8051 Microcontroller Projects

Hello everyone, hope you all are fine and having fun with your lives. Today, I am going to share 8051 Microcontroller Projects. Recently, I have shared quite a lot of tutorials on 8051 Microcontroller which are not much arranged as a whole. So, today, I thought to arrange all those tutorials and place them here so that you can get all of them quite easily. I will upload more 8051 Microcontroller Projects and I am gonna add their links in this post so stay subscribed to this post if you are interested in learning 8051 Microcontroller.

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.

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.

Basic Projects

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.

Intermediate Projects

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.

LED Blinking Project Using 8051 Microcontroller

Hello friends, hope you all are fine and having fun with your lives. In today's tutorial, we will see LED Blinking Project Using 8051 Microcontroller. I haven't yet posted any project or tutorial on 8051 Microcontroller. I have posted quite a lot of tutorials on Arduino and PIC Microcontroller, so today I thought of posting tutorials on 8051 Microcontroller. Its my first tutorial on it and I am gonna post quite a lot of tutorials on 8051 Microcontroller in coming week. So, as its our first tutorial on 8051 Microcontroller that's why its quite a simple one and as we did in Arduino we will first of all have a look at LED Blinking Project Using 8051 Microcontroller. In this project, we will design a basic circuit for 8051 Microcontroller which involves crystal oscillator etc. The basic circuit of 8051 Microcontroller is quite the same as we did for PIC Microcontroller. After that, we will attach a small LED on any of its I/O pins and then will make it blink. I have also given the Proteus Simulation along with Programming code designed in keil uvision 4 for download at the end of this post. So, let's get started with it. :)

LED Blinking Project Using 8051 Microcontroller in Proteus ISIS

  • I am gonna first design the simulation of LED Blinking Project using 8051 Microcontroller in Proteus ISIS, as you all know Proteus is my favorite simulation software.
  • After designing the simulation, we will design the programming code for 8051 Microcontroller.
  • In order to design the code we are gonna use Keil micro vision compiler and the version I have rite now is 4. So its keil micro vision 4 compiler for 8051 Microcontrollers.
  • So let's first design the Proteus Simulation for LED Blinking PRoject Using 8051 Microcontroller.
Proteus Simulation for LED Blinking Project
  • So, get these components from Proteus components library and place it in your workspace, these components are shown in below figure:
  • So, now I hope you have got all these components, now design a circuit in your Proteus software as shown in below figure:
  • Now you can see in the above image, I have used crystal oscillator of 16MHz which is used to provide frequency to 8051 Microcontroller.
  • After that we have placed a 10k resistance in path of our Reset pin.
  • LED is connected to first pin of Port 1 which is P1.0.
  • So, now let's design the programming code for 8051 Microcontroller as we are done with the Proteus Simulation.
Keil Programming Code for LED Blinking Project
  • Now as I have mentioned earlier, the compiler I have used for designing the programming code for LED Blinking Project is Keil micro vision 4.
  • So I hope you have this installed on your computer and if not then must install it as otherwise you wont be able to compile this code, but I have also placed the hex file so that you can run the simulation easily.
  • You can download them easily by clicking the Download buttons present at the end of this post.
  • So now create a new project in your keil compiler and paste the below code in your c file.
#include<reg51.h>

sbit LED = P1^0;          

void cct_init(void);
void delay(int a);


int main(void)
{
   cct_init();             
 
   while(1)
   {
       LED = 0;             
       delay(30000);      
       LED = 1;            
       delay(30000);       
   }
}

void cct_init(void)
{  
    P1 = 0x00;    
}

void delay(int a)
{
   int i;
   for(i=0;i<a;i++); 
}
  • Now let me explain this code a bit, first of all, I declare the pin1.0 as LED so that its easy to use it in our code in future.
  • After that I declared two functions. One of them is the delay function which is just adding the delay, while the second function is for initialization of Port 1 as output port.
  • While in the Main function, we have used the LED blinking code in which LED is ON and then OFF continuously and so that make it blink.
  • Now after adding the code in your Keil software, compile it and get the hex file.
  • Upload this hex file into your 8051 Microcontroller which I have used is AT89C52 and hit the RUN button.
  • If everything's goes fine then you will get results as shown in below figure:
  • Now click the below button to get the simulation and the programming code and let me know did it work for you. :)

Download Proteus Simulation & Keil Code

That's all for today, will come soon with new tutorial on 8051 Microcontroller so stay tuned and have fun. Cheers !!! :)
