Door counter with 8051 (89c51,89c52) Search this website GO

microcontroller
July 27, 2019 By EG Projects

Here is a simple project for counting people, vehicles or anything passing through a certain place. Anything
when physically crosses the barrier of our embedded system DIY project will increment our counter.
The counter is bidirectional means it can count/increment if the object crosses its barrier from either left or
right direction. The basic idea behind it is that you don’t need to manually count persons, people vehicles etc
passing through certain place. 
Early counting starts through Babbage  and then
counting numbers were invented, than manually
people started count things. Now its digital era and
we count things digitally. Previously  in manually
counting their are problems. One have to stand for
hours to count people and vehicles passing through
certain area, also he can lose data if his attention
goes some where else. This project is best example
of accuracy and reducing man power on extra stuff
of counting.

pins of 16×2 lcd are connected to Port-1 of 8051(89c51 or 89c52) microcontroller. The rs (register select)
pin of 16×2 lcd is connected to Port-3 pin-5 of 8051 microcontroller. The rw (read-write) pin of lcd is
connected to Port-3 pin-7 of 8051 microcontroller. The en (enable) pin of lcd is connected to Port-3 pin-6 of
89c51 microcontroller. Rest of the connections are to make 8051(89c51 or 89c52) microcontroller
operational. Like apply 5v to vcc(pin 40) and vpp(pin 31). Ground pin 20. Connect crystal to pin 18 and 19.
11.0592 MHz crystal is used in the project.

Laser and LDR(Light dependent resistor) object, people, person, vehicle counter
FEATURED TUTORIALS
The last thing in the circuit is pin 0 of Port-2. Here all the logic is created. The laser light is continuously
falling on the ldr(light dependent resistor), short circuiting the circuit. The controller read it as ‘0’ or low. Now VHDL Tutorial 16: Design a D flip-flop using VHDL
when some one passes through the way and cuts the laser falling on the Ldr. The circuit completes and
controller reads it as ‘1’ or high. So when ever the light falling on the ldr is disturbed the controller reads it as
1 and increments the output.

The code is simple first i included the necessary header file reg<51.h> . If you are coding in keil ide for 8051 input) using VHDL
microcontroller then this library is must to be included in your source code. Then checkconditions() function
is initialized. This function is checking if the person is crossed through the path or not. Then single sbits are
defined for enable , register select and read write pins of 16×2 lcd. pcount variable is initialized for
connecting our logic circuit to Port-2 pin-0. Delay() function is generating some delay to be used where
needed. lcdcmd() fuction is sending commands to lcd. lcddata() function is sending data to lcd. lcdint() is
initializing the lcd. Then at last main function is defined.  STAY UP TO DATE

When you are all done by making circuit and burning hex code in microcontroller now its time to see the
result. Upon starting the program you will see text “DOOR COUNTER!!!” displayed on the first line of the 16×2
lcd. On second line there is nothing. Now move your finger and cut the light falling on the light dependent
resistor. You will see number displayed on the screen and ever time you cut the light the number is
incremented by one.
