microcontroller AT89c52 at the heart of the system. The
microcontroller is interfaced with GSM Modem via MAX232
level convertor. It is used to convert RS232 voltage levels to TTL
voltage levels and vice versa. The hardware also has a 64K
EEPROM chip AT24C64. This EEPROM is used to store the
timings and messages to be displayed. Hardware also contains a
real time clock DS1307 to maintain track of time. A 16x2
Character LCD display is attached to microcontroller for
display. Microcontroller coding will be done using Embedded C
and Kiel. PC Coding will be done using Visual Basic. Multiple
Users are authorized to update notices on the electronic notice
board by providing them password. We can use a PC with an
administrator for monitoring the system.
