Microcontroller
PIC16F877A is the microcontroller used in the

project. The controller has peripheral features like inbuilt ADC, required to get the signals from the sensors. Maximum clock frequency is 20MHz and hence faster than 8051. Based on RISC and Harvard architecture and hence even more faster. Embedded C is used for programming the microcontroller.

RF Transmitter and Receiver

In this project FSK modulated digital Rf
transmitters are used. The operating frequency of these modules is 433MHz These modules operate in the ISM band of frequencies and hence are license free. These modules are used with accompanying encoders and decoders.

RF - Encoder and Decoder

These are used with the RF transmitter
and receivers. HT12E is the encoder IC The decoder IC is HT12D They encode and decode binary data into a form that is used by the RF transmitter and receiver for communication.

Level Sensing (Pressure)

MPX5010 is used for level sensing It is a linear pressure sensor. When a liquid level varies, the pressure inside the tube also varies. This pressure is used for calculation of the level. The output voltage is given by 0v to 5v depending upon the pressure. Integrated sensor in a simple 3pin package. It is fabricated using micro machined piezo electric technology It is a integrated sensor and does not require any signal conditioning The supply voltage input is 5V dc. The analog output from the pressure sensor is directly connected to the ADC input.

RS232 Interface
The serial/Comm port of the computer is used

for communication with the hardware. The serial port of the computer uses RS232 standard for communication. RS232 standard voltages are not compatible with conventional TTL / CMOS circuits. Hence IC MAX232 is used for voltage conversion between RS232 port and the microcontroller. MAX232 enables full duplex communications, while doing the necessary voltage conversions.

PC Application
A PC is used as the monitoring and
controlling unit. On the PC a visual basic program will be used. VB is used because it offers an easy to use and program graphical interface. It is used to store all data and also to control voting modules.

Switching Circuit/Relay Drive

Relays are electromechanical switches that can

be controlled by ordinary digital pins. But relays require more current than that can be given by a microcontroller. Hence a relay drive is required for current amplification between the low current digital circuitry and the relays. In this project a general purpose NPN transistor is used for the relay drive. The transistor used is BC547, which is small signal general purpose transistor.

Fingerprint modules
FingKey is used as fingerprint scanner. It is connected directly to the USB port of
the computer. Fingerprint SDK is the software used to get input of the fingerprint from the scanner to the PC. It has 500 DPI(Dots per Inch) resolution.
