Chapter 1: INTRODUCTION
In this world Mobile Phones and the related technologies are becoming more and more
prevalent. Various technical arenas in the field of Telecommunication and Embedded Systems
are becoming omnipresent in the people. The use of cell phones has rapidly increased over the
last decade and a half Up-gradation in networking technologies has encouraged the
development and growth of very dense networks. Now-a-days the general mass prefer
communicating while on the move therefore landlines usage has been drastically reduced.
Notice boards are one of the widely used ones ranging from primary schools to major
organizations to convey messages at large. A lot of paper is been used and which is later wasted
by the organizations. This in turn leads to a lot of deforestation thus leading to global warming.
Small innovative steps in making use of technology for regular purposes would have an adverse
effect on the environment issues which we are presently concerned about. The main aim of this
paper is to design a SMS driven automatic display Board which can replace the currently used
programmable electronic display and conventional notice boards. It is proposed to design to
receive message in display toolkit which can be used from an authorized mobile phone. The
whole process can be described from the transmitter and receiver section. The BLUETOOTH
module receives a message from the authorized mobile phone and the message is extracted by
the microcontroller from the BLUETOOTH module and is displayed on the LCD TV display.
Serial to parallel communication is used for the entire process from BLUETOOTH module to
Microcontroller and from microcontroller to the LCD TV display. This proposed system in this
paper has many upcoming applications in educational institutions and organizations, crime
prevention, traffic management, railways, advertisements etc. Been user friendly, long range
and faster means of conveying information are major bolsters for this application. By using this
proposed methodology we can enhance the security system and also make awareness of the
emergency situations and avoid many dangers.
There are various kinds of Arduino boards are available depending on different
microcontrollers used, however, most common versions are Arduino Uno and Arduino Mega.
However, all Arduino boards have one thing in common: they are programed through the
Arduino IDE. If you are planning to create a project relating to digital electronics, embedded
system, robotics, or IoT, then using Arduino Uno would be the best, easy and most economical
option. It consists of a circuit board, which can be programed and a ready-made software called
Arduino IDE, which is used to write and upload the computer code to the physical board.
Arduino boards are able to read analog or digital input signals from different sensors and turn
1
it into an output such as activating a motor, turning LED on/off, connect to the cloud and many
other actions. You can control your board functions by sending a set of instructions to the
microcontroller on the board via Arduino IDE. The Arduino IDE uses a simplified version of
C++, making it easier to learn to program.
Arduino board can be powered by using the USB cable from your computer. Arduino Uno
comes with 6 analog input pins, 14 I/O digital ports that are used to connect with external
electronic circuits. Out of 14 I/O ports, 6 pins can be used for PWM output. USB port is added
on the board to develop serial communication with the computer. It is an open source platform
where anyone can modify and optimize the board based on the number of instructions and task
they want to achieve. The function of the voltage regulator is to control the voltage given to
the Arduino board and stabilize the DC voltages used by the processor and other elements. The
AVR microcontroller Atmega328 laid out on the base comes with built-in boot loader that sets
you free from using a separate burner to upload the program on the board.
1.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT USING HC-05

1.1.1 Operating environment: The objective is to be able to stand near the Arduino and
casually acquire live data. The equipment is claimed to work over 10m. I have used it over 15m
with clear line of sight. One wall of lightweight domestic construction will cut the range to
about 5m maximum, and a single layer of foil building insulation can kill it stone dead. This
last can mean that indoor to outdoor communication could be pretty risky.
1.1.2 Equipment used:
1) A standard Arduino Uno or Mega. Any 5volt Arduino should suffice.
2) An HC-05 or HC-06 Bluetooth module is used. The HC-06 operates as a slave only but is
entirely suitable for this exercise. The HC-05 can operate as a master and thus has more
commands. I don’t think there is much difference in the price, and its extra versatility may be
of value in the future.
3) A means of connection. I use a four-conductor cable to a header on a proto shield. A

breadboard lash up would suffice, or female-male leads direct into the Arduino headers. You
could solder the module directly into a proto shield. In this event, it would be wise to have a
jumper in the 5v line so that Bluetooth can be isolated while the code is uploaded. This may be
2
as simple as running 1k and 2k between Tx and ground. The picture shows an example,
Connecting Arduino with Bluetooth.
Figure 1.1 Arduino uno

Figure 1.2 HC-05 Bluetooth Module
Figure 1.3 LCD TV Display
1.1.3 The communication method and the connections required:
This is all about using the standard serial protocol using hardware, using pins D0 and D1 on
the Arduino, which are clearly marked for the purpose. Pin D0, Rx, is the receiver and therefore
connected to the Tx pin on Bluetooth. This means D1 is connected to Rx on Bluetooth. This is
not about the alternative procedure, known as “software serial” so, if in the unlikely event that
you really do have a need to use software serial for Bluetooth, read no further. The only other
connections required are the standard 5v and ground. I believe all HC-05s come with six pins.
You don’t need the other two for this exercise. And yes, the HC-05 modules are 3.3v devices
but note that the JY-MCU package level shifters on board for the power supply and is clearly
labelled for 3.6 to 6v operation. Note particularly that, while Bluetooth modules come in two
3
types, master and slave, these characteristics are entirely irrelevant to this exercise, and the
words will not be mentioned again until the appendix at the end - a section that you don’t need
to read.
1.1.4 Notes on what the Bluetooth module is about:
The Bluetooth is a separate device between Arduino and Android. To the Arduino, it is just
another serial device, indeed it is indistinguishable from the serial monitor and is used in the
same way. To the Android, it is just another Bluetooth device to be paired with, and the fact
that there is an Arduino connected to it is immaterial. What this particularly means is:
1) Arduino is not involved with the pairing. It is just providing the power and, if there was
another source of power, it needn’t be connected.
2) Consequently, a successful pairing is just between Bluetooth and Android, and does not
guarantee successful communication with the Arduino.
3) Similarly, the serial communication between Bluetooth and Arduino does not guarantee
successful communication with Android. Note that there is no way of checking communication
from Arduino to Bluetooth other than getting the signal all the way to Android.
4) All the procedure for pairing and establishing connection is done at the Android end.
Processing and storage capability that allows it to be integrated with the sensors and other
application specific devices through its GPIOs with minimal development up-front and
minimal loading during runtime. Its high degree of on-chip integration allows for minimal
external circuitry, including the front-end module, is designed to occupy minimal PCB area.
1.2 PROTEUS DESIGN SUITE

The Proteus Design Suite is a proprietary software tool suite used primarily for electronic
design automation. The software is used mainly by electronic design engineers and technicians
to create schematics and electronic prints for manufacturing printed circuit boards.
The Proteus Design Suite is a Windows application for schematic capture, simulation, and PCB
(Printed Circuit Board) layout design. It can be purchased in many configurations, depending
on the size of designs being produced and the requirements for microcontroller simulation. All
PCB Design products include an auto router and basic mixed mode SPICE simulation
capabilities.

1.2.1 Schematic Capture

Schematic capture in the Proteus Design Suite is used for both the simulation of designs and
as the design phase of a PCB layout project. It is therefore a core component and is included
with all product configurations.
1.2.2 Microcontroller Simulation

The micro-controller simulation in Proteus works by applying either a hex file or a debug file
to the microcontroller part on the schematic. It is then co-simulated along with any analog and
digital electronics connected to it. This enables its use in a broad spectrum of project
prototyping in areas such as motor control, temperature control and user interface design. It
also finds use in the general hobbyist community and, since no hardware is required, is
convenient to use as a training or teaching tool. Support is available for co-simulation of:
Microchip Technologies PIC10, PIC12, PIC16, PIC18, PIC24, dsPIC33 Microcontrollers.
Atmel AVR (and Arduino), 8051 and ARM Cortex-M3 Microcontrollers
NXP 8051, ARM7, ARM Cortex-M0 and ARM Cortex-M3 Microcontrollers.
Texas Instruments MSP430, PICCOLO DSP and ARM Cortex-M3 Microcontrollers.
Parallax Basic Stamp, Freescale HC11, 8086 Microcontrollers.
1.2.3 PCB Design

The PCB Layout module is automatically given connectivity information in the form of a net
list from the schematic capture module. It applies this information, together with the user
specified design rules and various design automation tools, to assist with error free board
design. PCB's of up to 16 copper layers can be produced with design size limited by product
configuration.

Chapter 2: IMPLEMENTATION
Mainly 3 components are required:
Arduino UNO/ nano/mini
Bluetooth module (HC-05)
LCD TV Display
The accessories are very much guessable RCA Cable and 1k , 2K Resistors, jumpers/wires.
Only these are the things we will need for this project.
Figure 2.1 Figure of Wireless LCD Notice Board
The LCD TV is connected with RCA cable with 2 resistors of 1k and 2k which is connected to
Arduino pin 7, 9 as shown in the figure now we are more than half way mark.
Now comes the Bluetooth module and which will have its Rx, Tx pin connected with Tx, Rx
pin of Arduino respectively. Battery or power adapter of 5-6V is required. So, data sent to the
Bluetooth module using mobile or any Bluetooth enabled devices through Bluetooth terminal
apps are fetched to the Arduino and in return displayed on the LCD TV.

2.1Code for Arduino

#include <TVout.h>
#include <fontALL.h>
#include "schematic.h"
#include "TVOlogo.h"
TVout TV;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
TV.begin(PAL,120,96);
TV.select_font(font6x8);
void loop() {
if(Serial.available()>0)
char str= Serial.read();
Serial.write(str);
Serial.println();
TV.write(str);

Here, for the simulation process we use Virtual Terminal and LCD 16x2 in place of HC-05
BLUETOOTH MODULE and LCD TV respectively as it is not available in the Proteus
Software.
After uploading the program to the Arduino, Run the simulation and give input to the LCD
Notice board through the Virtual Terminal’s Window.

3.3 REVIEW OF OTHER WIRELESS LCD NOTICE BOARD
3.3.1 RF Based Wireless Notice Board:
It used a short range 433.92MHz FM-TX1 (transmitter) and FM-RX1 (receiver) RF wireless
technology and MC68HC11 microcontroller to design a wireless notice board. Although the
work met the basic objectives of a Wireless Electronic Notice Board which sends and
receives messages wirelessly, it had some practical limitations. One of the limitations of work
was that transmission between the sender and the receiving module was only possible within
a 200m range in the open and 25- 30m range when there are obstacles. The range is also
affected by the type of antenna used in the receiver and transmitter system as well as the
environment inside buildings or structures, obstacles within the buildings could further
reduce the transmission range to a mere line of sight. The larger the antenna, the better the
reception was. This limitation restricts the application of the notice board to use within
buildings. The system also had the limitation of having the message entered through a
customized transmitter keypad module. Using a customized input module has certain
disadvantages; if the module were to become faulty or damaged, the entire system would be
rendered inoperable until a spare module is produced, unlike a GSM phone, which can easily
have its SIM card swapped out into another phone.
3.3.2 GSM based wireless notice board:
In recent times, GSM based design of a wireless notice board utilizing ATMEL
microcontroller (AT89C51 and AT89C52) or ARDUINO, and a GSM MODEM are very
common. In these designs, notifications are sent to the system remotely from anywhere there
is GSM network. Hence a user does not have to be in the vicinity of the transmitter to update
the message on the screen. Thus, overcoming the short range of transmission problem, but
there were no provisions for back-up power source. The design adopted in this paper also
utilizes the GSM wireless technology, but was optimized to overcome the limitations of all
the previous designs with additional features
10
3.4 CONCLUSION
As the technology is advancing every day the display board systems are moving from
Normal hand writing display to digital display. Further to Wireless display units. This paper
develops a photo type laboratory model wireless notice board system with WIFI MODULE
and BLUETOOTH connected to it, which displays the desired message of the user through
an SMS in a most populated or crowded places. This proposed system has many upcoming
applications in educational institutions and organizations, crime prevention, traffic
management, railways, advertisements etc. Been user friendly, long range and faster means
of conveying information are major bolsters for this application. By using this proposed
methodology we can enhance the security system and also make awareness of the
emergency situations and avoid many dangers.
