This is a simple project on how to display/print your name on 16×2 lcd using 8051(89c51) microcontroller. Character lcd’s comes in many packages 16×2 , 8×1 ,16×1 ,8×2. All the lcd’s performs actually the same function, display data that we send to them. Displaying data on 16×2 lcd is not an easy task, its also not…

Controlling led brightness or fading an led using 8051(89c51,89c52) microcontroller is not an easy task. In depth knowledge of 8051 microcontroller timers and their registers is required to fade or control led brightness with 89c51 microcontroller. So in this project/tutorial i am going to teach you how to fade an led with 89c51 microcontroller? How to…

Here is a simple project on counting people, persons, vehicles or any thing passing through certain place. The place may be a gate, door, bridge or some thing else. Project could be named as object counter or visitor counter. Any thing when physically cross the barrier of our embedded system diy project will increment our counter. Counter…

Giving a proper delay like 1-Second OR 1-Minute is possible only by using internal timers of 8051(89c51,89c52) microcontroller. The 8051 series microcontrollers have two build in 16-bit timers Timer 0 & Timer 1, Some also have an extra timer Timer 3 . You can use them to generate delays, baud rate for UART for serial Communication OR trigger an event source to execute…

In this tutorial will learn how to interface ADC0804(Analog to Digital Converter) with 8051(89c51,89c52) microcontroller. 8051 microcontrollers are pretty old and don’t have a build in analog to digital converter in them unlike their new rivals(Arduino, Pic microcontroller and many more). Hence we can not directly measure any analog value (voltage, Temperature present in the…

This post is about displaying custom urdu font characters on 16×2 character lcd display with the help of 89c51 microcontroller. Previously i discussed about ‘How to display custom character on 16×2 lcd display with 8051(89c51,89c52) microcontroller?’. This tutorial is made by following the same steps enlisted in the above tutorial. The only difference is, in…

This tutorial teachs you how an alphanumeric keypad can be designed with 89c51 microcontroller, 16×2 lcd and 4×4 keypad? The main crux of the project lies in the code of the project. 4×4 keypad is just a cluster of buttons, arranged in coulomb and row orders. To use its buttons we have to write a…
