 Acknowledgment

At this moment of accomplishment, we are presenting our work with

great pride and pleasure, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to
all those who helped us in the successful completion of our project. First
of all, we would like to thank our HOD Prof. Rupesh Dubey who
provided us with all facilities and amenities for the development of our
project. We are exceedingly grateful to our project Professor, Mr. Rajesh
B Ahirware who gave us constant guidance and support throughout this
journey of turbulence.

We also sincerely thank all other faculties of department of Electronics

and Communication for their constant support and encouragement for our
project.

We would also like to thank our parents and friends for their over
whelming and whole hearted encouragement and support without which
this would not have been successful.
 ABSTRACT
LED's are a fantastic way to illuminate any kind of sign, be it lettering or panels. LED
Dot-Matrix Displays are a common sight nowadays on streets, malls, buildings, parks
and other public places. It is a way of visual information where large LCD and other
display become too much expensive. While the display we are using in our project are
very cheap and ready to use.
The system is comprised of an 8x8 dot matrix display panel with an interface circuit
to a Arduino nano. It also comprises an executive program that runs on the Arduino
for the display control of characters, decorative pattern or messages on the display
panel. We can use these display for displaying any information or for advertise even
in bright daylight conditions can use an Indoor Advertising Display. The display
board displays any character that is through programing of Arduino, which is
interfaced using USB to a microcontroller that initializes the led driver MAX7219.
The advantage of this project is that size of the display board can be increased row
wise and column wise without making any changes in the circuitry since display
board is the repetition of a small independent module.
We can even extend its display content by making different zones and giving many
animations to display. In our project we are using matrix display foe displaying class
time table by interfacing the RTC for time keeping.
