I. INTRODUTION

The aim of the project is inform board in primary things with any institution and organisation. But sticking
various information day to day is difficult process. A separate person is required to take care of this information board.
It takes time to reach all the authorities and increase manual power.
The wired LCD and LED display system becomes the evolution from information board. These are more
advantageous than notice board because it doesn’t need manual sticking of information and updated can be done
quickly. Also these display systems has the serious disadvantage. The cost of installation and maintenance of both
wired LCD and LED display system is quite high. As distance between the transmitter and receiver increases, the wired
connection also increases. It makes trouble to the user if any misconnection occurs. Our project deals about an
advanced Hi-tech wireless information board. The project built around the ATmega328P-PU microcontroller from
ARDUINO.
It provided information to the user deliver source using GSM module. Display is obtained on 8x8 dot matrix
display. This system reduces data loss, maintenance cost and more economical. This system will be useful in schools,
colleges, hospitals, and remote area etc. GSM is used to provide the information automatically without any wired. The
rs232 cable is used as a source of communication between Microcontroller and the GSM which is help us to deliver the
information shortly.

II. PROJECT OVERVIEW

The wired LCD and LED display system becomes the evolution from information board. These are more advantageous
than notice board because it doesn’t need manual sticking of information and updated can be done quickly. Also these
display systems has the serious disadvantage. The cost of installation and maintenance of both wired LCD and LED

display system is quite high. As distance between the transmitter and receiver increases, the wired connection also
increases. It makes trouble to the user if any misconnection occurs. Our project deals about an advanced Hi-tech
wireless information board. The project built around the ATmega328P-PU microcontroller from ARDUINO. Which
provided the information to the user deliver source using GSM module. Display is obtained on 8x8 dot matrix display.
This system reduces data loss, maintenance cost and more economical. This system will be useful in schools, colleges,
hospitals, and remote area etc. GSM is used to provide the information automatically without any wired. The RS232

III. EXISTING SYSTEM

1) Currently we rely on the conventional technique of using paper for notices. This is time consuming method.
2) This leads to wastage of paper. Renovation of the notice needs a new hardcopy.
3) All notice boards presently rely on wired electronic systems. One of the major drawbacks of this design is its
inflexibility or bulkiness. The messy wirings in these systems make it difficult to place anywhere.
4) By using UWB which is need symmentric transmitter and receiver.
5) Wireless display by using zigbee microcontroller that is used to send the data short distance only 10m and moreover
it has the disadvantage it deliver the data in horizontal only.
6) By using RF it can transfer the data in and around room.

To overcome the above limitations we will use GSM Modem which would provide Wireless medium, better reliability
and easy for sharing information over a wireless media.

IV. PROPOSED SYSTEM

A GSM modem is a wireless modem that works with GSM wireless networks. A wireless modem behaves like a dial-
up modem. The main difference between them is that a dial-up modem sends and receives data through a fixed
telephone line while a wireless modem sends and receives data through radio waves. A GSM modem can be an external
device is connected to microcontroller using wires. In GSM board having transmitter, receiver and GND connections
insert in controller board. In controller board we are assume 2 pins and common GND pins. GSM modem requires a
SIM card from a wireless carrier in order to operate. It has serial cable features to interface with personal computer .for
testing purpose installing the putty software useful for checking basic verification.
First write the program in the arduino software and load the program to the arduino board through USB cable. once
program is loaded it is enough. depends upon the program it first delete all existing message in the storage by using
AT+CMGD command it will display only upcoming message.. we are facing trouble in this project to check received
message fully or not .we are using putty software in this software direct AT command is acceptable . Serial cable
RS232 is used to interface with computer open the putty software click the serial and press ok. Directly press the AT
command example AT+CMGF=1 set the text mode .AT+CMGR=REC READ -> read the inbox message.
AT+CMGD=1 delete the first message in the inbox. ATA is used to answer the incoming call. All these command are
used to understand in putty software for testing purpose. Once basic test are verified in putty software then write the
coding in ARDUINO software and run the program and upload the board.
At the same time it capable of automatically attend the call with in the 3 rings . once voice message is received by the
receiver .in receiver side having the mike option to reply with transmitter. This is additional feature in the project. In
GSM, Using AT command to perform particular tasks. Both dial-up modems and GSM modem supports a common

sets of standard AT commands. In addition to the standard AT commands, GSM modems supports extended set of AT
commands. These extended AT commands are defined in the GSM standards. With the extended AT commands, you
can do things like.

V. EXPERIMENTAL SETUP OF WIRELESS INFORMATION DISPLAY WITH AUDIO

Fig 5.1 experimental setup of Wireless Display with Audio

In GSM board having transmitter, receiver and GND connections insert in controller board. In controller board we are
assume 2 pins and common GND pins. In this project ARDUINO software is installed once coding is written in
software run the program and uploaded in the board. Program should have source file (Max Matrix) and Header File
(Max Matrix, Program space). Another advantage in this board is once program is uploaded it’s enough no need to
upload every time.

It has been discussed that above kit is the hardware part in which a message is send through a mobile. It is then display
with a beep sound and the same message is displayed in another circuit via a zigbee modem which interface the two
circuits. When the new message is send to sim through the mobile, erasing the previous message.

VII. CONCLUSION

.This project is useful in schools, college, hospitals, railway and many industrial etc. It is convey the message to
subordinate people. Information board is primary thing in any institution and organisation. But sticking various
information day to day is difficult process. A separate person is required to take care of this information board. It takes
time to reach all the authorities and increase manual power. This project is introducing the concept of wireless
technology in the field of communication we can make our communication more efficient and faster with greater
efficiency we can display the message and with less errors and maintenance. With the help of this system we can
transfer our information to any place within GSM range, so as to reach our information in wireless manner without any
interference there by getting very high efficiency.
