1.1 Overview of The System: GSM Based Digital Notice Board 1

GSM Based Digital Notice Board
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 OVERVIEW OF THE SYSTEM The novel idea of this project is to receive message through mobile phones and send it to Notice Board for display. This project is basically a micro controller- based design used to control remote notice board. AT89S52 is heart of this project. Here wirelessly, we use mobile phones to send the message to the gsm modem as a message sender or serially, we use the VB interface to transfer the message to the microcontroller. The mobile used here is of GSM technology. Using Attention commands (AT Commands) GSM modem operations can controlLCD. 1.2 PROJECT PLAN The main goal of the project is to create a digital notice board, which displays messages received through an SMS or through the PC. This will be achieved by using a GSM modem, which will act like a GSM cell phone with a dedicated SIM card, which will receive an SMS and transmit it to the microcontroller. The GSM modem will be configured using AT commands. The microcontroller will be programmed using Keil u-vision 3.0 and embedded C language. Only SMSs with the correct pass code will be displayed on the notice board. When a new message arrives, the old one will be deleted and the new message will be displayed. The user interface on the PC will be designed to send a message to the microcontroller which will be displayed on the digital notice board. This can be done using MS comm. Controls 6.0 and RS232 interface. A message typed in the text box will be sent to the microcontroller using the RS232 interface and MAX232 chip, which will interpret the message and display it on the digital notice board.
2. SYSTEM ANALYSIS
Department of Computer Science, Christ University
In todays world it is said that, world is shrinking day by day. It is due to the fact that people from different parts of the world are able to communicate with each other within fractions of seconds. All these advantages are possible due to the advantages in digital communication techniques. With the advent of cellular technology the use of mobile telephones are increased drastically over the years. In todays world of technological advancements communications and control is necessary in any part of the world. 2.1 EXISTING SYSTEM Currently colleges rely on putting up notices on the notice boards using paper. This is time consuming since time is needed for preparing notices and manually putting them up and there is wastage of paper. If we need to update the notice then we have to take a new printout. The existing system used in buses, trains, stock market, advertisements etc. doesnt support wireless functionality. The message to be displayed is manually entered by the person in charge and then it appears on the display. The Microprocessor reads the data that is stored in the memory and converts the message into a form understood by the LCD display LIMITATION OF EXISTING SYSTEM Not Wireless No GSM based technology Less secured Unable to Display multiple messages at the same time Only supports up to 16 characters(64 kb)
2.2 PROPOSED SYSTEM The proposed system is an LCD display notice board which displays text more than 16 characters in one frame, which can be sent to the system either by a keyboard input Department of Computer Science, Christ University
or through an SMS using a GSM modem. The text sent through the keyboard input will be sent via the main system, which will have input for the text, type of display and duration. The text received from the GSM modem will be displayed on the notice board only if it identifies the unique pass key. The GSM modem will not be used to accept phone calls or be able to read the text messages; it will only receive the message and transfer it to the microprocessor. The display options on screen will be control LCD by the main system. The screen will show the time when it is idle. BENEFITS OF PROPOSED SYSTEM Completely Wireless GSM Technology No Distance Barriers Provides Serial and Wireless Connectivity Efficiently Secured Environmental Friendly Repository of the displayed messages
2.3 LITERATURE REVIEW This project is an implementation to the idea of the wireless communication between a mobile phone and a microcontroller and serial communication of VB and a microcontroller. Currently the main work that has been done on the existing system is through serial communication to the microcontroller but not wireless. If they want to change the message, they have to go to the remote area with the laptop and change the message. The system has to be reprogrammed to display new messages. But in this new design, the systems need not be reprogrammed to display new messages because it is wireless. The user will send SMS from his phone and it will be display on the display unit which is being made up of liquid crystal display. In the new system, when new messages enter, the old messages will be deleted. 2.4 SOFTWARE TOOL USED 2.4.1 VISUAL BASIC 6.0 Visual Basic (VB) is an event driven programming language and associated development environment from Microsoft for its COM programming model. Visual Department of Computer Science, Christ University
Basic was derived from BASIC and enables the rapid application development (RAD) of graphical user interface (GUI) applications. Visual Basic allows many additional components to be added to the toolbox. The Microsoft Comm component is used to add a serial communication facility. Here we have used VB also for providing graphical user interface at PC for easy access to display system, password changing and monitoring. 2.4.2 KEIL U VISION 3.0 Keil development tools for the 8051 Microcontroller Architecture support every level of software developer from the professional applications engineer to the student just learning about embedded software development. The Keil 8051 Development Tools are designed to solve the complex problems facing embedded software developers. 2.4.3 EMBEDDED C Embedded C is used for microcontroller programming. There is a large and growing international demand for programmers with 'embedded' skills, and many desktop developers are starting to move into this important area. Because most embedded projects have severe cost constraints, they tend to use low-cost processors like the 8051 family of devices considered in this paper. 2.4.4 EXPRESS PCB Express PCB is free PCB software and is a snap to learn and use. Designing circuit boards is simple for the beginner and efficient for the professional. The board manufacturing service makes top quality two and four layer PCBs.

3.3 HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS 3.3.1 MICROCONTROLLER The AT89S52 is a low-power, high-performance CMOS 8-bit microcontroller with 8K bytes of in-system programmable Flash memory. The device is manufactured using Atmels high-density nonvolatile memory technology and is compatible with the industry-standard 80C51 instruction set and pin out. The on-chip Flash allows the program memory to be reprogrammed in-system or by a conventional nonvolatile memory programmer. By combining a versatile 8-bit CPU with in-system programmable Flash on a monolithic chip, the Atmel AT89S52 is a powerful microcontroller which provides a highly-flexible and cost-effective solution to many embedded control applications. In addition, the AT89S52 is designed with static logic for operation down to zero frequency and supports two software selectable power saving modes. The Powerdown mode saves the RAM con-tents but freezes the oscillator, disabling all other chip functions until the next interrupt or hardware reset. 8-bit Microcontroller with 8K Bytes In-System Programmable Flash AT89S52 1919D

3.3.2 GSM MODEM
Figure 3.3: GSM Modem
A GSM modem is a wireless modem that works with a GSM wireless network. 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 Department of Computer Science, Christ University
10
wireless modem sends and receives data through radio waves. Like a GSM mobile phone, a GSM modem requires a SIM card from a wireless carrier in order to operate. Generally, computers use AT commands to control modems. Reading of message from the SIM card inserted into the modem is done by sending the appropriate AT command to the modem. In addition to the standard AT commands, GSM modems support an extended set of AT commands. These extended AT commands are defined in the GSM standards. Some common basic SMS related AT Commands are shown in table below:

3.3.3 RS 232 In telecommunications, RS-232 is a standard for serial binary data signals connecting between a DTE (Data terminal equipment) and a DCE (Data Circuit-terminating Equipment). It is commonly used in computer serial ports. In RS-232, data is sent as a time-series of bits. Both synchronous and asynchronous transmissions are supported Department of Computer Science, Christ University
12
by the standard. In addition to the data circuits, the standard defines a number of control circuits used to manage the connection between the DTE and DCE. Each data or control circuit only operates in one direction thatis, signaling from a DTE to the attached DCE or the reverse. Since transmit data and receive data are separate circuits, the interface can operate in a full duplex manner, supporting concurrentdata flow in both directions. The standard does not define character framing within the datastream, or character encoding.

3.3.4 MAX 232 The MAX220MAX249 family of line drivers/receivers is intended for all EIA/TIA232E and V.28/V.24 communications interfaces, particularly applications where 12V is not available. These parts are especially useful in battery-powered systems, since their low-power shutdown mode reduces power dissipation to less than 5W
Figure 3.6: Pin Diagram MAX - 232
3.3.3 DISPLAY UNIT One of the most common devices attached to amicrocontroller is an LCD display. Here we have used 16x2 that means 2 rows and 16 characters. It is a Hitachi HD44780 compatible module, having 16 pins including 2 pins for backlight.
13
To program the LCD module, first we have to initialize the LCD by sending some control words. RS should be low and E should be high when we send control. R/W pin 0 mean write data or control to LCD and R/W pin 1 means read data from the LCD. To send a data to LCD, make RS high, R/W low, place the data in pins 7 to 14 and make pin E high and low once. To make this let us first build a circuit. We are going to write on the LCD module and not reading back. So, R/W is connected to ground directly. We need not have to input any data through, so all output pins are used in our application. Data pins of LCD are connected to data pins of the port. Strobe signal (Pin 1 of D25 connector) is given to E (Pin 6 of LCD), Select printer (Pin 17 of D25) is connected to RS (pin 4 of the LCD). Pin Configuration of LCD is shown in fig 3.5

Normalization is the process of efficiently organizing data in a database. There are two of goals the normalization process: eliminating redundant data and ensuring data dependency. Both of these are worthy goals as they reduce the amount of space a database consumes and ensures that data is logically stored. The Normal forms Normalizations are classified into three groups: First normal form (1NF), second normal form (2NF) and third normal form (3NF). The three normal forms are based on the functional dependencies among the attributes of a relation. First Normal Form (1NF) First Normal form (1NF) sets the very basic rules for an organized database: Eliminate duplicate columns from the same table. Create separate tables for each group of related data and identify each row with a unique column or set of columns (primary key). Second Normal Form (2NF) The second Normal form (2NF) further addresses the concept of removing data: Meet all the requirements of the first normal form Remove subsets of data that apply two multiple rows of a table and place them in separate tables. Create relationships between these new tables and their predecessors through the use of foreign keys. Third Normal Form (3NF) Third normal form (3Nf) goes one large step further: Meet all the requirements of the second normal form Remove column that are not dependent upon the primary key

6. TESTING
Software testing is a critical element of software quality assurance and represents the ultimate reviews of specification, design and coding. Testing presents an interesting anomaly of the software. During earlier definition and development phases, it was attempted to build software from abstract concept to a tangible implementation. A series of tests were performed for the proposed system before the system was ready for implementation. The various types of testing done on the system are: Unit Testing Integration Testing Validation Testing User Acceptance Testing System Testing
6.1 TEST STRATEGIES UNIT TESTING Unit testing emphasizes the verification effort on the smallest unit of software design i.e. a software component or module. Unit testing is a dynamic method for verification, where program is actually compiled and executed. Unit testing is performed in parallel with the coding phase. Unit testing tests units or modules not the whole software. Each view/module of the application has been tested individually. As the modules were built up testing was carried out simultaneously, tracking out each and every kind of input and checking the corresponding output until module is working correctly. The functionality of the modules was also tested as separate units. Each of the Department of Computer Science, Christ University
50
modules was tested as separate units. In each module all the functionalities were tested in isolation.
In the Serial Module Login Screen, the username and password are directly coming from database and the login is successfully performed if the username matches with the appropriate password. In case user tries login more than three times with the wrong password thenthe Forgot Password Screen appears where again the secret question comes from the database and user inputs the answer to that secret question. The corresponding answer is matched with the database and the same is correct then the password is retrieved. The user can then login again with the retrieved password. In the Serial Module Main Screen, it has been tested that the messages being sent to the display are being recorded in the database with the username, date, message time and the message content. In the Wireless Module GSM Modem,it has been tested that the modem is configured correctly with the appropriate country code, message mode and the buffer. In Wireless module Microcontroller, it has been testedthat the device is on serial or wireless mode.After confirming the same it checks for the first four characters of the message and compares with the password and even checks if the message is terminated with a period (.). If the device is set on the serial mode and a message is sent through the mobile then the message is not displayed and the display unit is left with and invalid message. In Wireless Module Display Unit, it has been tested that after the verification process done by the microcontroller and if the conditions are true the correct message is getting displayed otherwise invalid message getting displayed. In this module we even test if the message is appropriately getting displayed in both the lines if the message length is more than 16 characters and if any junk characters are getting displayed. INTEGRATION TESTING Integration testingis a systematic technique for constructing the program structure while at the same time conducting tests to uncover error associated with the interface. All modules are combined in this step. The entire program is tested as whole. Department of Computer Science, Christ University
51
VALIDATION TESTING It provides final assurances that software meets all functional, behavioral and performance requirement. Black box testing techniques are used. There are three main components Validation test criteria (no. in place of no. and char in place of char) Configuration review (to ensure the completeness of software configuration.) Alpha and Beta testing-Alpha testing is done at developers site i.e. at home and Beta testing once it is deployed USER ACCEPTANCE TESTING User acceptance testing is the key factor for the success of any system. The system under consideration was tested for users acceptance by constantly keeping in touch with the perspective system user at the time of developing and making changes wherever required. SYSTEM TESTING System testing is performed on the entire system in the context of a Functional Requirement Specification. System testing tests not only the design but also the behavior and even the believed expectations of the customer.

7. CONCLUSION
By 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 messages and with less errors and maintenance. This model can be used very efficiently in establishments like chain restaurants wherein the order and special discounts can be displayed at all branches simultaneously, in colleges wherein students and staffs can be informed simultaneously in no time. It can be set up at public transport places like railways, bus station, and airport and also at roadside for traffic control and in emergency situations, it is cost efficient system and very easy to handle. Latency involved in using of papers in displaying of notices is avoided and the information can be updated by the authorized persons. 7.1 LIMITATIONS Volatile memory used for message storage: Messages last only as long as power is on. Parallel Connectivity: Both Serial and wireless cannot function at the same time. Dependent on signal strength: Messages are not transmitted if there is weak network coverage. 7.2 FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS A commercial model can be able to display more than one message at a time.

Alphanumeric LCDs have a limitation on size as well as no of characters. These can be replaced with large LED display boards which are not only eye catching but display characters in a moving fashion one after the other.
In our project we are sending messages via GSM network and displaying on a LCD by utilizing AT commands. The same principle can be applied to control electrical appliances at a distant location.
