INTRODUCTION

To develop a new display system in

school/colleges classrooms, which can
be manipulated from administrators
room
Deals about an advanced electronic
notice board with several receivers

PROJECT
DESCRIPTION

This project is designed with

microcontroller (PIC),16 x 2 LCD,
RS232, Buzzer, and Visual Basic

At receiver side,ie, at each classroom a

display unit is mounted

DESCRIPTION
POWER SUPPLY

The project requires regulated 5v

supply

LM7805 is used as voltage regulator

Provides supply to MAX232,PIC and

LCD

MAX 232

RS232 is an asynchronous serial

communications protocol, widely used on
computers

MAX 232 is used as a level shifter

Connected to serial port of PC

PERIPHERAL INTERFACE
CONTROLLER (PIC)

16F877 is an 8-bit microcontroller

8KB flash memory
3KB data memory
RISC machine
35 set of instructions
5 I/O ports

LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY

LCD or Liquid Crystal Display is used in this

system for display purpose

LCD used here is 16 X 2 LCD

Each class has its own display

FEATURES

It is very reliable and saves time

Can store the message in the memory

It eliminates the use of a printer

It is user friendly

GANTT CHART

ENHANCEMENTS

Can be used to cover a wider range by

the use of BLUETOOTH
Can increase the size of LCD so that it
will be more practical
Wireless communication using WI-FI
Remote controlled LCD display
Multiplexing

CONCLUSION

It eliminates the use of a printer

It is user friendly
Messages can be sent anytime
