Advanced Microcontroller based Mini ProjectsThe microcontroller is a small and self-contained computer on-chip that can be used to build several low-cost and less-complex projects. As the microcontroller based mini projects are of low cost and can be implemented in less period, most of the students prefer this controller-based mini-projects to improve their knowledge with innovative ideas. A Microcontroller is built internally with some special functional features and is programmed by using Embedded C language. These controller projects are implemented in different categories such as embedded electronics, robotics, electrical, and instrumentation. This article presents some microcontroller-based mini projects with or without circuit diagrams for a wide variety of applications.Microcontroller based Mini ProjectsThe list of microcontroller based mini projects is discussed below. These microcontroller based mini projects are very helpful for ECE and EEE students of engineering. Microcontroller based mini projectsPassword-Based Digital Locking System using MicrocontrollerThis project demonstrates a password-based locking system using a microcontroller. In this password-based locking system, if a wrong password is entered, then the microcontroller doesn’t allow the user to access the appliance or any other system.Digital locking systemThe power supply circuit provides the power to the whole circuit by rectifying, filtering, and regulating the mains AC supply to the circuit operating range. The microcontroller is programmed with a predefined password in the Keil software using embedded C language. A Matrix keypad and LCD are interfaced with the microcontroller for entering the password and for displaying the authentication information, respectively.Password-based digital locking systemWhen a user enters the password from the keypad, it sends that code to the microcontroller wherein the code is compared with the predefined one. If the password matches, then the LED by giving indications displays the information as “Password Matched” on the LCD, or else it shows “Password Mismatched”. This password can also be modified by changing the code of the microcontroller.This is one of the microcontroller-based mini-projects useful for third-year students, and this project can be further implemented by using RFID technology as an extension for the fourth year. Traffic Light System Controller using MicrocontrollerTraffic congestion is a major problem in cities. Due to this heavy traffic, routine commuters often get delayed for their day-to-day activities, and as a result, the productivity of the workers, their timings, and routine work schedules get affected. Particularly for the travelers and tourists traveling thus become a menace, and thus affects their activities as well. To overcome this traffic-related congestion, the implementation of a microcontroller-based mini project on the traffic signal light system controller is being discussed here. This particular system is designed to reduce the demand for vehicle use and to improve mobility and safety.Traffic light signalThe project is developed to meet the requirements of a solid-state traffic light controller by using a microcontroller as the main controlling element, and LEDs for indication purpose. The microcontroller is programmed such that the time and phrase are adjusted and displayed using a seven-segment LED display. Traffic light system controllerIn the above circuit, a seven-segment display is used as a counter display, and three LEDs are used for traffic light operation. A Microcontroller is the brain of this entire project and is used to initiate the traffic signal at the junction. This circuit makes use of a crystal oscillator for generating clock frequency pulses. The LEDs are connected to the Port zero of the microcontroller and are powered with a 5v battery supply. The seven-segment display is connected to the port2 of the microcontroller with a common anode configuration.The LEDs get automatically switched on and off by making the corresponding port pin of the microcontroller high, which is set while programming the microcontroller. At a particular instant of time, only the green light holds and the other lights remain off, and after some time, the changeover from green to red takes place succeeding the yellow LED to glow. This process continues as a cycle and the timing for changing the LEDs can be displayed with the help of a seven-segment LED display.This project can also be further implemented as a final-year project by developing a traffic light controller system in four ways of the road. These are the two simple mini projects with circuits.
