operated at constant speed.
4.10 LED
A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor light source. LEDs are used as indicator
lamps in many devices, and are increasingly used for lighting. When a light-emitting diode is
forward biased (switched on), electrons are able to recombine with holes within the device,
releasing energy in the form of photons. This effect is called electroluminescence and the color
of the light (corresponding to the energy of the photon) is determined by the energy gap of the
semiconductor. An LED is often small in area (less than 1 mm2), and integrated optical
components may be used to shape its radiation pattern. LEDs present many advantages over
incandescent light sources including lower energy consumption, longer lifetime, improved
robustness, smaller size, faster switching, and greater durability and reliability.
Types of LED’S
66
Light-emitting diodes are used in applications as diverse as replacements for aviation
lighting, automotive lighting as well as in traffic signals. The compact size, the possibility of
narrow bandwidth, switching speed, and extreme reliability of LEDs has allowed new text and
video displays and sensors to be developed, while their high switching rates are also useful in
advanced communications technology.
Electronic Symbol:
4.11 RESISTORS
A resistor is a two-terminal electronic component designed to oppose an electric
current by producing a voltage drop between its terminals in proportion to the current, that is, in
accordance with Ohm's law:
V = IR
Resistors are used as part of electrical networks and electronic circuits. They are
extremely commonplace in most electronic equipment. Practical resistors can be made of various
compounds and films, as well as resistance wire (wire made of a high-resistivity alloy, such as
nickel/chrome).
The primary characteristics of resistors are their resistance and the power they can
dissipate. Other characteristics include temperature coefficient, noise, and inductance. Less well-
known is critical resistance, the value below which power dissipation limits the maximum
permitted current flow, and above which the limit is applied voltage. Critical resistance depends
upon the materials constituting the resistor as well as its physical dimensions; it's determined by
design.
Resistors can be integrated into hybrid and printed circuits, as well as integrated
circuits. Size, and position of leads (or terminals) are relevant to equipment designers; resistors
must be physically large enough not to overheat when dissipating their power.
67
A resistor is a two-terminal passive electronic component which implements electrical
resistance as a circuit element. When a voltage V is applied across the terminals of a resistor, a
current I will flow through the resistor in direct proportion to that voltage. The reciprocal of the
constant of proportionality is known as the resistance R, since, with a given voltage V, a larger
value of R further "resists" the flow of current I as given by Ohm's law:
Resistors are common elements of electrical networks and electronic circuits and are
ubiquitous in most electronic equipment. Practical resistors can be made of various compounds
and films, as well as resistance wire (wire made of a high-resistivity alloy, such as nickel-
chrome). Resistors are also implemented within integrated circuits, particularly analog devices,
and can also be integrated into hybrid and printed circuits.
The electrical functionality of a resistor is specified by its resistance: common
commercial resistors are manufactured over a range of more than 9 orders of magnitude. When
specifying that resistance in an electronic design, the required precision of the resistance may
require attention to the manufacturing tolerance of the chosen resistor, according to its specific
application. The temperature coefficient of the resistance may also be of concern in some
precision applications. Practical resistors are also specified as having a maximum power rating
which must exceed the anticipated power dissipation of that resistor in a particular circuit: this is
mainly of concern in power electronics applications.
68
Resistors with higher power ratings are physically larger and may require heat sinking. In
a high voltage circuit, attention must sometimes be paid to the rated maximum working voltage
of the resistor.
The series inductance of a practical resistor causes its behavior to depart from ohms law;
this specification can be important in some high-frequency applications for smaller values of
resistance. In a low-noise amplifier or pre-amp the noise characteristics of a resistor may be an
issue. The unwanted inductance, excess noise, and temperature coefficient are mainly dependent
on the technology used in manufacturing the resistor. They are not normally specified
individually for a particular family of resistors manufactured using a particular technology. A
family of discrete resistors is also characterized according to its form factor, that is, the size of
the device and position of its leads (or terminals) which is relevant in the practical manufacturing
of circuits using them.
Units
The ohm (symbol: Ω) is the SI unit of electrical resistance, named after Georg Simon
Ohm. An ohm is equivalent to a volt per ampere. Since resistors are specified and manufactured
over a very large range of values, the derived units of milliohm (1 mΩ = 10−3 Ω), kilohm (1 kΩ =
103 Ω), and megohm (1 MΩ = 106 Ω) are also in common usage.
The reciprocal of resistance R is called conductance G = 1/R and is measured in Siemens
(SI unit), sometimes referred to as a mho. Thus a Siemens is the reciprocal of an ohm: S = Ω − 1.
Although the concept of conductance is often used in circuit analysis, practical resistors are
always specified in terms of their resistance (ohms) rather than conductance.
4.12 LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD)
Description:
This is the example for the Parallel Port. This example doesn't use the Bi-directional
feature found on newer ports, thus it should work with most, if not all Parallel Ports.
69
It however doesn't show the use of the Status Port as an input for a 16 Character x 2 Line
LCD Module to the Parallel Port. These LCD Modules are very common these days, and are
quite simple to work with, as all the logic required running them is on board.
Pros:
 Very compact and light
 Low power consumption
 No geometric distortion
 Little or no flicker depending on backlight technology
 Not affected by screen burn-in
 No high voltage or other hazards present during repair/service
 Can be made in almost any size or shape
 No theoretical resolution limit
LCD Background:
Frequently, an 8051 program must interact with the outside world using input and output
devices that communicate directly with a human being. One of the most common devices
attached to an 8051 is an LCD display. Some of the most common LCDs connected to the 8051
are 16x2 and 20x2 displays. This means 16 characters per line by 2 lines and 20 characters per
line by 2 lines, respectively.
Fortunately , a very popular standard exists which allows us to communicate with the
vast majority of LCDs regardless of their manufacturer. The standard is referred to as
HD44780U, which refers to the controller chip which receives data from an external source (in
this case, the 8051) and communicates directly with the LCD.
FIG 4.10: LCD
70
44780 LCD BACKGROUND
The 44780 standard requires 3 control lines as well as either 4 or 8 I/O lines for the data
bus. The user may select whether the LCD is to operate with a 4-bit data bus or an 8-bit data bus.
If a 4-bit data bus is used the LCD will require a total of 7 data lines (3 control lines plus the 4
lines for the data bus). If an 8-bit data bus is used the LCD will require a total of 11 data lines (3
control lines plus the 8 lines for the data bus).
The three control lines are referred to as EN, RS, and RW.
The EN line is called "Enable." This control line is used to tell the LCD that you are
sending it data. To send data to the LCD, your program should make sure this line is low (0) and
then set the other two control lines and/or put data on the data bus. When the other lines are
completely ready, bring EN high (1) and wait for the minimum amount of time required by the
LCD datasheet (this varies from LCD to LCD), and end by bringing it low (0) again.
71
The RS line is the "Register Select" line. When RS is low (0), the data is to be treated as a
command or special instruction (such as clear screen, position cursor, etc.). When RS is high (1),
the data being sent is text data which should be displayed on the screen. For example, to display
the letter "T" on the screen you would set RS high.
The RW line is the "Read/Write" control line. When RW is low (0), the information on
the data bus is being written to the LCD. When RW is high (1), the program is effectively
querying (or reading) the LCD. Only one instruction ("Get LCD status") is a read command. All
others are write commands--so RW will almost always be low .Finally, the data bus consists of 4
or 8 lines (depending on the mode of operation selected by the user). In the case of an 8-bit data
bus, the lines are referred to as DB0, DB1, DB2, DB3, DB4, DB5, DB6, and DB7.
4.13 CAPACITORS
A capacitor or condenser is a passive electronic component consisting of a pair of
conductors separated by a dielectric. When a voltage potential difference exists between the
conductors, an electric field is present in the dielectric. This field stores energy and produces a
mechanical force between the plates. The effect is greatest between wide, flat, parallel, narrowly
separated conductors.
An ideal capacitor is characterized by a single constant value, capacitance, which is
measured in farads. This is the ratio of the electric charge on each conductor to the potential
difference between them. In practice, the dielectric between the plates passes a small amount of
leakage current. The conductors and leads introduce an equivalent series resistance and the
dielectric has an electric field strength limit resulting in a breakdown voltage.
The properties of capacitors in a circuit may determine the resonant frequency and
quality factor of a resonant circuit, power dissipation and operating frequency in a digital logic
circuit, energy capacity in a high-power system, and many other important aspects.
72
A capacitor (formerly known as condenser) is a device for storing electric charge. The
forms of practical capacitors vary widely, but all contain at least two conductors separated by a
non-conductor. Capacitors used as parts of electrical systems, for example, consist of metal foils
separated by a layer of insulating film.
Capacitors are widely used in electronic circuits for blocking direct current while
allowing alternating current to pass, in filter networks, for smoothing the output of power
supplies, in the resonant circuits that tune radios to particular frequencies and for many other
purposes.
A capacitor is a passive electronic component consisting of a pair of conductors separated
by a dielectric (insulator). When there is a potential difference (voltage) across the conductors, a
static electric field develops in the dielectric that stores energy and produces a mechanical force
between the conductors. An ideal capacitor is characterized by a single constant value,
capacitance, measured in farads. This is the ratio of the electric charge on each conductor to the
potential difference between them.
73
The capacitance is greatest when there is a narrow separation between large areas of
conductor, hence capacitor conductors are often called "plates", referring to an early means of
construction. In practice the dielectric between the plates passes a small amount of leakage
current and also has an electric field strength limit, resulting in a breakdown voltage, while the
conductors and leads introduce an undesired inductance and resistance.
Theory of operation
Capacitance
Charge separation in a parallel-plate capacitor causes an internal electric field. A
dielectric (orange) reduces the field and increases the capacitance.
A simple demonstration of a parallel-plate capacitor
A capacitor consists of two conductors separated by a non-conductive region. The non-
conductive region is called the dielectric or sometimes the dielectric medium. In simpler terms,
the dielectric is just an electrical insulator.
74
Examples of dielectric mediums are glass, air, paper, vacuum, and even a semiconductor
depletion region chemically identical to the conductors. A capacitor is assumed to be self-
contained and isolated, with no net electric charge and no influence from any external electric
field.
The conductors thus hold equal and opposite charges on their facing surfaces, and the
dielectric develops an electric field. In SI units, a capacitance of one farad means that one
coulomb of charge on each conductor causes a voltage of one volt across the device.
The capacitor is a reasonably general model for electric fields within electric circuits. An
ideal capacitor is wholly characterized by a constant capacitance C, defined as the ratio of charge
±Q on each conductor to the voltage V between them:
Sometimes charge build-up affects the capacitor mechanically, causing its capacitance to
vary. In this case, capacitance is defined in terms of incremental changes:
Energy storage
Work must be done by an external influence to "move" charge between the conductors in
a capacitor. When the external influence is removed the charge separation persists in the electric
field and energy is stored to be released when the charge is allowed to return to its equilibrium
position. The work done in establishing the electric field, and hence the amount of energy stored,
is given by:
Current-voltage relation
The current i(t) through any component in an electric circuit is defined as the rate of flow
of a charge q(t) passing through it, but actual charges, electrons, cannot pass through the
dielectric layer of a capacitor, rather an electron accumulates on the negative plate for each one
that leaves the positive plate, resulting in an electron depletion and consequent positive charge
on one electrode that is equal and opposite to the accumulated negative charge on the other.
75
Thus the charge on the electrodes is equal to the integral of the current as well as
proportional to the voltage as discussed above. As with any antiderivative, a constant of
integration is added to represent the initial voltage v (t0). This is the integral form of the capacitor
equation,
.
Taking the derivative of this, and multiplying by C, yields the derivative form,
.
The dual of the capacitor is the inductor, which stores energy in the magnetic field rather
than the electric field. Its current-voltage relation is obtained by exchanging current and voltage
in the capacitor equations and replacing C with the inductance L.
4. SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
GETTING STARTED WITH EMBEDDED SYSTEM AND AVR STUDIO
WHAT IS AN EMBEDDED SYSTEM?
An embedded computer is frequently a computer that is implemented for a particular
purpose. In contrast, an average PC computer usually serves a number of purposes: checking
email, surfing the internet, listening to music, word processing, etc... However, embedded
systems usually only have a single task, or a very small number of related tasks that they are
programmed to perform. Every home has several examples of embedded computers. Any
appliance that has a digital clock, for instance, has a small embedded microcontroller that
performs no other task than to display the clock. Modern cars have embedded computers
onboard that control such things as ignition timing and anti-lock brakes using input from a
number of different sensors.
76
In general, an Embedded System:
Is a system built to perform its duty, completely or partially independent of human
intervention.
Is specially designed to perform a few tasks in the most efficient way.
Interacts with physical elements in our environment, viz. controlling and driving a motor,
sensing temperature, etc.
An embedded system can be defined as a control system or computer system designed to
perform a specific task. Examples:
Pen drives (for controlling the communication between P.C. and Flash Chip and also the small
LED!)
Hard disks( again for the same purpose)
Mouse(Reads and Interprets the Sensors and send final result to P.C.),Keyboards
Printers: Ever opened a printer for installing ink cartridge? Then you must have seen the printed
head. There are motors to control the print head and the paper movement. Your P.C. is not
directly connected to them but there is built in MCU of printer to control all these. Your P.C. just
sends the data (pixels) through the communication line (USB or parallel).But the MCU used here
is fairly fast and has lots of RAM.
Automobiles
Calculators, Electronic wending machines, Electronic weighing scales, Phones(digital with LCD
and phonebook)
Cell phones
WHAT IS A MICROCONTROLLER
A microcontroller is an integrated chip that is often part of an embedded system. The
microcontroller includes a CPU, RAM, ROM, I/O ports, and timers like a standard computer, but
because they are designed to execute only a single specific task to control a single system, they
are much smaller and simplified so that they can include all the functions required on a single
chip. In a microcontroller all that you have to do is to make proper connections of the pins and
then feed a computer program into it.
77
After that your microcontroller responds in accordance with the program that has been
fed into it. In a microcontroller program you receive the inputs from a set of input pins that you
specify and then process the input and produce your output on a set of output pins in form digital
signal. However in order to connect the pins, you need to know the pin diagram of the MCU you
are using. The pin diagram of Atmega 16/32 has been given below:
78
SIMPLE MCU BASED SYSTEM
A simplest MCU system may look like below
The program it is executing is like this (In C language).The MCU contains a flash
memory where it stores its program (it is like a hard disk to it). The flash memory can be easily
erased and a new program can burned. This makes them very flexible. MCUs can be
programmed few thousand times before they die.
A SMALL NOTE ABOUT “DELAY”
‘C’ has inbuilt libraries which contain many pre-built functions. One such function is
“Delay”, which introduces a time delay at a particular step. To invoke it in your program, you
need to add the following line at the beginning of your code:
#include <delay.h>;
Thereafter, it can be used in the program by adding the following line:
delay_ms(X);
Where X is the time delay you wish to introduce at that particular step in milliseconds.
79
A SAMPLE PROGRAM
#include <delay.h>;
void main()
{
SetPortDirection();
while(1)
{
PORTA=0b00000001;
delay_ms(500);
PORTA=0b00000000;
delay_ms(500);
}
}
PORTS
A MCU has some ports. Ports are PINs on the MCU that can be turned on and off by program.
On means 5V and off means 0V or GND .This behavior is for OUTPUT mode. They can also be
put in INPUT mode. In INPUT mode they can read what is the signal level on them (only on and
off).If voltage is more than a threshold voltage (usually half the supply) it is reported as ON(1)
otherwise OFF(0).This is how MCU control everything .Majority of the PINs of a MCU are
PORT so you can hookup lots of gizmos to it !!!They are named PORTA ,PORTB ,PORTC
,PORTD etc .They are of one byte which means 8 Bitts all bits of them are connected to external
pins and are available outside the chip. In smaller chips only some of the eight bits are available.
Setting PORTB=0b00000001 will set PORTB's zeroth bit high that is 5V while remaining PINs
will be low (GND).
To write a binary number in c prefix it with 0b ex 0b00001000. It is decimal 8 not 1000!!
80
What the above program does:
STEP 1 SetPortDirection(); This Function Makes the PORTB as OUTPUT. Its implementation detail is
not shown.
STEP 2 PORTB=0b00000001; makes the 0th bit high, switching off the L.E.D. because other end of
LED is connected to VCC (i.e. Supply voltage 5V). Note that the 0 in 0b is a “zero”, not an “oh”.
STEP 3 delay_ms(500); Halts the MCU for 0.5 Sec
STEP 4 PORTB=0b00000000; Switches on the LED
STEP 5 delay_ms(500); STEP 2 to 5 are within an infinite while loop so it runs till MCU is powered.
The program is compiled, and burned into the chip and power is turned on and woillaaaa that LED is
blinking once every second. Although the given program doesn't do something very important and can be
done without a MCU and in a cheap manner, but it introduce you to microcontroller programming .Doing
this with MCU has some advantages also. You can change the way LED blinks by simply writing a new
program without touching the hardware part. You can also connect 8 LEDs to all 8 PINs of the PORTB,
write a nice program them to light them in various pattern and you have a deluxe decorating lights!!!
Which you can't make easily without MCU. So you have seen that major functioning of a MCU project is
made in software and hardware part is simple and small. So you have learned the basics of MCUs and
their use.
BASIC DIGITAL I/O
Digital IO is the most fundamental of connecting a MCU to the external world. The interfacing is done
through PORT. A PORT is a point where data internal to the MCU chip comes out. They are present in
form of PINS of the IC. Most of the Pins (32 out of 40) are dedicated to this function and other pins are
used for Power supply, clock sources etc. Once introduced to the concept of Ports the next task is to learn
how to use these Ports to get Input from a port and to Output to a Port. IO is usually done by controlling
the values of certain registers associated with these PORTs.
81
A register is a variable (usually 8 bit) whose value can be changed and read from within your
program just like you do for any other variable. Therefore IO is done in a very simple fashion simply by
altering or reading the values of certain variables. There are 32 pins available for IO (8 pins per Port) and
each pin can be set to either take input (voltage high or low) or to output a digital value (0 or 1). In order
to control which pin should do input and which should do output, there is a register called DDR (Data
Direction Register), whose value tells the microprocessor which is to be set to input and which to output.
For example , to set Pin no 0, 2, 3, 7 of Port A to input and other pins of PORT A to output, the command
would be:
DDRA=0b01110010;
Here DDRA means the DDR register of PORT A. 0b means that we are entering the number in
binary. The sequence of 0s and 1s indicate which pin is to be input and which is to output. A 0 means
input and 1 means output. We could equivalently write: DDRA=114; (decimal equivalent of 01001110).
Next comes how to read/write data from/to these pins. For this task there are two registers, PORT and
PIN. PIN (Port Input) is the register that reads the input from the pin. For example in order to read the
value of pin number 3 of port A into a variable x, the command would be: x=PINA.3; or equivalently
x=PINA&0b00001000;.where the ‘&’ is binary AND. x would be 0 if PINA.3 is set to low otherwise it
would be a non zero value. You can only read from a PIN register, you cannot write into it. PORT is the
register that is used to output values. For example to output 1 on pin no 5 of Port D, you would say
PORTD.5=1; or PORTD=PORTD|0b00100000 after setting pin 5 of port D to output. Here Boolean
algebra is used and the reader is supposed to be familiar with such concepts of ANDing and ORing bits.
To summarize, IO is done through PORTS and each PORT is associated with 3 registers for IO.
82
A SAMPLE PROGRAM
Suppose that you have a LED and a switch. Now you want that when you press the switch the LED is
switched OFF, otherwise it is ON. Also suppose that you have made proper connection of the mcu, that is
provided power connections (GND on the GND terminals-11 & 31, and Vcc on 10 and 30 and also on
RESET . Then your next task is to connect the output of your switch to appropriate pin, say connect it to
Pin 0 of Port C, and connect LED to, say Pin 2 of Port C. Then the Programme to do the above mentioned
task will be:
#include <delay.h>;
DDRC=0b00000100 //it is a good practice to set unused pins to
input.
While (1)
{
If(PINC.0==1)
{
PORTC.2=0;
delay_ms(100);
}
else
{
PORTC.2=1;
delay_ms(100);
}
}
WinAVR
There are several ways that you can write, compile, and download a program to the
ATmega16 microcontroller. There are many different text editors, compilers, and utilities
available for many different languages (C, BASIC, assembly language, etc.). Some of these are
free of charge, and some require a licensing fee to use them. In this class, we will use a freeware
package of software tools named WinAVR (pronounced, “whenever”). WinAVR has been
installed on the computers in the Mechatronics Laboratory, but you are strongly encouraged to
download it and install it on your own computer, so you can work with your microcontroller
outside of the lab. WinAVR consists of a suite of executable, open source software development
tools for the Atmel AVR series of RISC microprocessors hosted on the Windows platform.
83
It includes the GNU GCC compiler for C and C++, which is sometimes referred to as
avr-gcc. Traditionally, the microcontroller in embedded systems was programmed directly using
assembly language. Assembly language uses only the basic instruction set for a particular
microcontroller. While this can produce fast, efficient code, it is limited in that every processor
type has its own instruction set. Therefore it is not a practical language to learn unless you are
doing a project that is dedicated to a specific microcontroller or has a real need for precise timing
and/or memory use. The C language, on the other hand, is commonly used in industry and can be
applied over many different platforms.
By learning this one language, you will be able to program almost any microcontroller,
provided that you have a compiler that can translate C code into assembly language for your
controller. The Gnu-C compiler is an open-source, freeware, C compiler that forms the basis for
compilers that generate code for many different microcontrollers and various operating systems,
such as Windows and UNIX.
GETTING STARTED WITH CODEVISIONAVR
CodeVisionAVR (CVAVR) is the C-program language compiler that shall be used to program
the MCU. CVAVR is a highly versatile software which offers “High Performance ANSI C Compiler,
Integrated Development Environment, Automatic Program Generator and In-System Programmer for the
Atmel AVR family of microcontrollers.” After installing and setting up CVAVR, a typical screen with a
program open looks like this:
84
CREATING A NEW PROJECT:
Open up CodeVisionAVR on your PC.
Click on the “New Project” icon to create a new project.
85
When the “Create New File” dialog box pops up, click “Project” then “OK.”
86
A dialog box titled “Confirm” will pop up asking if you would like to use
“CodeWizardAVR.” This is a helpful tool which will help you automatically generate the proper
code depending on your MCU. Select “Yes”. The following window will open:
Select the appropriate Microcontroller and its appropriate frequency.
Now, click on the Ports tab to determine how the I/O ports are to be initialized for the target
system:
87
The default setting is to have the ports for all the target systems to be inputs.
You can also change other settings in this window such as Timers, etc. These topics shall be
covered in the following tutorials.
By selecting the File -> Generate, Save and Exit option, the CodeWizard will generate a skelet
on C program with the appropriate Port initializations. Many Save File prompts shall open –
these are the project files generated by the wizard. Save them with appropriate names.
Now, type your code in the source code window.
Once you’re done with the creation of the source code, you can “make” the project by
clicking on the “Assemble” button.

88
A dialog box appears. Make sure that the message says “No errors,” otherwise, go back
to your code and fix the errors.
If there are no errors in the compilation, it is time to program the chip.
PROGRAMMINGTHE MCU USING AVR STUDIO
Now that the program is ready, it is time to put it on the chip. This is accomplished by a
software known as AVR Studio:
Start AVR Studio. It will immediately ask you to start a new project. Click on Cancel.
In AVR Studio, select menu Tools | Program AVR | Connect.
89
In the ‘Select AVR Programmer’ dialog box, choose ‘STK500 or AVRISP’ as the
platform and ‘Auto’ as Port. Then click button Connect.
Depending on the version of your AVR Studio, a message about firmware may appear.
For now, this message can be discarded by clicking button Cancel. In the ‘STK500’ dialog box
that appears, select the generated hex file as ‘Input Hex File’. Then, click the button Program to
download the HEX file to the AVR chip.
90
The program will now run on the microcontroller.
3. Software Used For Programming Microcontroller
 Win AVR2008(For writing code)
 AVR Studio(For Simulation)
 AVR Dude(To Burn the program)
91
GETTING STARTED:-
First you should require a compiler which converts your program into the hex code of the
avr microcontroller. If you use C for programming Avr then you can use WinAVR. CodeVision
AVR,ImageCraft AVR , BASCOM AVR for programming in BASIC, AVRStuidio for
programming in assembly. But here I am talking about C programming. I use WinaVR2008
for all these programms compilation. Same code is valid for AVRGCC in Linux. Second
requirement is a programmer which transfers the . Hex code(machine code for AVR) into the
chip. That is a programmer which burns the chip. I use USB programmer for that.
92
LET'S START:
Let us start with the microcontroller interfacing with a simple code using ‘C’. Here we will make
to turn continuous on & off of LEDs.
THE CODE IS:-
#include<avr/io.h>
void main()
{
DDRA=0x00;
DDRC=0xFF;
while(1)
{
if(PINA==0x01)
{
PORTC=0x0a;
}
else if(PINA==0x02)
{
PORTC=0x06;
93
}
else if(PINA==0x04)
{
PORTC=0x09;
}
else if(PINA==0x08)
{
PORTC=0x05;
}
else
PORTC=0x00;
}
}
94
10.HARDWARE TESTING
10.1 CONTINUITYTEST:
In electronics, a continuity test is the checking of an electric circuit to see if current flows
(that it is in fact a complete circuit). A continuity test is performed by placing a small voltage
(wired in series with an LED or noise-producing component such as a piezoelectric speaker)
across the chosen path. If electron flow is inhibited by broken conductors, damaged components,
or excessive resistance, the circuit is "open".
Devices that can be used to perform continuity tests include multi meters which measure
current and specialized continuity testers which are cheaper, more basic devices, generally with a
simple light bulb that lights up when current flows.
An important application is the continuity test of a bundle of wires so as to find the two ends
belonging to a particular one of these wires; there will be a negligible resistance between the
"right" ends, and only between the "right" ends.
This test is the performed just after the hardware soldering and configuration has been
completed. This test aims at finding any electrical open paths in the circuit after the soldering.
Many a times, the electrical continuity in the circuit is lost due to improper soldering, wrong and
rough handling of the PCB, improper usage of the soldering iron, component failures and
presence of bugs in the circuit diagram. We use a multi meter to perform this test. We keep the
multi meter in buzzer mode and connect the ground terminal of the multi meter to the ground.
We connect both the terminals across the path that needs to be checked. If there is continuation
then you will hear the beep sound.
95
10.2 POWER ON TEST:
This test is performed to check whether the voltage at different terminals is according to
the requirement or not. We take a multi meter and put it in voltage mode. Remember that this test
is performed without microcontroller. Firstly, we check the output of the transformer, whether
we get the required 12 v AC voltage.
Then we apply this voltage to the power supply circuit. Note that we do this test without
microcontroller because if there is any excessive voltage, this may lead to damaging the
controller. We check for the input to the voltage regulator i.e., are we getting an input of 12v and
an output of 5v. This 5v output is given to the microcontrollers’ 40th pin. Hence we check for the
voltage level at 40th pin. Similarly, we check for the other terminals for the required voltage. In
this way we can assure that the voltage at all the terminals is as per the requirement.
96
11. RESULTS
We have successfully send the alert to the programmed mobile
number. When the piezoelectric sensor (here acting as the accident
vibration sensor) sends the signal to the microcontroller, the motor
driver drives motor for some time, an alert by buzzer at the place
of accident, the accident alert on the LCD and finally the
microcontroller sends the message to the GSM modem to send that
to the preprogrammed GSM mobile number.
97
12. CONCLUSION
 Here we are using only the accident detector part of the
BLACKBOX
 We can save the vehicle data by connecting a memory in it
 Here for project purpose we are using the piezoelectric sensor but
in practical situation there should be a strong detector.
 We can use this project on practical basis
 By putting the value of longitude and altitude on a smart phone we
can get the accurate place of accident
 Also we can use a software to directly view the place in mobile
 From the GPS system we can monitor the velocity but here we are
not using that part

  • 8. 8 1. ABSTRACT Objective: They are used in the vehicles to monitor the Final moment of impact during the accident. This project is developed to record information such as vehicle speed ,location of the vehicle at the time of accident. Determining speed & location information using GPS technology and to be displayed on the LCD. We can use this system for emergency accident alert also. When the car crashes the system send the accident alert and the current position of the vehicle to a preprogrammed mobile number via GSM modem.
  • 9. 9 2. INTRODUCTION TO EMBEDDED SYSTEMS What is Embedded system? An Embedded System is a combination of computer hardware and software, and perhaps additional mechanical or other parts, designed to perform a specific function. An embedded system is a microcontroller-based, software driven, reliable, real-time control system, autonomous, or human or network interactive, operating on diverse physical variables and in diverse environments and sold into a competitive and cost conscious market. An embedded system is not a computer system that is used primarily for processing, not a software system on PC or UNIX, not a traditional business or scientific application. High-end embedded & lower end embedded systems. High-end embedded system - Generally 32, 64 Bit Controllers used with OS. Examples Personal Digital Assistant and Mobile phones etc .Lower end embedded systems - Generally 8,16 Bit Controllers used with an minimal operating systems and hardware layout designed for the specific purpose. Examples Small controllers and devices in our everyday life like Washing Machine, Microwave Ovens, where they are embedded in. SYSTEM DESIGN CALLS: Figure 2(a): design cycles
  • 10. 10 EMBEDDED SYSTEM DESIGN CYCLE Figure.2(b):“V Diagram” Characteristics of Embedded System • An embedded system is any computer system hidden inside a product other than a computer. • They will encounter a number of difficulties when writing embedded system software in addition to those we encounter when we write applications – Throughput – Our system may need to handle a lot of data in a short period of time. – Response–Our system may need to react to events quickly – Testability–Setting up equipment to test embedded software can be difficult – Debugability–Without a screen or a keyboard, finding out what the software is doing wrong (other than not working) is a troublesome problem – Reliability – embedded systems must be able to handle any situation without human intervention – Memory space – Memory is limited on embedded systems, and you must make the software and the data fit into whatever memory exists
  • 11. 11 – Program installation – you will need special tools to get your software into embedded systems – Power consumption – Portable systems must run on battery power, and the software in these systems must conserve power – Processor hogs – computing that requires large amounts of CPU time can complicate the response problem – Cost – Reducing the cost of the hardware is a concern in many embedded system projects; software often operates on hardware that is barely adequate for the job. • Embedded systems have a microprocessor/ microcontroller and a memory. Some have a serial port or a network connection. They usually do not have keyboards, screens or disk drives. APPLICATIONS 1) Military and aerospace embedded software applications 2) Communication Applications 3) Industrial automation and process control software 4) Mastering the complexity of applications. 5) Reduction of product design time. 6) Real time processing of ever increasing amounts of data. 7) Intelligent, autonomous sensors. CLASSIFICATION  Real Time Systems.  RTS is one which has to respond to events within a specified deadline.  A right answer after the dead line is a wrong answer. RTS CLASSIFICATION  Hard Real Time Systems  Soft Real Time System
  • 12. 12 HARD REAL TIME SYSTEM  "Hard" real-time systems have very narrow response time.  Example: Nuclear power system, Cardiac pacemaker. SOFT REAL TIME SYSTEM  "Soft" real-time systems have reduced constrains on "lateness" but still must operate very quickly and repeatable.  Example: Railway reservation system – takes a few extra seconds the data remains valid. 3.

  • 14. 14 4.1 TRANSFORMER Transformers convert AC electricity from one voltage to another with a little loss of power. Step-up transformers increase voltage, step-down transformers reduce voltage. Most power supplies use a step-down transformer to reduce the dangerously high voltage to a safer low voltage. FIG 4.1: A TYPICAL TRANSFORMER The input coil is called the primary and the output coil is called the secondary. There is no electrical connection between the two coils; instead they are linked by an alternating magnetic field created in the soft-iron core of the transformer. The two lines in the middle of the circuit symbol represent the core. Transformers waste very little power so the power out is (almost) equal to the power in. Note that as voltage is stepped down and current is stepped up. The ratio of the number of turns on each coil, called the turn’s ratio, determines the ratio of the voltages. A step-down transformer has a large number of turns on its primary (input) coil which is connected to the high voltage mains supply, and a small number of turns on its secondary (output) coil to give a low output voltage. TURNS RATIO = (Vp / Vs) = ( Np / Ns ) Where, Vp = primary (input) voltage. Vs = secondary (output) voltage Np = number of turns on primary coil Ns = number of turns on secondary coil Ip = primary (input) current Is = secondary (output) current.
  • 15. 15 Ideal power equation The ideal transformer as a circuit element. If the secondary coil is attached to a load that allows current to flow, electrical power is transmitted from the primary circuit to the secondary circuit. Ideally, the transformer is perfectly efficient; all the incoming energy is transformed from the primary circuit to the magnetic field and into the secondary circuit. If this condition is met, the incoming electric power must equal the outgoing power: Giving the ideal transformer equation Transformers normally have high efficiency, so this formula is a reasonable approximation. If the voltage is increased, then the current is decreased by the same factor. The impedance in one circuit is transformed by the square of the turns ratio.
  • 16. 16 For example, if an impedance Zs is attached across the terminals of the secondary coil, it appears to the primary circuit to have an impedance of (Np/Ns)2Zs. This relationship is reciprocal, so that the impedance Zp of the primary circuit appears to the secondary to be (Ns/Np)2Zp. 4.2 VOLTAGE REGULATOR 7805 Features • Output Current up to 1A. • Output Voltages of 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 24V. • Thermal Overload Protection. • Short Circuit Protection. • Output Transistor Safe Operating Area Protection.

  • 18. 18 4.3 RECTIFIER A rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating current (AC), which periodically reverses direction, to direct current (DC), current that flows in only one direction, a process known as rectification. Rectifiers have many uses including as components of power supplies and as detectors of radio signals. Rectifiers may be made of solid state diodes, vacuum tube diodes, mercury arc valves, and other components. The output from the transformer is fed to the rectifier. It converts A.C. into pulsating D.C. The rectifier may be a half wave or a full wave rectifier. In this project, a bridge rectifier is used because of its merits like good stability and full wave rectification. In positive half cycle only two diodes( 1 set of parallel diodes) will conduct, in negative half cycle remaining two diodes will conduct and they will conduct only in forward bias only. 4.4 FILTER Capacitive filter is used in this project. It removes the ripples from the output of rectifier and smoothens the D.C. Output received from this filter is constant until the mains voltage and load is maintained constant. However, if either of the two is varied, D.C. voltage received at this point changes. Therefore a regulator is applied at the output stage.
  • 19. 19 The simple capacitor filter is the most basic type of power supply filter. The use of this filter is very limited. It is sometimes used on extremely high-voltage, low-current power supplies for cathode-ray and similar electron tubes that require very little load current from the supply. This filter is also used in circuits where the power-supply ripple frequency is not critical and can be relatively high. Below figure can show how the capacitor changes and discharges.

Like a mini, self contained computer, it can be programmed to interact with both the hardware of the system and the user. Even the most basic microcontroller can perform simple math operations, control digital outputs, and monitor digital inputs. As the computer industry has evolved, so has the technology associated with microcontrollers. Newer microcontrollers are much faster, have more memory, and have a host of input and output features that dwarf the ability of earlier models. Most modern controllers have analog-to-digital converters, high-speed timers and counters, interrupt capabilities, outputs that can be pulse-width modulated, serial communication ports, etc.

  • 30. 30 I/O Ports All AVR ports have true Read-Modify-Write functionality when used as general digital I/O ports. This means that the direction of one port pin can be changed without unintentionally changing the direction of any other pin with the SBI and CBI instructions. The same applies when changing drive value (if configured as output) or enabling/disabling of pull-up resistors (if configured as input). Each output buffer has symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink and source capability. The pin driver is strong enough to drive LED displays directly. All port pins have individually selectable pull-up resistors with a supply-voltage invariant resistance. All I/O pins have protection diodes to both VCC and Ground as indicated in. Analog To Digital Converter The ATmega16 features a 10-bit successive approximation ADC. The ADC is connected to an 8- channel Analog Multiplexer which allows 8 single-ended voltage inputs constructed from the pins of Port A. The single-ended voltage inputs refer to 0V (GND). The device also supports 16 differential voltage input combinations.
  • 31. 31 Two of the differential inputs (ADC1, ADC0 and ADC3, ADC2) are equipped with a programmable gain stage, providing amplification steps of 0 dB (1x), 20 dB (10x), or 46 dB (200x) on the differential input voltage before the A/D conversion. Seven differential analog input channels share a common negative terminal (ADC1), while any other ADC input can be selected as the positive input terminal. If 1x or 10x gain is used, 8-bit resolution can be expected. If 200x gain is used, 7-bit resolution can be expected. The ADC contains a Sample and Hold circuit which ensures that the input voltage to the ADC is held at a constant level during conversion. A block diagram of the ADC is shown in Figure 98. The ADC has a separate analog supply voltage pin, AVCC. AVCC must not differ more than ±0.3 V from VCC. See the paragraph “ADC Noise Canceler” on page 213 on how to connect this pin. Internal reference voltages of nominally 2.56V or AVCC are provided On-chip. The voltage reference may be externally decoupled at the AREF pin by a capacitor for better noise performance. The ADC converts an analog input voltage to a 10-bit digital value through successive approximation. The minimum value represents GND and the maximum value represents the voltage on the AREF pin minus 1 LSB. Optionally, AVCC or an internal 2.56V reference voltage may be connected to the AREF pin by writing to the REFSn bits in the ADMUX Register. The internal voltage reference may thus be decoupled by an external capacitor at the AREF pin to improve noise immunity. The analog input channel and differential gain are selected by writing to the MUX bits in ADMUX. Any of the ADC input pins, as well as GND and a fixed bandgap voltage reference, can be selected as single ended inputs to the ADC. A selection of ADC input pins can be selected as positive and negative inputs to the differential gain amplifier. If differential channels are selected, the differential gain stage amplifies the voltage difference between the selected input channel pair by the selected gain factor. This amplified value then becomes the analog input to the ADC. If single ended channels are used, the gain amplifier is bypassed altogether. The ADC is enabled by setting the ADC Enable bit, ADEN in ADCSRA. Voltage reference and input channel selections will not go into effect until ADEN is set. The ADC does not consume power when ADEN is cleared, so it is recommended to switch off the ADC before entering power saving sleep modes.
  • 32. 32 The ADC generates a 10-bit result which is presented in the ADC Data Registers, ADCH and ADCL. By default, the result is presented right adjusted, but can optionally be presented left adjusted by setting the ADLAR bit in ADMUX. If the result is left adjusted and no more than 8- bit precision is required, it is sufficient to read ADCH. Otherwise, ADCL must be read first, then ADCH, to ensure that the content of the Data Registers belongs to the same conversion. Once ADCL is read, ADC access to Data Registers is blocked. This means that if ADCL has been read, and a conversion completes before ADCH is read, neither register is updated and the result from the conversion is lost. When ADCH is read, ADC access to the ADCH and ADCL Registers is re-enabled. The ADC has its own interrupt which can be triggered when a conversion completes. When ADC access to the Data Registers is prohibited between reading of ADCH and ADCL, the interrupt will trigger even if the result is lost. XTAL1: Input to the inverting oscillator amplifier and input to the internal clock operating circuit. XTAL2: Output from the inverting oscillator amplifier. 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 1. 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 6.2. 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.
  • 33. 33 FIG 4.5(b): Oscillator Connections FIG 4.5(d): External Clock Drive Configuration 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.
  • 34. 34 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-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. GSM MODEM GSM/GPRS module is used to establish communication between a computer and a GSM-GPRS system. Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) is an architecture used for mobile communication in most of the countries. Global Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is an extension of GSM that enables higher data transmission rate. GSM/GPRS module consists of a GSM/GPRS modem assembled together with power supply circuit and communication interfaces (like RS-232, USB, etc) for computer. The MODEM is the soul of such modules.
  • 35. 35 Wireless MODEMs Wireless MODEMs are the MODEM devices that generate, transmit or decode data from a cellular network, for establishing communication between the cellular network and the computer. These are manufactured for specific cellular network (GSM/UMTS/CDMA) or specific cellular data standard (GSM/UMTS/GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA) or technology (GPS/SIM). Wireless MODEMs like other MODEM devices use serial communication to interface with and need Hayes compatible AT commands for communication with the computer (any microprocessor or microcontroller system). GSM/GPRS MODEM GSM/GPRS MODEM is a class of wireless MODEM devices that are designed for communication of a computer with the GSM and GPRS network. It requires a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card just like mobile phones to activate communication with the network. Also they have IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number similar to mobile phones for their identification. A GSM/GPRS MODEM can perform the following operations: 1. Receive, send or delete SMS messages in a SIM. 2. Read, add, search phonebook entries of the SIM. 3. Make, Receive, or reject a voice call.
  • 36. 36 The MODEM needs AT commands, for interacting with processor or controller, which are communicated through serial communication. These commands are sent by the controller/processor. The MODEM sends back a result after it receives a command. Different AT commands supported by the MODEM can be sent by the processor/controller/computer to interact with the GSM and GPRS cellular network. GSM/GPRS Module A GSM/GPRS module assembles a GSM/GPRS modem with standard communication interfaces like RS-232 (Serial Port), USB etc., so that it can be easily interfaced with a computer or a microprocessor / microcontroller based system. The power supply circuit is also built in the module that can be activated by using a suitable adaptor. AT Commands AT commands are used to control MODEMs. AT is the abbreviation for Attention. These commands come from Hayes commands that were used by the Hayes smart modems. The Hayes commands started with AT to indicate the attention from the MODEM. The dial up and wireless MODEMs (devices that involve machine to machine communication) need AT commands to interact with a computer. These include the Hayes command set as a subset, along with other extended AT commands. AT commands with a GSM/GPRS MODEM or mobile phone can be used to access following information and services: 1.Information and configuration pertaining to mobile device or MODEM and SIM card. 2.SMS services. 3.MMS services. 4.Fax services. 5.Data and Voice link over mobile network. The Hayes subset commands are called the basic commands and the commands specific to a GSM network are called extended AT commands.
  • 37. 37 Command, Information response and Result Codes: The AT commands are sent by the computer to the MODEM/ mobile phone. The MODEM sends back an Information Response i.e. the information requested by or pertaining to the action initiated by the AT command. This is followed by a Result Code. The result code tells about the successful execution of that command. There are also unsolicited Result Codes that are returned automatically by the MODEM to notify the occurrence of an event. For example the reception of a SMS will force MODEM to return an unsolicited result code.
  • 38. 38 AT commands' syntax Case Sensitivity - The AT commands are generally used in uppercase letters. However some MODEMs and mobile phones allow both uppercase and small case letters. Single Command - The AT commands include a prefix AT which indicates the beginning of the command to MODEM; and a carriage return which indicates the end of the command. Using a Single AT Command However string ‘AT’ itself is not the part of the command. For example in ATD, D is the command name not ATD. The extended AT commands have a ‘+’ in the command name. For example: AT+CGMI<Carriage return> Command Line - Multiple AT commands can be sent to MODEM in a single command line. The commands in a line are separated by a semi-colon (;).
  • 39. 39 For example: AT+CGMI; +CBS<Carriage return> String in Command Line - Strings in a command line are enclosed in double quotes. For example: AT+CGML=”ALL”<Carriage return> Information Response and Result Code – The Information Response and Result Codes, returned by the MODEM, have a carriage return and line feed in the beginning as well as at the end. Information Response and Result Code For example: <Carriage return><Line feed>OK<Carriage return><Line feed> <Carriage return><Line feed>ERROR<Carriage return><Line feed> <Carriage return><Line feed>+CBC: 0, 60<Carriage return><Line feed> etc.
  • 40. 40 Sequence of Execution – In the command line, the command appearing first is executed first. The execution then follows for second appeared command and so on. The execution of commands in a command line takes place in sequential manner. If an error occurs in the execution of a command, an error result code is returned by the MODEM and the execution of the command line is terminated irrespective of presence of other commands next in the command line. Types of commands: There are four types of AT commands: 1) Test commands 2) Read commands 3) Set commands 4) Execution commands Different Result Codes RESULT CODE DESCRIPTION OK Successful Execution of a command ERROR Execution of a command failed +CMS ERROR Message service failure, is returned with an error code Unsolicited Result Codes +CDS Notify receipt of SMS status report of a new message to computer +CDSI Notify receipt of SMS status report of a new message and its location in memory to computer +CMT Notify forwarding of a new SMS to computer +CMTI Notify receipt of SMS status report of a new message and its location in memory to computer
  • 41. 41 Overview To connectmost GSM modulestomicrocontrollers aserial connectionisutilized, the problem with this can be if you are using a microcontroller that running at a higher voltage than the GSM module the serial logic levels will be off. Every module has specifications for its serial port and they have to be followed in order to have a working communications system (the below specifications are from a GE863 Telit model):
  • 42. 42 Each input and output is described with a Min and Max level, what this means is between the two specifications is where the input state will trigger or the output voltage will range between. So as you can see the GSM will read a logic low between 0-.5V and will output a logic high between 2.2-3V. So our microcontroller needs to have these same voltage levels to talk with the GSM. Logic levels are very important and can determine the quality of serial communication you have to take into account the HIGH logic level as well as the low logic level to get a good connection. The GSM modules usually have a Logic Level of 2.8v CMOS compatible, because they are designed to run off a single cell Lithium battery. So if you are running your microcontroller at another voltage than ~3V you will need to change the logic levels. Below are a few ways you can hook up your boards to a GSM. How to connect Interfacing MODEM/Mobile phone with Windows platform The Windows (XP and lower versions) comes with an application called HyperTerminal for data communication through serial port of the computer. The interfacing of the GSM/GPRS module with the serial port of the computer involves following steps: 1) Connect RS-232 port of GSM module with the serial port of the computer. Insert a SIM card in the module. 2) Open HyperTerminal from Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Communications -> HyperTerminal. 3) Enter a name for the connection and press OK. 4) Now select the communication port (COM) at which GSM module is connected. 5) Create a new connection set on HyperTerminal. Set parameters, like baud rate as 9600, handshaking mode as none, parity bit as none, stop bit as 1 and data bit as 8. The below examples show you how to connect microcontrollers running at different voltages to a GSM module (or any serial device)
  • 43. 43 ~3V devices If the microcontroller you are using is running at 2.8-~3.3V, you can probably get away without using a level conversion circuit, just check to see that the range of your microcontroller matches with the GSMs, ATMEGA644P LEVELS
  • 44. 44 GE863 LEVELS As you can see if you run the ATMEGA644P at 3.0V: On the Microcontroller: *The input Low level (VIL) is rated -> -.5 to .3(Vcc) and the *The input High level (VIH) is rated -> .6(VCC) to (.5 + VCC) so if VCC = 3V *we get -.5 - .9V for the range of the Low voltage Input. and *we get 1.8V - 3.5V for the Input High range. On the Telit: *The Output Low level (VOL) is 0 - 3.5V and *The Output High level (VOH) is 2.2 - 3.0V We then compare the Microcontrollers input to the Telits output levels, Microcontroller TELIT -.5 - .9 (VIL) -> (VOH) is 0 - 3.5V 1.8V - 3.5V (VIH) -> (VOL) is 2.2 - 3.0V Then do the same thing for the output of the microcontroller to the input of the Telit. And find that they will trigger just fine. So to hook the device up in this case you would just connect the RX and TX together and make sure they share a common ground.
  • 45. 45 >3.3V or<2.8V devices These devices need a Logic conversion circuit in order to operate. The voltages on the microcontroller need to be shifted up or down accordingly to match the telits range and visa versa. This can be done in a couple ways: LogicLevel conversion There are many ways you can do logic conversion most involve using a comparator of some sort but you can also use transistor arrays or a zener diode to accomplish the feat. As you can see there is a Arduino mega(blue running @ 5V) and a GSM(red running @ 3.6V) the third board is the logic conversion board(yellow). The circuit is made up of a LM311N comparator chip and a zener diode with a couple resistors thrown in the mix.
  • 46. 46 Comparator The comparator works by comparing two voltages on two inputs and biasing the output high or low according to which input is higher. So the way it is used in this circuit is to rise up the voltage of the GSM output (Telit RXD normal TX) to the input level of the Arduino mega. The way we accomplish this is to use a voltage divider on one of the inputs which floats the voltage near the max voltage the LOW logic level will output from the GSM. This level is compared to the output of the GSM serial line (Telit RXD normal TX), if the voltage on that line is LOWER than the voltage on the voltage divider the output will be pulled Low (to GND) and the microcontroller will read a LOW logic level. If the voltage out (Telit RXD normal TX) is larger than the dividers level the output is released and the 10K pull up resistor brings the output high, registering a HIGH on the microcontroller.
  • 47. 47 To figure out what voltage level the voltage divider needs to be at and what resistors to use, we employ the ever-ready ohms law (Voltage = current*resistance or V=I*R):
  • 48. 48 So once again we check the Telits documentation to find the LOW LEVEL threshold: and see it is .35V this is a good place to set your threshold, but since I only had a certain set of resistors with me that day I set it at about half that and it works just fine. This is to show that as long as you know what you are shooting for in a pinch there is some wiggle room (and that everyone runs out of parts). So to figure out how to get a .35 voltage out of the divider and into pin 3 on the comparator we need to figure out the voltage drop: So we take 5v and need a drop of 4.65 volts to hit the .35V mark. To find this we use ohms law and take the total resistance value 480K ohms and divide the original voltage by 480k ohms to get the current (I) 5/480K = .0000104166 amps (I) Then we can find the voltage drop by saying (I)*(top resistance = 470k) (.0000104166 amps)(470k) = 4.8958020000 V and so 5V - 4.8958020000V = .1041980000 V which is < half of the specked .35 but in a pinch it works ok, The one thing you don't want to do is just tie the line to ground, in my experience outputs never reliably hit a clean GND and your communications will probably not work.
  • 49. 49 zener The zener diode is the other half of this circuit and cuts down the 5V output from the microcontroller to the 2.8 volt level the GSM needs. You can see the circuit is trivial all you need is a resistor and a zener diode to make it work. The drawbacks of the circuit are at higher baud rates it cad start having inductance problems that mimick RC circuits which will throw off your communications. You can see the circuit in the bottom part of the drawing, what a zener diode does is allow current to flow to ground once a certain threshold is reached and therefore “clamping” the voltage at that set level. You need to put a resistor in series with the zener from preventing a large in-rush of current from destroying the zener. PRE-BUILT boards/systems There are also boards that have the microcontroller and the GSM built into one package for you so you just have to turn it on or solder up a couple connections.
  • 50. 50 The circuit we used on this board utilizes the TC7W125 duel bus buffer with a pull up resistor as shown here:
  • 51. 51 The second board is a small board with a built in logic level circuit on board. With this device you can just make four connections to a microcontroller running 1.8-12v and you are ready to go. Connections: The connections you need to make are, microcontroller GSM(Telit board) RX -> RXD TX -> TXD VCC -> microVcc GND -> GND

  • 54. 54 GPS SYSTEM • GPS modem is a device which receives signals from satellite and provides information about latitude, longitude, altitude, time etc. • The GPS modem has an antenna which receives the satellite signals and transfers them to the modem. The modem in turn converts the data into useful information and sends the output in serial RS232 logic level format longitude, altitude, time etc. • The information about latitude, longitude etc is sent continuously and accompanied by an identifier string. PIEZO SENSOR • Piezoelectric sensors have proven to be versatile tools for the measurement of various processes. • The sensors are either directly mounted into additional holes into the cylinder head or the spark/glow plug is equipped with a built in miniature piezoelectric sensor. • Unlike strain gages that can measure static forces, piezoelectric force sensors are mostly used for dynamic- force measurements such as oscillation, impact, or highspeed compression or tension.
  • 55. 55 • When a force is applied to the impact cap, the quartz elements generate an output voltage which can be routed directly to a charge amplifier or converted to a low-impedance signal within the sensor. The use of the direct sensor output demands that any connector, cable, and charge amplifier input must maintain a high insulation resistance on the order of >10≠″ Ω. 4.7 RELAY A relay is an electrically operated switch. Many relays use an electromagnet to operate a switching mechanism mechanically, but other operating principles are also used. Relays are used where it is necessary to control a circuit by a low-power signal (with complete electrical isolation between control and controlled circuits), or where several circuits must be controlled by one signal.
  • 56. 56 A relay is an electrically operated switch. Current flowing through the coil of the relay creates a magnetic field which attracts a lever and changes the switch contacts. The coil current can be on or off so relays have two switch positions and most have double throw (changeover) switch contacts as shown in the diagram. Fig 4.8 Relay showing coil and switch contacts Relays allow one circuit to switch a second circuit which can be completely separate from the first. For example a low voltage battery circuit can use a relay to switch a 230V AC mains circuit. There is no electrical connection inside the relay between the two circuits; the link is magnetic and mechanical. The coil of a relay passes a relatively large current, typically 30mA for a 12V relay, but it can be as much as 100mA for relays designed to operate from lower voltages. Most ICs (chips) cannot provide this current and a transistor is usually used to amplify the small IC current to the larger value required for the relay coil. The maximum output current for the popular 555 timer IC is 200mA so these devices can supply relay coils directly without amplification. Relays are usually SPDT or DPDT but they can have many more sets of switch contacts, for example relays with 4 sets of changeover contacts are readily available. For further information about switch contacts and the terms used to describe them please see the page on switches.
  • 57. 57 Most relays are designed for PCB mounting but you can solder wires directly to the pins providing you take care to avoid melting the plastic case of the relay. The supplier's catalogue should show you the relay's connections. The coil will be obvious and it may be connected either way round. Relay coils produce brief high voltage 'spikes' when they are switched off and this can destroy transistors and ICs in the circuit. To prevent damage you must connect a protection diode across the relay coil. The figure shows a relay with its coil and switch contacts. You can see a lever on the left being attracted by magnetism when the coil is switched on. This lever moves the switch contacts. There is one set of contacts (SPDT) in the foreground and another behind them, making the relay DPDT. The relay's switch connections are usually labelled COM, NC and NO:  COM = Common, always connect to this; it is the moving part of the switch.  NC = Normally Closed, COM is connected to this when the relay coil is off.  NO = Normally Open, COM is connected to this when the relay coil is on.
  • 58. 58 Applications of relays Relays are used to and for:  Control a high-voltage circuit with a low-voltage signal, as in some types of modems or audio amplifiers.  Control a high-current circuit with a low-current signal, as in the starter solenoid of an automobile.  Detect and isolate faults on transmission and distribution lines by opening and closing circuit breakers.  Time delay functions. Relays can be modified to delay opening or delay closing a set of contacts. A very short (a fraction of a second) delay would use a copper disk between the armature and moving blade assembly. Current flowing in the disk maintains magnetic field for a short time, lengthening release time. For a slightly longer (up to a minute) delay, a dashpot is used. A dashpot is a piston filled with fluid that is allowed to escape slowly. The time period can be varied by increasing or decreasing the flow rate. For longer time periods, a mechanical clockwork timer is installed. 4.8 MOTOR DRIVER (L293D) Features:  Wide supply-voltage range: 4.5V to 36V  Separate input- logic supply  Internal ESD protection  Thermal shutdown  High-Noise-Immunity input  Functional Replacements for SGS L293 and SGS L293D  Output current 1A per channel (600 mA for L293D)  Peak output current 2 A per channel (1.2 A for L293D)  Output clamp diodes for Inductive Transient Suppression(L293D)
  • 59. 59 DESCRIPTION: L293D is a dual H-bridge motor driver integrated circuit (IC). Motor drivers act as current amplifiers since they take a low-current control signal and provide a higher-current signal. This higher current signal is used to drive the motors. L293D contains two inbuilt H-bridge driver circuits. In its common mode of operation, two DC motors can be driven simultaneously, both in forward and reverse direction. The motor operations of two motors can be controlled by input logic at pins 2 & 7 and 10 & 15. Input logic 00 or 11 will stop the corresponding motor. Logic 01 and 10 will rotate it in clockwise and anticlockwise directions, respectively. Enable pins 1 and 9 (corresponding to the two motors) must be high for motors to start operating. When an enable input is high, the associated driver gets enabled. As a result, the outputs become active and work in phase with their inputs. Similarly, when the enable input is low, that driver is disabled, and their outputs are off and in the high-impedance state. BLOCK DIAGRAM OF L293D

  • 61. 61 Fig:PN Junction diode PN JUNCTION OPERATION Now that you are familiar with P- and N-type materials, how these materials are joined together to form a diode, and the function of the diode, let us continue our discussion with the operation of the PN junction. But before we can understand how the PN junction works, we must first consider current flow in the materials that make up the junction and what happens initially within the junction when these two materials are joined together. Current Flow in the N-Type Material Conduction in the N-type semiconductor, or crystal, is similar to conduction in a copper wire. That is, with voltage applied across the material, electrons will move through the crystal just as current would flow in a copper wire. This is shown in figure 1-15. The positive potential of the battery will attract the free electrons in the crystal. These electrons will leave the crystal and flow into the positive terminal of the battery. As an electron leaves the crystal, an electron from the negative terminal of the battery will enter the crystal, thus completing the current path. Therefore, the majority current carriers in the N-type material (electrons) are repelled by the negative side of the battery and move through the crystal toward the positive side of the battery.
  • 62. 62 Current Flow in the P-Type Material Current flow through the P-type material is illustrated. Conduction in the P material is by positive holes, instead of negative electrons. A hole moves from the positive terminal of the P material to the negative terminal. Electrons from the external circuit enter the negative terminal of the material and fill holes in the vicinity of this terminal. At the positive terminal, electrons are removed from the covalent bonds, thus creating new holes. This process continues as the steady stream of holes (hole current) moves toward the negative terminal DC motor A DC motor is a mechanically commutated electric motor powered from direct current (DC). The stator is stationary in space by definition and therefore its current. The current in the rotor is switched by the commutator to also be stationary in space. This is how the relative angle between the stator and rotor magnetic flux is maintained near 90 degrees, which generates the maximum torque. DC motors have a rotating armature winding (winding in which a voltage is induced) but non-rotating armature magnetic field and a static field winding (winding that produce the main magnetic flux) or permanent magnet. Different connections of the field and armature winding provide different inherent speed/torque regulation characteristics. The speed of a DC motor can be controlled by changing the voltage applied to the armature or by changing the field current. The introduction of variable resistance in the armature circuit or field circuit allowed speed control. Modern DC motors are often controlled by power electronics systems called DC drives. The introduction of DC motors to run machinery eliminated the need for local steam or internal combustion engines, and line shaft drive systems. DC motors can operate directly from rechargeable batteries, providing the motive power for the first electric vehicles. Today DC motors are still found in applications as small as toys and disk drives, or in large sizes to operate steel rolling mills and paper machines.
  • 63. 63 Brush The brushed DC electric motor generates torque directly from DC power supplied to the motor by using internal commutation, stationary magnets (permanent or electromagnets), and rotating electrical magnets. Like all electric motors or generators, torque is produced by the principle of Lorentz force, which states that any current-carrying conductor placed within an external magnetic field experiences a torque or force known as Lorentz force. Advantages of a brushed DC motor include low initial cost, high reliability, and simple control of motor speed. Disadvantages are high maintenance and low life-span for high intensity uses. Maintenance involves regularly replacing the brushes and springs which carry the electric current, as well as cleaning or replacing the commutator. These components are necessary for transferring electrical power from outside the motor to the spinning wire windings of the rotor inside the motor.Brushes are made of conductors. Brushless Typical brushless DC motors use a rotating permanent magnet in the rotor, and stationary electrical current/coil magnets on the motor housing for the rotor, but the symmetrical opposite is also possible. A motor controller converts DC to AC.
  • 64. 64 This design is simpler than that of brushed motors because it eliminates the complication of transferring power from outside the motor to the spinning rotor. Advantages of brushless motors include long life span, little or no maintenance, and high efficiency. Disadvantages include high initial cost, and more complicated motor speed controllers. Some such brushless motors are sometimes referred to as "synchronous motors" although they have no external power supply to be synchronized with, as would be the case with normal AC synchronous motors. Connection types Series connection A series DC motor connects the armature and field windings in series with a common D.C. power source. The motor speed varies as a non-linear function of load torque and armature current; current is common to both the stator and rotor yielding (current) squared behavior. A series motor has very high starting torque and is commonly used for starting high inertia loads, such as trains, elevators or hoists. This speed/torque characteristic is useful in applications such as dragline excavators, where the digging tool moves rapidly when unloaded but slowly when carrying a heavy load. Shunt connection A shunt DC motor connects the armature and field windings in parallel or shunt with a common D.C. power source. This type of motor has good speed regulation even as the load varies, but does not have the starting torque of a series DC motor.It is typically used for industrial, adjustable speed applications, such as machine tools, winding/unwinding machines and tensioners.
  • 65. 65 Compound connection A compound DC motor connects the armature and fields windings in a shunt and a series combination to give it characteristics of both a shunt and a series DC motor.This motor is used when both a high starting torque and good speed regulation is needed. The motor can be connected in two arrangements: cumulatively or differentially. Cumulative compound motors connect the series field to aid the shunt field, which provides higher starting torque but less speed regulation. Differential compound DC motors have good speed regulation and are typically operated at constant speed. 4.10 LED A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor light source. LEDs are used as indicator lamps in many devices, and are increasingly used for lighting. When a light-emitting diode is forward biased (switched on), electrons are able to recombine with holes within the device, releasing energy in the form of photons. This effect is called electroluminescence and the color of the light (corresponding to the energy of the photon) is determined by the energy gap of the semiconductor. An LED is often small in area (less than 1 mm2), and integrated optical components may be used to shape its radiation pattern. LEDs present many advantages over incandescent light sources including lower energy consumption, longer lifetime, improved robustness, smaller size, faster switching, and greater durability and reliability. Types of LED’S
  • 66. 66 Light-emitting diodes are used in applications as diverse as replacements for aviation lighting, automotive lighting as well as in traffic signals. The compact size, the possibility of narrow bandwidth, switching speed, and extreme reliability of LEDs has allowed new text and video displays and sensors to be developed, while their high switching rates are also useful in advanced communications technology. Electronic Symbol: 4.11 RESISTORS A resistor is a two-terminal electronic component designed to oppose an electric current by producing a voltage drop between its terminals in proportion to the current, that is, in accordance with Ohm's law: V = IR Resistors are used as part of electrical networks and electronic circuits. They are extremely commonplace in most electronic equipment. Practical resistors can be made of various compounds and films, as well as resistance wire (wire made of a high-resistivity alloy, such as nickel/chrome). The primary characteristics of resistors are their resistance and the power they can dissipate. Other characteristics include temperature coefficient, noise, and inductance. Less well- known is critical resistance, the value below which power dissipation limits the maximum permitted current flow, and above which the limit is applied voltage. Critical resistance depends upon the materials constituting the resistor as well as its physical dimensions; it's determined by design. Resistors can be integrated into hybrid and printed circuits, as well as integrated circuits. Size, and position of leads (or terminals) are relevant to equipment designers; resistors must be physically large enough not to overheat when dissipating their power.
  • 67. 67 A resistor is a two-terminal passive electronic component which implements electrical resistance as a circuit element. When a voltage V is applied across the terminals of a resistor, a current I will flow through the resistor in direct proportion to that voltage. The reciprocal of the constant of proportionality is known as the resistance R, since, with a given voltage V, a larger value of R further "resists" the flow of current I as given by Ohm's law: Resistors are common elements of electrical networks and electronic circuits and are ubiquitous in most electronic equipment. Practical resistors can be made of various compounds and films, as well as resistance wire (wire made of a high-resistivity alloy, such as nickel- chrome). Resistors are also implemented within integrated circuits, particularly analog devices, and can also be integrated into hybrid and printed circuits. The electrical functionality of a resistor is specified by its resistance: common commercial resistors are manufactured over a range of more than 9 orders of magnitude. When specifying that resistance in an electronic design, the required precision of the resistance may require attention to the manufacturing tolerance of the chosen resistor, according to its specific application. The temperature coefficient of the resistance may also be of concern in some precision applications. Practical resistors are also specified as having a maximum power rating which must exceed the anticipated power dissipation of that resistor in a particular circuit: this is mainly of concern in power electronics applications.
  • 68. 68 Resistors with higher power ratings are physically larger and may require heat sinking. In a high voltage circuit, attention must sometimes be paid to the rated maximum working voltage of the resistor. The series inductance of a practical resistor causes its behavior to depart from ohms law; this specification can be important in some high-frequency applications for smaller values of resistance. In a low-noise amplifier or pre-amp the noise characteristics of a resistor may be an issue. The unwanted inductance, excess noise, and temperature coefficient are mainly dependent on the technology used in manufacturing the resistor. They are not normally specified individually for a particular family of resistors manufactured using a particular technology. A family of discrete resistors is also characterized according to its form factor, that is, the size of the device and position of its leads (or terminals) which is relevant in the practical manufacturing of circuits using them. Units The ohm (symbol: Ω) is the SI unit of electrical resistance, named after Georg Simon Ohm. An ohm is equivalent to a volt per ampere. Since resistors are specified and manufactured over a very large range of values, the derived units of milliohm (1 mΩ = 10−3 Ω), kilohm (1 kΩ = 103 Ω), and megohm (1 MΩ = 106 Ω) are also in common usage. The reciprocal of resistance R is called conductance G = 1/R and is measured in Siemens (SI unit), sometimes referred to as a mho. Thus a Siemens is the reciprocal of an ohm: S = Ω − 1. Although the concept of conductance is often used in circuit analysis, practical resistors are always specified in terms of their resistance (ohms) rather than conductance. 4.12 LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD) Description: This is the example for the Parallel Port. This example doesn't use the Bi-directional feature found on newer ports, thus it should work with most, if not all Parallel Ports.
  • 69. 69 It however doesn't show the use of the Status Port as an input for a 16 Character x 2 Line LCD Module to the Parallel Port. These LCD Modules are very common these days, and are quite simple to work with, as all the logic required running them is on board. Pros:  Very compact and light  Low power consumption  No geometric distortion  Little or no flicker depending on backlight technology  Not affected by screen burn-in  No high voltage or other hazards present during repair/service  Can be made in almost any size or shape  No theoretical resolution limit LCD Background: Frequently, an 8051 program must interact with the outside world using input and output devices that communicate directly with a human being. One of the most common devices attached to an 8051 is an LCD display. Some of the most common LCDs connected to the 8051 are 16x2 and 20x2 displays. This means 16 characters per line by 2 lines and 20 characters per line by 2 lines, respectively. Fortunately , a very popular standard exists which allows us to communicate with the vast majority of LCDs regardless of their manufacturer. The standard is referred to as HD44780U, which refers to the controller chip which receives data from an external source (in this case, the 8051) and communicates directly with the LCD. FIG 4.10: LCD
  • 70. 70 44780 LCD BACKGROUND The 44780 standard requires 3 control lines as well as either 4 or 8 I/O lines for the data bus. The user may select whether the LCD is to operate with a 4-bit data bus or an 8-bit data bus. If a 4-bit data bus is used the LCD will require a total of 7 data lines (3 control lines plus the 4 lines for the data bus). If an 8-bit data bus is used the LCD will require a total of 11 data lines (3 control lines plus the 8 lines for the data bus). The three control lines are referred to as EN, RS, and RW. The EN line is called "Enable." This control line is used to tell the LCD that you are sending it data. To send data to the LCD, your program should make sure this line is low (0) and then set the other two control lines and/or put data on the data bus. When the other lines are completely ready, bring EN high (1) and wait for the minimum amount of time required by the LCD datasheet (this varies from LCD to LCD), and end by bringing it low (0) again.
  • 71. 71 The RS line is the "Register Select" line. When RS is low (0), the data is to be treated as a command or special instruction (such as clear screen, position cursor, etc.). When RS is high (1), the data being sent is text data which should be displayed on the screen. For example, to display the letter "T" on the screen you would set RS high. The RW line is the "Read/Write" control line. When RW is low (0), the information on the data bus is being written to the LCD. When RW is high (1), the program is effectively querying (or reading) the LCD. Only one instruction ("Get LCD status") is a read command. All others are write commands--so RW will almost always be low .Finally, the data bus consists of 4 or 8 lines (depending on the mode of operation selected by the user). In the case of an 8-bit data bus, the lines are referred to as DB0, DB1, DB2, DB3, DB4, DB5, DB6, and DB7. 4.13 CAPACITORS A capacitor or condenser is a passive electronic component consisting of a pair of conductors separated by a dielectric. When a voltage potential difference exists between the conductors, an electric field is present in the dielectric. This field stores energy and produces a mechanical force between the plates. The effect is greatest between wide, flat, parallel, narrowly separated conductors. An ideal capacitor is characterized by a single constant value, capacitance, which is measured in farads. This is the ratio of the electric charge on each conductor to the potential difference between them. In practice, the dielectric between the plates passes a small amount of leakage current. The conductors and leads introduce an equivalent series resistance and the dielectric has an electric field strength limit resulting in a breakdown voltage. The properties of capacitors in a circuit may determine the resonant frequency and quality factor of a resonant circuit, power dissipation and operating frequency in a digital logic circuit, energy capacity in a high-power system, and many other important aspects.
  • 72. 72 A capacitor (formerly known as condenser) is a device for storing electric charge. The forms of practical capacitors vary widely, but all contain at least two conductors separated by a non-conductor. Capacitors used as parts of electrical systems, for example, consist of metal foils separated by a layer of insulating film. Capacitors are widely used in electronic circuits for blocking direct current while allowing alternating current to pass, in filter networks, for smoothing the output of power supplies, in the resonant circuits that tune radios to particular frequencies and for many other purposes. A capacitor is a passive electronic component consisting of a pair of conductors separated by a dielectric (insulator). When there is a potential difference (voltage) across the conductors, a static electric field develops in the dielectric that stores energy and produces a mechanical force between the conductors. An ideal capacitor is characterized by a single constant value, capacitance, measured in farads. This is the ratio of the electric charge on each conductor to the potential difference between them.
  • 73. 73 The capacitance is greatest when there is a narrow separation between large areas of conductor, hence capacitor conductors are often called "plates", referring to an early means of construction. In practice the dielectric between the plates passes a small amount of leakage current and also has an electric field strength limit, resulting in a breakdown voltage, while the conductors and leads introduce an undesired inductance and resistance. Theory of operation Capacitance Charge separation in a parallel-plate capacitor causes an internal electric field. A dielectric (orange) reduces the field and increases the capacitance. A simple demonstration of a parallel-plate capacitor A capacitor consists of two conductors separated by a non-conductive region. The non- conductive region is called the dielectric or sometimes the dielectric medium. In simpler terms, the dielectric is just an electrical insulator.
  • 74. 74 Examples of dielectric mediums are glass, air, paper, vacuum, and even a semiconductor depletion region chemically identical to the conductors. A capacitor is assumed to be self- contained and isolated, with no net electric charge and no influence from any external electric field. The conductors thus hold equal and opposite charges on their facing surfaces, and the dielectric develops an electric field. In SI units, a capacitance of one farad means that one coulomb of charge on each conductor causes a voltage of one volt across the device. The capacitor is a reasonably general model for electric fields within electric circuits. An ideal capacitor is wholly characterized by a constant capacitance C, defined as the ratio of charge ±Q on each conductor to the voltage V between them: Sometimes charge build-up affects the capacitor mechanically, causing its capacitance to vary. In this case, capacitance is defined in terms of incremental changes: Energy storage Work must be done by an external influence to "move" charge between the conductors in a capacitor. When the external influence is removed the charge separation persists in the electric field and energy is stored to be released when the charge is allowed to return to its equilibrium position. The work done in establishing the electric field, and hence the amount of energy stored, is given by: Current-voltage relation The current i(t) through any component in an electric circuit is defined as the rate of flow of a charge q(t) passing through it, but actual charges, electrons, cannot pass through the dielectric layer of a capacitor, rather an electron accumulates on the negative plate for each one that leaves the positive plate, resulting in an electron depletion and consequent positive charge on one electrode that is equal and opposite to the accumulated negative charge on the other.
  • 75. 75 Thus the charge on the electrodes is equal to the integral of the current as well as proportional to the voltage as discussed above. As with any antiderivative, a constant of integration is added to represent the initial voltage v (t0). This is the integral form of the capacitor equation, . Taking the derivative of this, and multiplying by C, yields the derivative form, . The dual of the capacitor is the inductor, which stores energy in the magnetic field rather than the electric field. Its current-voltage relation is obtained by exchanging current and voltage in the capacitor equations and replacing C with the inductance L. 4. SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS GETTING STARTED WITH EMBEDDED SYSTEM AND AVR STUDIO WHAT IS AN EMBEDDED SYSTEM? An embedded computer is frequently a computer that is implemented for a particular purpose. In contrast, an average PC computer usually serves a number of purposes: checking email, surfing the internet, listening to music, word processing, etc... However, embedded systems usually only have a single task, or a very small number of related tasks that they are programmed to perform. Every home has several examples of embedded computers. Any appliance that has a digital clock, for instance, has a small embedded microcontroller that performs no other task than to display the clock. Modern cars have embedded computers onboard that control such things as ignition timing and anti-lock brakes using input from a number of different sensors.
  • 76. 76 In general, an Embedded System: Is a system built to perform its duty, completely or partially independent of human intervention. Is specially designed to perform a few tasks in the most efficient way. Interacts with physical elements in our environment, viz. controlling and driving a motor, sensing temperature, etc. An embedded system can be defined as a control system or computer system designed to perform a specific task. Examples: Pen drives (for controlling the communication between P.C. and Flash Chip and also the small LED!) Hard disks( again for the same purpose) Mouse(Reads and Interprets the Sensors and send final result to P.C.),Keyboards Printers: Ever opened a printer for installing ink cartridge? Then you must have seen the printed head. There are motors to control the print head and the paper movement. Your P.C. is not directly connected to them but there is built in MCU of printer to control all these. Your P.C. just sends the data (pixels) through the communication line (USB or parallel).But the MCU used here is fairly fast and has lots of RAM. Automobiles Calculators, Electronic wending machines, Electronic weighing scales, Phones(digital with LCD and phonebook) Cell phones WHAT IS A MICROCONTROLLER A microcontroller is an integrated chip that is often part of an embedded system. The microcontroller includes a CPU, RAM, ROM, I/O ports, and timers like a standard computer, but because they are designed to execute only a single specific task to control a single system, they are much smaller and simplified so that they can include all the functions required on a single chip. In a microcontroller all that you have to do is to make proper connections of the pins and then feed a computer program into it.
  • 77. 77 After that your microcontroller responds in accordance with the program that has been fed into it. In a microcontroller program you receive the inputs from a set of input pins that you specify and then process the input and produce your output on a set of output pins in form digital signal. However in order to connect the pins, you need to know the pin diagram of the MCU you are using. The pin diagram of Atmega 16/32 has been given below:
  • 78. 78 SIMPLE MCU BASED SYSTEM A simplest MCU system may look like below The program it is executing is like this (In C language).The MCU contains a flash memory where it stores its program (it is like a hard disk to it). The flash memory can be easily erased and a new program can burned. This makes them very flexible. MCUs can be programmed few thousand times before they die. A SMALL NOTE ABOUT “DELAY” ‘C’ has inbuilt libraries which contain many pre-built functions. One such function is “Delay”, which introduces a time delay at a particular step. To invoke it in your program, you need to add the following line at the beginning of your code: #include <delay.h>; Thereafter, it can be used in the program by adding the following line: delay_ms(X); Where X is the time delay you wish to introduce at that particular step in milliseconds.
  • 79. 79 A SAMPLE PROGRAM #include <delay.h>; void main() { SetPortDirection(); while(1) { PORTA=0b00000001; delay_ms(500); PORTA=0b00000000; delay_ms(500); } } PORTS A MCU has some ports. Ports are PINs on the MCU that can be turned on and off by program. On means 5V and off means 0V or GND .This behavior is for OUTPUT mode. They can also be put in INPUT mode. In INPUT mode they can read what is the signal level on them (only on and off).If voltage is more than a threshold voltage (usually half the supply) it is reported as ON(1) otherwise OFF(0).This is how MCU control everything .Majority of the PINs of a MCU are PORT so you can hookup lots of gizmos to it !!!They are named PORTA ,PORTB ,PORTC ,PORTD etc .They are of one byte which means 8 Bitts all bits of them are connected to external pins and are available outside the chip. In smaller chips only some of the eight bits are available. Setting PORTB=0b00000001 will set PORTB's zeroth bit high that is 5V while remaining PINs will be low (GND). To write a binary number in c prefix it with 0b ex 0b00001000. It is decimal 8 not 1000!!
  • 80. 80 What the above program does: STEP 1 SetPortDirection(); This Function Makes the PORTB as OUTPUT. Its implementation detail is not shown. STEP 2 PORTB=0b00000001; makes the 0th bit high, switching off the L.E.D. because other end of LED is connected to VCC (i.e. Supply voltage 5V). Note that the 0 in 0b is a “zero”, not an “oh”. STEP 3 delay_ms(500); Halts the MCU for 0.5 Sec STEP 4 PORTB=0b00000000; Switches on the LED STEP 5 delay_ms(500); STEP 2 to 5 are within an infinite while loop so it runs till MCU is powered. The program is compiled, and burned into the chip and power is turned on and woillaaaa that LED is blinking once every second. Although the given program doesn't do something very important and can be done without a MCU and in a cheap manner, but it introduce you to microcontroller programming .Doing this with MCU has some advantages also. You can change the way LED blinks by simply writing a new program without touching the hardware part. You can also connect 8 LEDs to all 8 PINs of the PORTB, write a nice program them to light them in various pattern and you have a deluxe decorating lights!!! Which you can't make easily without MCU. So you have seen that major functioning of a MCU project is made in software and hardware part is simple and small. So you have learned the basics of MCUs and their use. BASIC DIGITAL I/O Digital IO is the most fundamental of connecting a MCU to the external world. The interfacing is done through PORT. A PORT is a point where data internal to the MCU chip comes out. They are present in form of PINS of the IC. Most of the Pins (32 out of 40) are dedicated to this function and other pins are used for Power supply, clock sources etc. Once introduced to the concept of Ports the next task is to learn how to use these Ports to get Input from a port and to Output to a Port. IO is usually done by controlling the values of certain registers associated with these PORTs.
  • 81. 81 A register is a variable (usually 8 bit) whose value can be changed and read from within your program just like you do for any other variable. Therefore IO is done in a very simple fashion simply by altering or reading the values of certain variables. There are 32 pins available for IO (8 pins per Port) and each pin can be set to either take input (voltage high or low) or to output a digital value (0 or 1). In order to control which pin should do input and which should do output, there is a register called DDR (Data Direction Register), whose value tells the microprocessor which is to be set to input and which to output. For example , to set Pin no 0, 2, 3, 7 of Port A to input and other pins of PORT A to output, the command would be: DDRA=0b01110010; Here DDRA means the DDR register of PORT A. 0b means that we are entering the number in binary. The sequence of 0s and 1s indicate which pin is to be input and which is to output. A 0 means input and 1 means output. We could equivalently write: DDRA=114; (decimal equivalent of 01001110). Next comes how to read/write data from/to these pins. For this task there are two registers, PORT and PIN. PIN (Port Input) is the register that reads the input from the pin. For example in order to read the value of pin number 3 of port A into a variable x, the command would be: x=PINA.3; or equivalently x=PINA&0b00001000;.where the ‘&’ is binary AND. x would be 0 if PINA.3 is set to low otherwise it would be a non zero value. You can only read from a PIN register, you cannot write into it. PORT is the register that is used to output values. For example to output 1 on pin no 5 of Port D, you would say PORTD.5=1; or PORTD=PORTD|0b00100000 after setting pin 5 of port D to output. Here Boolean algebra is used and the reader is supposed to be familiar with such concepts of ANDing and ORing bits. To summarize, IO is done through PORTS and each PORT is associated with 3 registers for IO.
  • 82. 82 A SAMPLE PROGRAM Suppose that you have a LED and a switch. Now you want that when you press the switch the LED is switched OFF, otherwise it is ON. Also suppose that you have made proper connection of the mcu, that is provided power connections (GND on the GND terminals-11 & 31, and Vcc on 10 and 30 and also on RESET . Then your next task is to connect the output of your switch to appropriate pin, say connect it to Pin 0 of Port C, and connect LED to, say Pin 2 of Port C. Then the Programme to do the above mentioned task will be: #include <delay.h>; DDRC=0b00000100 //it is a good practice to set unused pins to input. While (1) { If(PINC.0==1) { PORTC.2=0; delay_ms(100); } else { PORTC.2=1; delay_ms(100); } } WinAVR There are several ways that you can write, compile, and download a program to the ATmega16 microcontroller. There are many different text editors, compilers, and utilities available for many different languages (C, BASIC, assembly language, etc.). Some of these are free of charge, and some require a licensing fee to use them. In this class, we will use a freeware package of software tools named WinAVR (pronounced, “whenever”). WinAVR has been installed on the computers in the Mechatronics Laboratory, but you are strongly encouraged to download it and install it on your own computer, so you can work with your microcontroller outside of the lab. WinAVR consists of a suite of executable, open source software development tools for the Atmel AVR series of RISC microprocessors hosted on the Windows platform.
  • 83. 83 It includes the GNU GCC compiler for C and C++, which is sometimes referred to as avr-gcc. Traditionally, the microcontroller in embedded systems was programmed directly using assembly language. Assembly language uses only the basic instruction set for a particular microcontroller. While this can produce fast, efficient code, it is limited in that every processor type has its own instruction set. Therefore it is not a practical language to learn unless you are doing a project that is dedicated to a specific microcontroller or has a real need for precise timing and/or memory use. The C language, on the other hand, is commonly used in industry and can be applied over many different platforms. By learning this one language, you will be able to program almost any microcontroller, provided that you have a compiler that can translate C code into assembly language for your controller. The Gnu-C compiler is an open-source, freeware, C compiler that forms the basis for compilers that generate code for many different microcontrollers and various operating systems, such as Windows and UNIX. GETTING STARTED WITH CODEVISIONAVR CodeVisionAVR (CVAVR) is the C-program language compiler that shall be used to program the MCU. CVAVR is a highly versatile software which offers “High Performance ANSI C Compiler, Integrated Development Environment, Automatic Program Generator and In-System Programmer for the Atmel AVR family of microcontrollers.” After installing and setting up CVAVR, a typical screen with a program open looks like this:
  • 84. 84 CREATING A NEW PROJECT: Open up CodeVisionAVR on your PC. Click on the “New Project” icon to create a new project.
  • 85. 85 When the “Create New File” dialog box pops up, click “Project” then “OK.”
  • 86. 86 A dialog box titled “Confirm” will pop up asking if you would like to use “CodeWizardAVR.” This is a helpful tool which will help you automatically generate the proper code depending on your MCU. Select “Yes”. The following window will open: Select the appropriate Microcontroller and its appropriate frequency. Now, click on the Ports tab to determine how the I/O ports are to be initialized for the target system:
  • 87. 87 The default setting is to have the ports for all the target systems to be inputs. You can also change other settings in this window such as Timers, etc. These topics shall be covered in the following tutorials. By selecting the File -> Generate, Save and Exit option, the CodeWizard will generate a skelet on C program with the appropriate Port initializations. Many Save File prompts shall open – these are the project files generated by the wizard. Save them with appropriate names. Now, type your code in the source code window. Once you’re done with the creation of the source code, you can “make” the project by clicking on the “Assemble” button. 
  • 88. 88 A dialog box appears. Make sure that the message says “No errors,” otherwise, go back to your code and fix the errors. If there are no errors in the compilation, it is time to program the chip. PROGRAMMINGTHE MCU USING AVR STUDIO Now that the program is ready, it is time to put it on the chip. This is accomplished by a software known as AVR Studio: Start AVR Studio. It will immediately ask you to start a new project. Click on Cancel. In AVR Studio, select menu Tools | Program AVR | Connect.
  • 89. 89 In the ‘Select AVR Programmer’ dialog box, choose ‘STK500 or AVRISP’ as the platform and ‘Auto’ as Port. Then click button Connect. Depending on the version of your AVR Studio, a message about firmware may appear. For now, this message can be discarded by clicking button Cancel. In the ‘STK500’ dialog box that appears, select the generated hex file as ‘Input Hex File’. Then, click the button Program to download the HEX file to the AVR chip.
  • 90. 90 The program will now run on the microcontroller. 3. Software Used For Programming Microcontroller  Win AVR2008(For writing code)  AVR Studio(For Simulation)  AVR Dude(To Burn the program)
  • 91. 91 GETTING STARTED:- First you should require a compiler which converts your program into the hex code of the avr microcontroller. If you use C for programming Avr then you can use WinAVR. CodeVision AVR,ImageCraft AVR , BASCOM AVR for programming in BASIC, AVRStuidio for programming in assembly. But here I am talking about C programming. I use WinaVR2008 for all these programms compilation. Same code is valid for AVRGCC in Linux. Second requirement is a programmer which transfers the . Hex code(machine code for AVR) into the chip. That is a programmer which burns the chip. I use USB programmer for that.
  • 92. 92 LET'S START: Let us start with the microcontroller interfacing with a simple code using ‘C’. Here we will make to turn continuous on & off of LEDs. THE CODE IS:- #include<avr/io.h> void main() { DDRA=0x00; DDRC=0xFF; while(1) { if(PINA==0x01) { PORTC=0x0a; } else if(PINA==0x02) { PORTC=0x06;
  • 94. 94 10.HARDWARE TESTING 10.1 CONTINUITYTEST: In electronics, a continuity test is the checking of an electric circuit to see if current flows (that it is in fact a complete circuit). A continuity test is performed by placing a small voltage (wired in series with an LED or noise-producing component such as a piezoelectric speaker) across the chosen path. If electron flow is inhibited by broken conductors, damaged components, or excessive resistance, the circuit is "open". Devices that can be used to perform continuity tests include multi meters which measure current and specialized continuity testers which are cheaper, more basic devices, generally with a simple light bulb that lights up when current flows. An important application is the continuity test of a bundle of wires so as to find the two ends belonging to a particular one of these wires; there will be a negligible resistance between the "right" ends, and only between the "right" ends. This test is the performed just after the hardware soldering and configuration has been completed. This test aims at finding any electrical open paths in the circuit after the soldering. Many a times, the electrical continuity in the circuit is lost due to improper soldering, wrong and rough handling of the PCB, improper usage of the soldering iron, component failures and presence of bugs in the circuit diagram. We use a multi meter to perform this test. We keep the multi meter in buzzer mode and connect the ground terminal of the multi meter to the ground. We connect both the terminals across the path that needs to be checked. If there is continuation then you will hear the beep sound.
  • 95. 95 10.2 POWER ON TEST: This test is performed to check whether the voltage at different terminals is according to the requirement or not. We take a multi meter and put it in voltage mode. Remember that this test is performed without microcontroller. Firstly, we check the output of the transformer, whether we get the required 12 v AC voltage. Then we apply this voltage to the power supply circuit. Note that we do this test without microcontroller because if there is any excessive voltage, this may lead to damaging the controller. We check for the input to the voltage regulator i.e., are we getting an input of 12v and an output of 5v. This 5v output is given to the microcontrollers’ 40th pin. Hence we check for the voltage level at 40th pin. Similarly, we check for the other terminals for the required voltage. In this way we can assure that the voltage at all the terminals is as per the requirement.
  • 96. 96 11. RESULTS We have successfully send the alert to the programmed mobile number. When the piezoelectric sensor (here acting as the accident vibration sensor) sends the signal to the microcontroller, the motor driver drives motor for some time, an alert by buzzer at the place of accident, the accident alert on the LCD and finally the microcontroller sends the message to the GSM modem to send that to the preprogrammed GSM mobile number.
  • 97. 97 12. CONCLUSION  Here we are using only the accident detector part of the BLACKBOX  We can save the vehicle data by connecting a memory in it  Here for project purpose we are using the piezoelectric sensor but in practical situation there should be a strong detector.  We can use this project on practical basis  By putting the value of longitude and altitude on a smart phone we can get the accurate place of accident  Also we can use a software to directly view the place in mobile  From the GPS system we can monitor the velocity but here we are not using that part
