CHAPTER .1
INTRODUCTION
In recent years, countless articles have focused on new display technologies. Typical
topics have covered: The explosion of TFT colour LCD panels with ever –increasing size
into laptops and flat-screen monitor; PDP (plasma display panels) for high-definition TV-
CRT replacement; polymer LED (PLED) or organic LED (OLED) displays for the small
colour displays in games, cell phones, and PDAs. This overview covers the origin of LEDs,
their traditional applications, and how improvements in the Technology have stimulated
new applications. A number of displays can be interfaced with control logic to display
numbers, letters, special characters and even graphics. This project will be based on the
light emitting diode (LED). LED displays come in three basic configurations, numeric
(numbers), alphanumeric (number and letters), and dot matrix forms. Numeric display
consists of 7-LED segment each LED segment is given a letter designation. The 7-
segment led displays are most frequently used to generate numbers (0-9), but they also
can be used to display hexadecimal (0-9,A,B,C,D,E,and F).The 14-segment ,16 segment
and special 4 by 7 dot matrix displays are alphanumeric, while the 5 by 7 dot matrix display
is both alphanumeric and graphic. You can display unique characters and simple graphics

CHAPTER .2
LITERATURE REVIEW
The early 1980’s marked the beginning of the technology resolution in message display
industry. The varieties of technologies that emerged over time include: cathode ray tube,
liquid crystal panels, plasma displays, and LED displays. The LED display (light emitting
diode) was one of the new technologies. LED technology has indeed made a major impact
in many markets. For example; Advertising, transportation, employee communication,
and now in multi-million naira outdoor sport arenas. A digital message display board is an
electronic screen on which patterns of alpha-numeric characters known as information is
shown. LED displays are the most common and it is also relatively cheaper than other
forms of display when compared in terms of cost of production and maintenance. LED
displays are those designed with light emitting diodes.LED display can provide you with
the ability to capture and display all types of data to include news feeds, flight information,
factory automation, train information and even real time news feeds from the internet.
However , the LED displays come in two forms : the fixed character type in which the
characters composing the message are permanently arranged with LEDS on the screen
and variable character type in which new messages can be inputted as many times as
wanted. The fixed types have a major setback in that only one message type would always
be displayed. To display an entirely new message, the LED must be rearranged which
raises concern on the cost and time needed to carry out such a task thus limiting its
practical usefulness in a dynamic society like ours. Therefore in order for such to find
practical uses, the message must be alterable as many times as wanted without touching
the LEDS. This requirement gave rise to the development of the variable LED display,
popularly known as the moving message display. These messages are scrolled just in a
single line. In this project, the message display is realised by the use of a microcontroller.
The messages are stored in the internal memory of the microcontroller in form of data
which are sent to the display board in a 7 bit pattern. These data are also used to turn
on/off LEDS on the LED board.

CHAPTER .3
OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT
PROBLEM DEFINITION
The main of the project is to improve message scrolling in a display unit by cascading
various LED display sections and increasing its influence over wide area using XBEE
module and PIC Microcontroller Unit. The project demonstrates the design and
construction of a digital display that maximizes the cascading of several 5x7 dot led matrix
. The use of Vero board or bread board is not a good option for this project because using
a Vero board will require the use of a lot of wiring which will make the construction messy
and untidy. Apart from making the work untidy, it will make the construction of the display
unit very difficult. So in order to overcome this problem 5x7 LED display is used that is
operated using PIC microcontroller and driver 74HC595.
The construction mainly consists of transmitter section and a
receiver section. The transmitter has a host system that is used for typing data needed to
be displayed .The data is transferred in the form of packet of bits through a serial port to
a level shifter MAX232 that reduces the voltage level to TTL/CMOS level which is then
received by a XBEE module that acts as a antenna of the transmitter section.
This transferred data is then received by another XBEE module which
then sends the data to PIC microcontroller for parallel transmission of data. This parallel
data at various points are received by LED driver 74HC595 that drives the led display unit
thus displaying scrolling of message/data. The use of XBee technology means that
communication is wireless and power consumption is low .
This project has a very wide scope in industries, hospitals,
Educational institutions and transport areas where an very important message or
announcement is to be made on large basis.

4.4 EXPLANATION FOR CHARACTER FORMATION
Fig. 5. 5x7LED MATRIX
The LED dot-matrix display :
The LED dot-matrix display is basically an arrangement of LEDs in a row and column formation
like the elements of a mathematical matrix, hence its name. The LEDs therefore form the dots
which characterizes its name. This pattern arrangement of LEDs is similar to the pixel dots of a
typical cathode-ray tube. Thus, any character can be formed by lighting the appropriate dot on the
display. These appropriate dots for the character are known as its display pattern. The construction
of a typical dot-matrix display is achieved by connecting LEDs between horizontal and vertical
grid lines. These grid lines are actually connection paths. This connection scheme therefore implies
that each LED of the matrix has one terminal on a row path and the other on a column path and as
a result, this connection scheme has two forms, one in which all LED cathodes are connected on
the column paths and the anodes on the row paths or vice-versa. Also,
WIRELESS LED NOTICE BOARD
Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, TIST, CUSAT

dot –matrix displays are popularly referred to by their matrix size, that is, the number of LEDs on
a row and on a column. The most popular type is the 5x7 matrix, that is, this display has 5 LED
columns with 7 LEDs on each column and 7 LED rows with 5 LEDs on each row.
The Main Controller(PIC 16F877A):-
The next block and probably the most important is the main controller. This is the unit responsible
for the co-ordination and complete operation of the whole system. It fetches the character patterns
from the memory unit and outputs them on the display at the same time sending the appropriate
logic to the column selector unit. All these operations must be done in a fraction of a second
therefore requiring the use of micro processor based controller. Employed for this design is a
microcontroller- the PIC16F877A microcontroller from MICROCHIP INC; a RISC (reduced
instruction set) processor. The microcontroller in question was chosen as result of apart from
fulfilling the basic requirements such as number of ports, speed, etc. Its simplicity in usage and
connection, direct LED drive capability of the ports and most importantly, it’s really reduced
instruction set; just 35 instructions. Each character to be displayed has a sequence which is used to
form the character in question on the display. This lighting sequence is known as the character
pattern. One basic character pattern employed in this design is the “UPPER CASE”. Other
character patterns such as lower case, bold, italics, etc can also be added. These patterns must be
stored in a non-volatile kind of memory since they represent constant data. They represent the form
each character of the message will assume on the display. The message to be displayed must also
be stored on a non-volatile memory since the message must always be available even after a power
outage. Also the actual message represent a large amount of data since information is what’s in
question, therefore a fairly large memory space is needed. The microcontroller PIC16F877 is
8Kbyte in memory capacity. With a 2Kbyte of memory space, approximately, a page of characters
can be entered. In this design, both the character patterns and the message codes are stored in the
microcontroller for faster access by the controller and space and wire connection considerations as
compared to when using separate memories for the two fields.

The Column SelectorUnit
The last block is the column selector unit. The controller forms the characters on the dot-matrix
display by activating each column sequentially and at the same time sending the appropriate data
for each column on the rows. Therefore this unit is for proper selection of appropriate column. This
selection is done at a very fast rate from one end of the display to the other. Usually, shift register
counter are used in the implementation of this unit. The output bits of the register counter must
equal the total number of columns. In the case of the 5 x 7 matrix display, a 5-bit shift register
counter is needed. The shifting of the register is fully controlled by the main controller unit which
sends the appropriate control logic.

LED WORKING THEORY:
The LED matrix used in this experiment is of size 5×7. We will learn how to display still
characters in a standard 5×7 pixel format. The figure below shows which LEDs are to be
turned on to display the English alphabet ‘A’. The 7 rows and 5 columns are controlled
through the microcontroller pins. Now, lets see in detail how it works.
Suppose, we want to display the alphabet A. We will first select the column C1 (which
means C1 is pulled low in this case), and deselect other columns by blocking their ground
paths (one way of doing that is by pulling C2 through C5 pins to logic high). Now, the first
column is active, and you need to turn on the LEDs in the rows R2 through R7 of this
column, which can be done by applying forward bias voltages to these rows. Next, select
the column C2 (and deselect all other columns), and apply forward bias to R1 and R5,
and so on. Therefore, by scanning across the column quickly (> 100 times per second),
and turning on the respective LEDs in each row of that column, the persistence of vision
comes in to play, and we perceive the display image as still.
Fig 5.Logic Levels For Displaying Alphabet ‘A’.
The table ABOVE gives the logic levels to be applied to R1 through R7 for each of the
columns in order to display the alphabet ‘A’.

4.5 COMPONENTS DESCRIPTION
RS 232
Fig.6.rs232
RS-232 is defined as the“ Interface between data terminal equipment and data
communication equipment using serial binary data exchange.” This definition defines data
terminal equipment (DTE) as the computer, while data communications equipment (DCE)
is the modem. A modem cable has pin-to-pin connections, and is designed to connect a
DTE device to a DCE device. Information being transferred between data processing
equipment and peripherals is in the form of digital data which is transmitted in a serial
mode. Serial transmission involves the sending of data one bit at a time, over a single
communications line. RS-232 cables are commonly available with either 4, 9 or 25-pin
wiring.

MAX 232
Fig 7.MAX232
The MAX232 is an integrated circuit that converts signals from an RS-232 serial port to
signals suitable for use in TTL compatible digital logic circuits. The MAX232 is a dual
driver/receiver and typically converts the RX, TX, CTS and RTS signals. The drivers
provide RS-232 voltage level outputs (approx. ± 7.5 V) from a single + 5 V supply via on-
chip charge pumps and external capacitors. This makes it useful for implementing RS-
232 in devices that otherwise do not need any voltages outside the 0 V to + 5 V range,
as power supply design does not need to be made more complicated just for driving the
RS-232 in this case.

21
The receivers reduce RS-232 inputs (which may be as high as ± 25 V), to standard
5 V TTL levels. These receivers have a typical threshold of 1.3 V, and a
typical hysteresis of 0.5 V.
When a MAX232 IC receives a TTL level to convert, it changes a TTL Logic 0 to between
+3 and +15 V, and changes TTL Logic 1 to between -3 to -15 V, and vice versa for
converting from RS232 to TTL.

PCB FABRICATION:
Printed circuit board (PCB)provides a method to connect circuits and devices
together. In addition to electrical connections, PCB provides a mechanical
structure to hold the circuits and components together. The PCB is said to be
"printed" because its conductive area is usually generated be means of a printing like
process; artwork preparation, film development, photo-chemical etching, silk screen
printing and surface finishing. Common thickness of rigid PCB is 1.6 mm, in some cases
where space is critical, 0.8 mm thick laminate is a popular choice .Depending on the
number of layers of copper clad and process, 3 basic types of PCB are listed below in
ascending order of interconnection wiring and component density.
1. Single sided PCB: conductors on only one surface of a dielectric base.
2. Double sided PCB: conductors on both sides of a dielectric base; usually
interconnected the two layers with plated-through-holes (PTHs).
3. Multi-layer: conductors on 3 or more layers separated by dielectric material and
interconnected by PT.
STEPS:
 PATTERNING (ETCHING):
The vast majority of printed circuit boards are made by bonding a layer of
copper over the entire substrate, sometimes on both sides, (creating a "blank PCB")
then removing unwanted copper after applying a temporary mask (e.g. by etching),
leaving only the desired copper traces. .
 DRILLING:
Holes, or vias, through a PCB are typically drilled with tiny drill bits made of solid
tungsten carbide. The drilling is performed by automated drilling machines with placement
controlled by a drill tape or drill file. These computer-generated files are also
WIRELESS LED NOTICE BOARD
Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, TIST, CUSAT
31
called numerically controlled drill (NCD) files or "Excellon files". The drill file describes the
location and size of each drilled hole. When very small vias are required, drilling with
mechanical bits is costly because of high rates of wear and breakage. In this case, the
vias may be evaporated by lasers. Laser-drilled vias typically have an inferior surface
finish inside the hole. These holes are called micro vias. It is also possible with controlled-
depth drilling, laser drilling, or by pre-drilling the individual sheets of the PCB before
lamination, to produce holes that connect only some of the copper layers, rather than
passing through the entire board. These holes are called blind vias when they connect an
internal copper layer to an outer layer, or Buried vias when they connect two or more
internal copper layers and no outer layers. The walls of the holes, for boards with 2 or
more layers, are plated with copper to form plated-through holes that electrically connect
the conducting layers of the PCB. For multilayer boards, those with 4 layers or more,
drilling typically produces a mear comprised of the bonding agent in the laminate system.
Before the holes can be plated through, this smear must be removed by a chemical de-
smear process, or by plasma-etch.
 EXPOSEDCONDUCTORPLATING AND COATING:
The places to which components will be mounted are typically plated because
bare copper oxidizes quickly, and therefore is not readily solderable. Traditionally, any
exposed copper was plated with solder. This solder was a tin-lead alloy, however new
solder compounds are now used to achieve compliance with the RoHS directive in the
EU, which restricts the use of lead. Other platings used are OSP (organic surface
protectant), immersion silver, immersion tin, electro less nickel with immersion gold
coating (ENIG), and direct gold. Edge connectors, placed along one edge of some
boards, are often gold plated.
 SOLDERING:
Soldering is a process in which two or more metal items are joined together
by melting and flowing through a filler metal into the joint, the filler metal having a relatively
low melting point. Soft soldering is characterized by the melting point of the
WIRELESS LED NOTICE BOARD
Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, TIST, CUSAT
32
filler metal, which is below 400°C. The filler metal used in the process is called solder. In
a soldering process, heat is applied to the parts to be joined, causing the solder to melt
and be drawn into the joint by capillary action and to bond to the materials to be joined
by wetting action. After the metal cools, the resulting joints are not as strong as the base
metal, but have adequate strength, electrical conductivity, and water-tightness for many
uses

full use of specific PIC features and using an intelligent optimizer, can generate high-
quality code easily rivaling hand-written assembler. Automatic handling of page and bank
selection frees the programmer from the trivial details of assembler code.
Compiler
PICC can be run entirely from the HI-TECH Professional Development environment†.
This environment allows you to manage all of your PIC projects. You can compile,
assemble and link your embedded application with a single step.
Optionally, the compiler may be run directly from the command line, allowing you to
compile, assemble and link using one command. This enables the compiler to be
integrated into third party development environments, such as Microchip's MPLAB IDE.
Features of the compiler include:
 ANSI C - full featured and portable
 Reliable - mature, field-proven technology
 Multiple C optimization levels
 An optimizing assembler
 Full linker, with overlaying of local variables to minimize RAM usage
 Comprehensive C library with all source code provided
 Includes support for 24-bit and 32-bit IEEE floating point and 32-bit long data types
 Mixed C and assembler programming
 Unlimited number of source files
 Listings showing generated assembler
 Compatible - integrates into the MPLAB IDE, MPLAB ICD and most 3rd-party
development tools
The PICC compiler supports all of the Microchip PIC12xx, PIC14000, PIC16xx and
PIC17xx series microcontroller.

CONLUSION
Present day in schools, colleges and in many industrial areas broadcasting of important
Notices, data and message is a manual labour work that gives lot of hardship and
workload for the people involved in reading out Notices and messages to different
sections of the institute resulting in wasting of lot of precious working time. So in order to
overcome this hardship, we have prepared a circuit that wirelessly connects different
digital LED NOTICE BOARD located at different sections to a single server location from
which the data or information to be communicated can be broadcasted. The information
to be broadcasted can edited as per the requirement at the server location and the result
will be reflected at the respective sections of an institute or an industry. The to design
easy to implement.

WIRELESS LED NOTICE BOARD Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, TIST, CUSAT 2 CHAPTER .1 INTRODUCTION In recent years, countless articles have focused on new display technologies. Typical topics have covered: The explosion of TFT colour LCD panels with ever –increasing size into laptops and flat-screen monitor; PDP (plasma display panels) for high-definition TV- CRT replacement; polymer LED (PLED) or organic LED (OLED) displays for the small colour displays in games, cell phones, and PDAs. This overview covers the origin of LEDs, their traditional applications, and how improvements in the Technology have stimulated new applications. A number of displays can be interfaced with control logic to display numbers, letters, special characters and even graphics. This project will be based on the light emitting diode (LED). LED displays come in three basic configurations, numeric (numbers), alphanumeric (number and letters), and dot matrix forms. Numeric display consists of 7-LED segment each LED segment is given a letter designation. The 7- segment led displays are most frequently used to generate numbers (0-9), but they also can be used to display hexadecimal (0-9,A,B,C,D,E,and F).The 14-segment ,16 segment and special 4 by 7 dot matrix displays are alphanumeric, while the 5 by 7 dot matrix display is both alphanumeric and graphic.

  • 5. WIRELESS LED NOTICE BOARD Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, TIST, CUSAT 5 CHAPTER .2 LITERATURE REVIEW The early 1980’s marked the beginning of the technology resolution in message display industry. The varieties of technologies that emerged over time include: cathode ray tube, liquid crystal panels, plasma displays, and LED displays. The LED display (light emitting diode) was one of the new technologies. LED technology has indeed made a major impact in many markets. For example; Advertising, transportation, employee communication, and now in multi-million naira outdoor sport arenas. A digital message display board is an electronic screen on which patterns of alpha-numeric characters known as information is shown. LED displays are the most common and it is also relatively cheaper than other forms of display when compared in terms of cost of production and maintenance. LED displays are those designed with light emitting diodes.LED display can provide you with the ability to capture and display all types of data to include news feeds, flight information, factory automation, train information and even real time news feeds from the internet. However , the LED displays come in two forms : the fixed character type in which the characters composing the message are permanently arranged with LEDS on the screen and variable character type in which new messages can be inputted as many times as wanted. The fixed types have a major setback in that only one message type would always be displayed. To display an entirely new message, the LED must be rearranged which raises concern on the cost and time needed to carry out such a task thus limiting its practical usefulness in a dynamic society like ours. Therefore in order for such to find practical uses, the message must be alterable as many times as wanted without touching the LEDS. This requirement gave rise to the development of the variable LED display, popularly known as the moving message display. These messages are scrolled just in a single line. In this project, the message display is realised by the use of a microcontroller. The messages are stored in the internal memory of the microcontroller in form of data which are sent to the display board in a 7 bit pattern. These data are also used to turn on/off LEDS on the LED board.

  • 7. WIRELESS LED NOTICE BOARD Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, TIST, CUSAT 7 CHAPTER .3 OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT PROBLEM DEFINITION The main of the project is to improve message scrolling in a display unit by cascading various LED display sections and increasing its influence over wide area using XBEE module and PIC Microcontroller Unit. The project demonstrates the design and construction of a digital display that maximizes the cascading of several 5x7 dot led matrix . The use of Vero board or bread board is not a good option for this project because using a Vero board will require the use of a lot of wiring which will make the construction messy and untidy. Apart from making the work untidy, it will make the construction of the display unit very difficult. So in order to overcome this problem 5x7 LED display is used that is operated using PIC microcontroller and driver 74HC595. The construction mainly consists of transmitter section and a receiver section. The transmitter has a host system that is used for typing data needed to be displayed .The data is transferred in the form of packet of bits through a serial port to a level shifter MAX232 that reduces the voltage level to TTL/CMOS level which is then received by a XBEE module that acts as a antenna of the transmitter section. This transferred data is then received by another XBEE module which then sends the data to PIC microcontroller for parallel transmission of data. This parallel data at various points are received by LED driver 74HC595 that drives the led display unit thus displaying scrolling of message/data. The use of XBee technology means that communication is wireless and power consumption is low . This project has a very wide scope in industries, hospitals, Educational institutions and transport areas where an very important message or announcement is to be made on large basis.

  • 15. WIRELESS LED NOTICE BOARD Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, TIST, CUSAT 15 4.4 EXPLANATION FOR CHARACTER FORMATION Fig. 5. 5x7LED MATRIX The LED dot-matrix display : The LED dot-matrix display is basically an arrangement of LEDs in a row and column formation like the elements of a mathematical matrix, hence its name. The LEDs therefore form the dots which characterizes its name. This pattern arrangement of LEDs is similar to the pixel dots of a typical cathode-ray tube. Thus, any character can be formed by lighting the appropriate dot on the display. These appropriate dots for the character are known as its display pattern. The construction of a typical dot-matrix display is achieved by connecting LEDs between horizontal and vertical grid lines. These grid lines are actually connection paths. This connection scheme therefore implies that each LED of the matrix has one terminal on a row path and the other on a column path and as a result, this connection scheme has two forms, one in which all LED cathodes are connected on the column paths and the anodes on the row paths or vice-versa. Also,
  • 16. WIRELESS LED NOTICE BOARD Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, TIST, CUSAT 16 dot –matrix displays are popularly referred to by their matrix size, that is, the number of LEDs on a row and on a column. The most popular type is the 5x7 matrix, that is, this display has 5 LED columns with 7 LEDs on each column and 7 LED rows with 5 LEDs on each row. The Main Controller(PIC 16F877A):- The next block and probably the most important is the main controller. This is the unit responsible for the co-ordination and complete operation of the whole system. It fetches the character patterns from the memory unit and outputs them on the display at the same time sending the appropriate logic to the column selector unit. All these operations must be done in a fraction of a second therefore requiring the use of micro processor based controller. Employed for this design is a microcontroller- the PIC16F877A microcontroller from MICROCHIP INC; a RISC (reduced instruction set) processor. The microcontroller in question was chosen as result of apart from fulfilling the basic requirements such as number of ports, speed, etc. Its simplicity in usage and connection, direct LED drive capability of the ports and most importantly, it’s really reduced instruction set; just 35 instructions. Each character to be displayed has a sequence which is used to form the character in question on the display. This lighting sequence is known as the character pattern. One basic character pattern employed in this design is the “UPPER CASE”. Other character patterns such as lower case, bold, italics, etc can also be added. These patterns must be stored in a non-volatile kind of memory since they represent constant data. They represent the form each character of the message will assume on the display. The message to be displayed must also be stored on a non-volatile memory since the message must always be available even after a power outage. Also the actual message represent a large amount of data since information is what’s in question, therefore a fairly large memory space is needed. The microcontroller PIC16F877 is 8Kbyte in memory capacity. With a 2Kbyte of memory space, approximately, a page of characters can be entered. In this design, both the character patterns and the message codes are stored in the microcontroller for faster access by the controller and space and wire connection considerations as compared to when using separate memories for the two fields.
  • 17. WIRELESS LED NOTICE BOARD Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, TIST, CUSAT 17 The Column SelectorUnit The last block is the column selector unit. The controller forms the characters on the dot-matrix display by activating each column sequentially and at the same time sending the appropriate data for each column on the rows. Therefore this unit is for proper selection of appropriate column. This selection is done at a very fast rate from one end of the display to the other. Usually, shift register counter are used in the implementation of this unit. The output bits of the register counter must equal the total number of columns. In the case of the 5 x 7 matrix display, a 5-bit shift register counter is needed. The shifting of the register is fully controlled by the main controller unit which sends the appropriate control logic.
  • 18. WIRELESS LED NOTICE BOARD Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, TIST, CUSAT 18 LED WORKING THEORY: The LED matrix used in this experiment is of size 5×7. We will learn how to display still characters in a standard 5×7 pixel format. The figure below shows which LEDs are to be turned on to display the English alphabet ‘A’. The 7 rows and 5 columns are controlled through the microcontroller pins. Now, lets see in detail how it works. Suppose, we want to display the alphabet A. We will first select the column C1 (which means C1 is pulled low in this case), and deselect other columns by blocking their ground paths (one way of doing that is by pulling C2 through C5 pins to logic high). Now, the first column is active, and you need to turn on the LEDs in the rows R2 through R7 of this column, which can be done by applying forward bias voltages to these rows. Next, select the column C2 (and deselect all other columns), and apply forward bias to R1 and R5, and so on. Therefore, by scanning across the column quickly (> 100 times per second), and turning on the respective LEDs in each row of that column, the persistence of vision comes in to play, and we perceive the display image as still. Fig 5.Logic Levels For Displaying Alphabet ‘A’. The table ABOVE gives the logic levels to be applied to R1 through R7 for each of the columns in order to display the alphabet ‘A’.

A modem cable has pin-to-pin connections, and is designed to connect a DTE device to a DCE device. Information being transferred between data processing equipment and peripherals is in the form of digital data which is transmitted in a serial mode. Serial transmission involves the sending of data one bit at a time, over a single communications line. RS-232 cables are commonly available with either 4, 9 or 25-pin wiring. FEATURES:  TRANSMITTED SIGNAL VOLTAGE LEVELS: Binary 0: +5 to +15 Vdc (called a “space” or “on”) Binary 1: -5 to -15 Vdc (called a “mark” or “off”)  RECEIVED SIGNAL

WIRELESS LED NOTICE BOARD Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, TIST, CUSAT 20 VOLTAGE LEVELS: Binary 0: +3 to +13 Vdc Binary 1: -3 to -13 Vdc  DATA FORMAT: Start bit: Binary 0 Data: 5, 6, 7 or 8 bits Parity: Odd, even, mark or space (not used with 8-bit data) Stop bit: Binary 1, MAX 232 Fig 7.MAX232 The MAX232 is an integrated circuit that converts signals from an RS-232 serial port to signals suitable for use in TTL compatible digital logic circuits. The MAX232 is a dual driver/receiver and typically converts the RX, TX, CTS and RTS signals. The drivers provide RS-232 voltage level outputs (approx. ± 7.5 V) from a single + 5 V supply via on- chip charge pumps and external capacitors. This makes it useful for implementing RS- 232 in devices that otherwise do not need any voltages outside the 0 V to + 5 V range, as power supply design does not need to be made more complicated just for driving the RS-232 in this case.
  • 21. WIRELESS LED NOTICE BOARD Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, TIST, CUSAT 21 The receivers reduce RS-232 inputs (which may be as high as ± 25 V), to standard 5 V TTL levels. These receivers have a typical threshold of 1.3 V, and a typical hysteresis of 0.5 V. When a MAX232 IC receives a TTL level to convert, it changes a TTL Logic 0 to between +3 and +15 V, and changes TTL Logic 1 to between -3 to -15 V, and vice versa for converting from RS232 to TTL.

  • 30. WIRELESS LED NOTICE BOARD Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, TIST, CUSAT 30 PCB FABRICATION: Printed circuit board (PCB)provides a method to connect circuits and devices together. In addition to electrical connections, PCB provides a mechanical structure to hold the circuits and components together. The PCB is said to be "printed" because its conductive area is usually generated be means of a printing like process; artwork preparation, film development, photo-chemical etching, silk screen printing and surface finishing. Common thickness of rigid PCB is 1.6 mm, in some cases where space is critical, 0.8 mm thick laminate is a popular choice .Depending on the number of layers of copper clad and process, 3 basic types of PCB are listed below in ascending order of interconnection wiring and component density. 1. Single sided PCB: conductors on only one surface of a dielectric base. 2. Double sided PCB: conductors on both sides of a dielectric base; usually interconnected the two layers with plated-through-holes (PTHs). 3. Multi-layer: conductors on 3 or more layers separated by dielectric material and interconnected by PT. STEPS:  PATTERNING (ETCHING): The vast majority of printed circuit boards are made by bonding a layer of copper over the entire substrate, sometimes on both sides, (creating a "blank PCB") then removing unwanted copper after applying a temporary mask (e.g. by etching), leaving only the desired copper traces. .  DRILLING: Holes, or vias, through a PCB are typically drilled with tiny drill bits made of solid tungsten carbide. The drilling is performed by automated drilling machines with placement controlled by a drill tape or drill file. These computer-generated files are also
  • 31. WIRELESS LED NOTICE BOARD Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, TIST, CUSAT 31 called numerically controlled drill (NCD) files or "Excellon files". The drill file describes the location and size of each drilled hole. When very small vias are required, drilling with mechanical bits is costly because of high rates of wear and breakage. In this case, the vias may be evaporated by lasers. Laser-drilled vias typically have an inferior surface finish inside the hole. These holes are called micro vias. It is also possible with controlled- depth drilling, laser drilling, or by pre-drilling the individual sheets of the PCB before lamination, to produce holes that connect only some of the copper layers, rather than passing through the entire board. These holes are called blind vias when they connect an internal copper layer to an outer layer, or Buried vias when they connect two or more internal copper layers and no outer layers. The walls of the holes, for boards with 2 or more layers, are plated with copper to form plated-through holes that electrically connect the conducting layers of the PCB. For multilayer boards, those with 4 layers or more, drilling typically produces a mear comprised of the bonding agent in the laminate system. Before the holes can be plated through, this smear must be removed by a chemical de- smear process, or by plasma-etch.  EXPOSEDCONDUCTORPLATING AND COATING: The places to which components will be mounted are typically plated because bare copper oxidizes quickly, and therefore is not readily solderable. Traditionally, any exposed copper was plated with solder. This solder was a tin-lead alloy, however new solder compounds are now used to achieve compliance with the RoHS directive in the EU, which restricts the use of lead. Other platings used are OSP (organic surface protectant), immersion silver, immersion tin, electro less nickel with immersion gold coating (ENIG), and direct gold. Edge connectors, placed along one edge of some boards, are often gold plated.  SOLDERING: Soldering is a process in which two or more metal items are joined together by melting and flowing through a filler metal into the joint, the filler metal having a relatively low melting point. Soft soldering is characterized by the melting point of the
  • 32. WIRELESS LED NOTICE BOARD Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, TIST, CUSAT 32 filler metal, which is below 400°C. The filler metal used in the process is called solder. In a soldering process, heat is applied to the parts to be joined, causing the solder to melt and be drawn into the joint by capillary action and to bond to the materials to be joined by wetting action. After the metal cools, the resulting joints are not as strong as the base metal, but have adequate strength, electrical conductivity, and water-tightness for many uses 5.2.PCB LAYOUT TRANSMITTER SECTION: Fig 14.PCB layout of transmitter section
