Keypad Locking System with User Defined Password

By Gurmeet Singh

In this keypad lock project I have used the AT89S52 microcontroller, one of the series of 8051 microcontroller by ATMEL corp. Here I’m using 4X4 keypad to take input from the user (to enter password) and display the corresponding results on a 16X2 LCD.
Since AT89S52 doesn’t have its own internal oscillator, thus we need to provide an external crystal of 11.0592 Mhz to make it function able. I am using a 7805 voltage regulator IC to convert 9V to desired 5V output.
In this project, I have used a normal 9V DC battery but we can also connect an AC-DC adapter for longer demonstrations. (For adapter  configuration, look for the datasheet of IC 7805 voltage regulator)
Prototype of 8051 Microcontroller based Keypad Locking System

2 LEDs(green, red) also help us to know about status of the lock.Green led lights up when the lock is open and Red led lights up when the lock is closed.I have also indicated the status of lock on the LCD itself, on its bottom right corner.Using a preset(potentiometer), can help us to adjust the contrast of the text on LCD. I have used a preset of 50K.
The default password set is “000”, but user can change this password.To change the password, press “*” on the keypad followed by pressing “#”. It will ask user for the current password, then for the new password followed by its confirmation.On confirming the password, “CHANGE SUCCESSFUL” statement will be shown else “CHANGE UNSECCESSFUL” will appear for which current password will remain authenticated. Password related things are hidden, rather they are shown by “*”. This is done to make password more protected/hidden (only known to user) in real world.
I have used three user defined header file:
< lcd.h>, < delay.h> and <keypad.h>
lcd.h handles with all user defined functions which are needed to operate a 16X2_8 bit   LCD.
delay.h includes  function like delay_msec(), which provides delay in milliseconds according to the TIMERS present in AT89S52.
keypad.h deals with the functions which is responsible for inputting values from 4X4 keypad.
·                     LCD data ports are connected to PORT 3 of AT89S52.
·                     RS, R/W and ES pins of the LCD are connected to P2^0, P2^1, P2^2 respectively.
·                     VEE pin of LCD is connected to a preset to adjust the contrast.
·                     Pins 15 & 16 of LCD are connected to VCC & GND respectively.
·                     The 8 pins of the Keypad are connected to PORT 1 of AT89S52.
·                     The GREEN LED is connected to P2^4 and RED LED to P2^3.
Peripherals that can be attached:
·                     We can use a linear actuator system to provide a mechanical locking system
·                     We can also use a magnetic system for doing the same.
·                     Using a stepper motor/servo motor controlled system in also a good idea.

 Utilities and Drawbacks of This Lock

UTILITIES OF THIS LOCK:
This keypad based system can be used for security purposes like electronic safe, keypad door lock and many more.
This can also be clubbed with some major projects to make them password operated.
DRAWBACKS:
Due to volatile (data vanishes as soon as the supply goes off) nature of the memory of AT89S52, the user defined password will remain retained until reset button is not pressed or supply to the microcontroller is given.
Once reset button is pressed or supply to the microcontroller is cut-off, default password (000) will get activated automatically and hence the user defined password will not exist anymore.
To avoid this we can use EEPROM (Electronically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory). This will help us to store the user defined password even if the supply goes off or reset button is pressed.
EEPROM is a non volatile memory which means that it will store data in itself even if it is not provided with any supply/voltage.
