Now coming towards interrupt, interrupt is interrupt :P Yeah really, we call it interrupt because its an interrupt. In programming codes there are many things which needs to run in background and appear when its time for them to appear. Here where interrupt comes handy. Interrupt is kind of a background code which keeps on running in the background while the main code keeps on running in front but when the interrupt condition is fullfilled then it interrupts the main program and executes the functions defined in it. For Timer interrupts, suppose I wanna blink my LED after every 2 seconds then what will I do is I will start a timer for 2 seconds and when this timer completes I will generate an interrupt. So, in this way after every two seconds the led will blink. So, let's start with timers interrupt in 8051 Microcontroller and see how we are gonna do this.
As I explained earlier, we are gonna use Timer interrupt in 8051 Microcontroller. so, now before gong into the details, let me first throw some light on how we are gonna implement this. Timers count from 0 to 255 in 8 bit mode as in 8 bit 255 is the maximum value and when timer hits the 255 number then we say that our timer is overflowed. Now when timer overflows, then it sends us a indication using which we generate our intterupt. In timers, there are few registers in which they store their value. If we are talking about Timer0 then timer0 stores its value in TL0 register. Now suppose I want my timer to start counting from 10 instead 0 then I will store 10 in my TL0 register and it will count from 10 instead 0 and when it reaches 255 it will overflow. Now when Timer0 will overflow then it will make TF0 bit HIGH. TF0 is another register value, if its 1 then it means that our timer is full and if its 0 then it means our timer is still counting. So, that's how we count from our timer and check the pin TF0. Now first of all, I am gonna use Timer0 and then we will have a quick look at Timer1.

That's all for today, I hope you guys have got something out of today's post and gonna like this one. In the coming post, I am gonna design some simple project on 8051 Microcontroller in which I will use these Timers, then you will get know more about them. So, stay tuned and subscribe us by email. Take care !!! :)
8051 Microcontroller, as we all know, is another Microcontroller series just like PIC Microcontroller or Arduino etc. The benefit of 8051 Microcontrollers is that they are quite cheap and easily available so if you are going to design some product then its better to use 8051 Microcontroller instead of PIC Microcontroller or Arduino etc. As they are cheap so they also come with a disadvantage which is that they are not much rich with features. Few of 8051 Microcontrollers doesn't even support Serial Communication. So, before choosing it for your project, must check their datasheet to confirm that they are suitable for your projects.
In most of these below projects, I have designed the complete simulation in Proteus and the code is also given but my suggestions is don't simply download the simulation and run it. Instead design the simulation from scratch and then design your code and run the simulation on your own. Consider my codes and simulations as a guide but dont get dependent on them as then you are not gonna get anything. Anyways let's get started with 8051 Microcontroller Projects.
Below are mentioned all the 8051 Microcontrollers Projects, which I have shared on this blog. You can check these projects and can also download their simulations designed in Proteus. I have given codes for most of these projects but few are paid, which you can buy from our shop at a quite minimal rate.
These are basic projects and are best for beginner level programmers. If you are new to 8051 Microcontroller then first read these projects. These all projects contain complete codes as well as the Proteus simulation so you can quite easily test them in Proteus software and can edit the codes and learn from it.
These are Intermediate level 8051 Microcontroller Projects. If you wanna do these projects then you must first learn or atleast have a look at basic 8051 Microcontroller projects as they are using same components as we interfaced in basic level. If you feel any problem then ask in comments.
That's all for today, but I am gonna add more projects in it and will keep on updating the list. Subscribe us and get these exciting tutorials straight to your mail box.As its the first version of our XBee Library for Proteus so its not quite perfect and can't do the complex tasks such as analog inputs etc. It will just do the serial communication. This xbee module has two pins TX and RX and you can do your communication with it quite easily. We have designed this XBee Library for Proteus, after quite a lot of effort and we are quite proud that we are presenting it first time for Proteus. Other bloggers are welcome to share this library on their blogs to share the knowledge but do mention our blog post link in your post. :) You should also have a look at XBee Arduino Interfacing. So, let's get started with it.
Other bloggers are welcome to share this library and its my humble request that do mention our blog in credits. :) The GPS module, I have designed for Proteus is a simple GPS which has TX and RX pins and when you start the simulation, this module starts sending the NMEA data on its TX pin, which you can easily check using Virtual Terminal. I am gonna show you how to check it in today's post. Another important thing, obviously in Proteus Simulation we can't get the actual values of longitude,latitude etc, so in our model, I have used the dummy values for all these data. The benefit of this module is that you can easily design your code for GPS and can test it in your simulation. Plus, its design is cool as well. ;)
Note:As 8051 Microcontroller is concerned, we all know that Its a Microcontroller in which we program our code and make it work. The 8051 microcontroller, I have used in this post is AT89C51. I have also designed this project on hardware and have tested code and it works fine. The crystal oscillator I have used in this project is of 16MHz. You can also download the Proteus Simulation along with programming code and hex file designed in keil uvision 3, at the end of this post. So, now let's get started with it. You may also wanna read the below projects on 8051 Microcontroller:
#include<reg51.h>
void cct_init(void);
void delay(int);
void DisplayOn7Segment(char);
int main(void)
{
char ch = '0'; // Character to be displayed on 7seg
cct_init(); // Make all ports zero
while(1)
{
DisplayOn7Segment(ch); // Display ch on 7seg
delay(30000); // About 1 sec delay
switch(ch) // Update ch with new value to be displayed
{
case '0': ch = '1'; break;
case '1': ch = '2'; break;
case '2': ch = '3'; break;
case '3': ch = '4'; break;
case '4': ch = '5'; break;
case '5': ch = '6'; break;
case '6': ch = '7'; break;
case '7': ch = '8'; break;
case '8': ch = '9'; break;
case '9': ch = '0'; break;
default: ch = '0'; break;
}
}
}
void cct_init(void)
{
P0 = 0x00;
P1 = 0x00;
P2 = 0x00;
P3 = 0x00;
}
void delay(int a)
{
int i;
for(i=0;i<a;i++); //null statement
}
void DisplayOn7Segment(char ch) // ch can have a value from '0' to 'F' only
{
switch(ch)
{
case '0': P2 = 0x3F; break;
case '1': P2 = 0x06; break;
case '2': P2 = 0x5B; break;
case '3': P2 = 0x4F; break;
case '4': P2 = 0x66; break;
case '5': P2 = 0x6D; break;
case '6': P2 = 0x7D; break;
case '7': P2 = 0x07; break;
case '8': P2 = 0x7F; break;
case '9': P2 = 0x6F; break;
default: P2 = 0x3F; break;
}
}
That's all for today, I hope now you can quite easily interface this seven segment display with 8051 Microcontroller. In the next post, we will have a look at some new project with 8051 Microcontroller. So, till then take care and have fun !!! :)
Actually we have already understood the working of both keypad and LCD so I thought to share this small project as it will give you the practical application of both keypad and LCD. And if you are new to 8051 Microcontroller then its always better to first design a small project and then move to pro one. The Simulation file along with hex file and complete code is given at the end for download. But my suggestion is to design it by yourself as it will help you in learning. You will do mistakes but obviously it will help you in learning so make mistakes and learn with it. So, let's get started with it.

Anyways, let's come back to keypad, if you wanna read the keypad details then you should read Interfacing of keypad with Arduino in Proteus ISIS as I have mentioned all the basic details about keypad in that tutorial and I am not gonna repeat it. But as a simple recall, keypad works on matrix system like it has 4 columns and 4 rows so we will have total 8 pins through which we are gonna control these 16 buttons. So, let's get started with it.

LCD is also used almost in every Engineering Project for displaying different values. For example, if you have used the ATM machine, which you must have, then you have seen an LCD there displaying the options to select. Obviously that's quite a big LCD but still LCD. Similarly, all mobile phones are also equipped with LCDs. The LCD we are gonna use in this project is quite small and basic. It is normally known as the 16x2 LCD as it has rows and 2 columns for writing purposes. So, we are gonna interface that LCD with 8051 Microcontroller. The proteus Simulation along with hex file and the programming code in keil uvision 3 is given at the end of this post for download. If you are working with Arduino, then you should have a look at Interfacing of LCD with Arduino. The next level from LCD is Graphical LCD also known as GLCD, so if you wanna know more about that then you should read Interfacing of Arduino with GLCD. So, let's get started with it.

That's all for today, in the next post I am gonna share how to display custom characters on LCD with 8051 Microcontroller, because till now you can just display the simple characters like alphabets and numbers on it but can't display the custom characters like arrowhead etc. You should have a look at LCD Interfacing with Microcontrollers, where I have combined all tutorials related to LCD. So stay tuned and have fun.Now, today we are gonna go a little further and will have a look at Serial Communication with 8051 Microcontroller and we will also design the simulation of this project in Proteus ISIS software. 8051 Microcontroller also supports Serial port similar to Arduino and PIC Microcontroller. And the communication protocol is exactly the same as its a Serial Port. But obviously the syntax is bit different as we are not working in Arduino software or MPLAB. So let's get started with it.
