2.6. LED INTERFACE
LED’s are semiconductor diodes, electronic devices that permit current to flow in only one direction. The diode is formed by bringing two slightly different materials together to form a PN junction. In a PN junction, the P side contains excess positive charge ("holes") while the N side contains excess negative charge (“electrons”).
When a forward voltage is applied to the semiconducting element forming the PN junction, electrons move from
N area toward P area and holes move from P area toward N area. Near the junction, the electrons and holes combine. As this occurs, energy is released in the form of light that is emitted by the LED. The material used in the semi conducting element of an LED determines its color. LED’s are the simplest devices to test port functioning.
There are 3 LED available in our development board. General Purpose Input Output RB1,RB2 and RB3 are interfaced with LEDs via jumpers J1,J2 and J10 respectively.
Illustration 5: LEDs on board
Illustration 6:LED connection schematic

2.7. LCD INTERFACE
The display is a standard 16x2 LCD which displays 2 lines of 16 characters. Each character is 40 pixels, making it 1280 pixels overall. The display receives ASCII codes for each character at the data inputs(D0-D7).
The data is presented to the display inputs by MCU, and latched in by triggering the E(Enable) input. The
RW(Read/Write) line can be tied low(write mode),as the LCD is receiving data only. The RS(Register Select) inputs allows commands to be send to the display. RS select command/data register. The display itself contains a microcontroller, the standard chip in this type of display is Hitachi HD44780U. It must be initialized according to the data and display options required.
The module can be used in 4-bit or 8-bit mode. In our development board, we could use either 4bit or 8-bit interfaces. Shorting jumpers J11, J12, J13, J14 selects 8-bit interface & if removed selects 4-bit interface. PORTD pins are used as data/command pins while PORTC pins as RS & E pin. A trimmer potentiometer is interfaced to adjust the LCD contrast to get a better view in every angle.
Note: Jumpers J11, J12, J13 & J14 will be shorted in PCB by default. If RD0, RD1, RD2 & RD3 needs to relieved from LCD connection, user needs to manually disconnect the track lying underneath these jumpers.

2.8. PULL-UP KEY INTERFACING
The simplest input to a microcontroller is a switch or push button. This can operate with just one additional support component, a pull-up resistor. The resistors R15, R14 and R34 are pull up resistors. The input pins RC3, RC2 and RB5 reads high value when the keys are not pressed. When the key is pressed, it connect the input pin to the ground via a small value resistor. Thus input pin get logic low value. There are 3 pull up switches in the board connected to RC2, RC3 and RB5.

2.9. BUZZER INTERFACING
A buzzer or beeper is an audio signaling device, which may be mechanical, electromechanical or piezoelectric. Typical uses of buzzers and beepers include alarm devices, timers and confirmation of user input such as a mouse click or keystroke. A buzzer or beeper is a signaling device, usually electronic, typically used in automobiles household appliances such as microwave oven or game shows. It indicates a warning in the form of a continuous or intermittent buzzing or beeping sound. Here we use a ceramic-based piezoelectric sounder with a high-pitched tone.

2.10. UNIVERSAL SYNCHRONOUS AND ASYNCHRONOUS RECEIVER AND
TRANSMITER
Serial communication is the process of sending data one bit at a time sequentially over a communication channel. The Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter(USART) module is one of the two serial I/O modules. USART is also known as a Serial Communication Interface. The USART is highly flexible serial communication protocol.
The USART can be configured as a full duplex asynchronous system that can communicate with peripheral devices such as CRT terminals and personal computers, or it can be configured as a half duplex synchronous system that can communicate with peripheral devices such as A/D or D/A integrated circuits, serial
EEPROMs etc.
Note- The baud rate range for the PIC microcontroller is 300 to 115200.
The main features are:
•
Full duplex operations
•
Asynchronous or synchronous operation
•
Master or slave clocked synchronous operation

RS-232 Interfacing
RS-232 is a standard communication protocol for linking computer and its peripheral devices to allow serial data exchange. Since RS-232 communication voltage levels are different than microcontroller logic levels, it is necessary to use a RS-232 Transceiver circuit. Here we use serial driver IC MAX232 for interfacing RS-232 with microcontroller UART module. A DB9 female connector is provided to make direct connection with the serial port of a device or PC.

2.13. ZIGBEE INTERFACING
ZigBee is a wireless networking standard that is aimed at remote control and sensor applications which is suitable for operation in harsh radio environments and in isolated locations. ZigBee technology builds on IEEE standard 802.15.4. rhydoLABZ PIC18F4520 development board(mini) have pin-out compatibility for ZigBee interfacing. Communication with the ZigBee module uses a standard UART interface compatible with 3V3.

2.14. RFID INTERFACING
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is the wireless use of electromagnetic fields to transfer data, for the purposes of automatically identifying and tracking tags attached to objects. The tags contain electronically stored information. The RFID device serves the same purpose as a bar code or a magnetic strip on the back of a credit card or ATM card; it provides a unique identifier for that object. Unlike a barcode, the tag does not necessarily need to be within line of sight of the reader and may be embedded in the tracked object. RFID is one method for Automatic Identification and Data Capture(AIDC) . RFID is a method of identifying unique items using radio waves. Typical RFID systems are made up of three components: readers (interrogators), antennas and tags (transponders) that carry the data on a microchip.

2.15. ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER
The Analog-to-Digital Converter module in PIC18F4520 has eight analog inputs . The analog input charges a sample and hold capacitor . The output of the sample and hold capacitor is the input into the converter. The converter then generates a digital result of this analog level via successive approximation . The
A/D conversion of the analog input signal results in a corresponding 10-bit digital number. The A/D module has four registers. These registers are:
•
A/D Result High Register(ADRESH)
•
A/D Result Low Register(ADRESL)
•
A/D Control Register0(ADCON0)
•
A/D Control Register1(ADCON1)
Analog pin RA0 connected to a potentiometer
A potentiometer in an electrical device allows reducing the voltage level from the circuit maximum to ground, or zero level. The test input voltage for ADC is derived from a 10K potentiometer connected across the +5V power supply, and is connected to RA0/AN0 pin of PIC18F4520. Therefore, the 10-bit ADC will convert any analog voltage between 0-5V to a digital number ranging from 0-1023. The number will be displayed on the LCD. The device that performs either conversion is called an A/D or analog-to-digital converter.

2.16. ICSP CONNECTOR AND RJ-11 PINOUT
In-Circuit Serial Programming, is the ability of some programmable devices, microcontrollers and other embedded devices to be programmed while installed in a complete system. This is a Six PIN male connector used to upload/debug programs to microcontroller. Pinout of RJ-11 is same as that of ICSP , so it can be used for debugging/programming the controller.
Signals and pinout
•
Vpp - Programming mode voltage. This must be connected to the MCLR pin, or the Vpp pin of the optional ICSP port available on some large-pin count PICs. To put the PIC into programming mode, this line must be in a specified range that varies from PIC to PIC. For 5V PICs, this is always some amount above Vdd, and can be as high as 13.5V. The 3.3V only PICs like the 18F, 24H, and 33F series use a special signature to enter programming mode and Vpp is a digital signal that is either at ground or Vdd.
There is no one Vpp voltage that is within the valid Vpp range of all PICs. In fact, the minimum required
Vpp level for some PICs can damage other PICs.
•
Vdd - This is the positive power input to the PIC. Some programmers require this to be provided by the circuit (circuit must be at least partially powered up), some programmers expect to drive this line themselves and require the circuit to be off, while others can be configured either way (like the Microchip
ICD2). The Embed Inc programmers expect to drive the Vdd line themselves and require the target circuit to be off during programming.
•
Vss - Negative power input to the PIC and the zero volts reference for the remaining signals. Voltages of the other signals are implicitly with respect to Vss.
•
ICSPCLK - Clock line of the serial data interface. This line swings from GND to Vdd and is always driven by the programmer. Data is transferred on the falling edge.
•
ICSPDAT - Serial data line. The serial interface is bi-directional, so this line can be driven by either the programmer or the PIC depending on the current operation. In either case this line swings from GND to
Vdd. A bit is transferred on the falling edge of PGC.

2.17. SERVO MOTOR INTERFACING
A servomotor is a rotary actuator that allows for precise control of angular position, velocity and acceleration. It consists of a suitable motor coupled to a sensor for position feedback. Servomotors are controlled by sending an electrical pulse of variable width, or pulse width modulation (PWM), through the control wire. There is a minimum pulse, a maximum pulse and a repetition rate. Here the control line is connected to the
RE1 pin of the microcontroller. The control signal can be created by using by timers with required duty cycle .
