Electronic code locking system is extremely useful in protecting our precious possessions and can be installed anywhere with bit of engineering in it. We are widely familiar with the Password based e-locks and might have installed in our house. But we are going for Electronic locks made by any company when you can make one by your own.

This project demonstrates you how to make a PIC microcontroller based simple digital lock and also explains the programming behind it.

WHAT YOU NEED:

  1. PIC 16F877 Microcontroller
  2. 4×3 Keypad – Key Input
  3. 16×2 LCD – Status Indicator
  4. 5V Relay – Activator

Additionally you need a POT which is used to adjust the contrast of the LCD, A transistor to drive the relay since the current obtained from a Pin of Microcontroller is very less. A diode to prevent the reverse flow of current which might damage the controller.

Electronic Code locking system using PIC 16F877 MircocontrollerDESIGN OF ELECTRONIC CODE LOCKING SYSTEM:

The design of the above Embedded Project is pretty straight forward, you need to interface a LCD to PORT B and Keypad to the PORT D of the Controller. If you are not familiar with it then i suggest you to go through this Interfacing LCD and Keypad with PIC Microcontroller. Now lets see how the system is designed to work as a Locker.

  • “*” Key – This key is meant to initialize the system, when the system is turned ON the Controller will scan only this key and pressing this key will enable you to enter the password for your locker.
  • “#” Key – When you are done with your locker , you should press this key which will turn off the system and turning off the relay as well.

The remaining keys are meant to feed the character values to the Microcontroller and in turn the Microcontroller will analyze the characters. Based on the Pre defined password in the Controller it will compare the input with it. Thereby it will recognize the correct or incorrect password input.
