Communication Protocol: IC Max232


To convert the TTL/CMOS logic levels to RS232 logic levels
during serial communication of microcontrollers with PC
PC works on RS232 standards (-25 V to + 25V).
The controller operates at TTL logic level (0-5V)
The intermediate link is provided through MAX232.
It is a dual driver/receiver that includes a capacitive voltage generator
to supply RS232 voltage levels from a single 5V supply.

Serial communication:

Binary logic levels:

Future Scope

Applications:
It can be used in taking group decisions where voting is confidential.
It can be used in companies, industries, Schools, Colleges or any
Private or Government Sectors.
It can be used for different purposes not only for voting system.
Advantages:
Tampering is not possible.
Good security can be achieved by using this technology.
Process for voting would be very easy.

isadvantages:
If Micro controller is damaged, then itll be difficult to re install, program and
solder the part.
There must be scrutiny of the persons because RFID card is transferable and
there can be a chance for a person to come with other persons card.
Extreme care must be taken to protect the entire circuit/PCB from getting da

uture scope:
A timer could be included, which could automatically end the voting after specified duration of
Biometric verification of voters, so that automatically it can be insured that one person is votin
It can be made more interactive by adding sound effect (speech) to it.
EEPROM can be used to store the data permanently.
If we make more than one EVM, each to be used at all different locations and the final result is
addition of result of all, we could think of connecting them to communicate with each other an
result can be shown on one of the LCD.
Touch can be implemented in place of switches.
