1.INTRODUCTION
The led Display System is aimed at the colleges and universities for displaying day to
day information continuously or at regular intervals during the working hours. Being
WI-FI- based system, it offers flexibility to display flash news or announcements
faster than the programmable system. WI-FI- based display system can also be used at
other public places like schools, hospitals, railway stations etc.

The Notice Board is a mode of communication in any organizations which are used to
display any notification that reach quickly to respective persons.
The traditional mode of conveying message is put up notices on the notice board, in
which lot of resources such as paper, printer ink are wasted and it also consumes more
time to make notifications.
Digital display boards are an effective mode of communication in providing
information to the people. In present scenario the digital notice boards can be used and
managed digitally with internet of things and it can be remotely controlled.
In this a display connected to a server system should continuously listen for the
incoming messages from user, process it and display it on LED screen. Message
displayed should be updated every time the user sends new information.
In School, colleges and universities to display students results, events and important
notices. In Hotels to displays welcome notices and costs of all items. In Banks to
displays special offers, new plans and various services of the bank. In Airports to
displays arrival and departure timings of planes and special attention messages. In
Railways stations to display platform numbers arrival and departure timings of trains.
And special attention messages.

Scrolling display board is a common sight today. Advertisement is going digital. The
use of led scrolling display board at big shops, shopping centers, railway station, bus
stands and educational institutes is becoming an effective mode of communication in
providing information to the people. But these off-the-shelf units are somewhat
inflexible in terms of updating the message instantly. If the user wants to change the
message it needs to be done using a computer and hence the person needs to be
present at the location of the display board. It means the message cannot be changed
from wherever or whenever. Also the display board cannot be placed anywhere
because of complex and delicate wiring.
2.OBJECTIVES

♦ Innovating The New Thing For College To Display The Daily Information
• The main purpose of our project is to display the daily classes according to
time table. This project helps to identify the subjects and subject teachers
for students.
♦ Displaying The Flash News
• Whenever there are events or workshops in the college this information
can be intimated to the students by displaying it on the led display board.
3.TOOLS/ENVIRONMENT USED

3.1.SOFTWARE

3.1.1. Arduino IDE Software:

• It is used for inserting C/C++ codes to the microcontroller.

3.1.2Codebeautify.org online Web Page:

• It is used for converting the HTML codes to String for the development of web
page.

3.2.HARDWARE

3.2.1. Arduino chipset (ESP8266):

• As Arduino.cc began developing new MCU boards based on non-AVR processors like the
ARM/SAM MCU and used in the Arduino Due, they needed to modify the Arduino IDE so that
it would be relatively easy to change the IDE to support alternate toolchains to allow Arduino
C/C++ to be compiled for these new processors.
3.2.2.5 volts DC power supply adapter:

• DC Adaptor Power Supply - 5V/2A is a external power supply unit. This is a standard DC 5
V regulated power supply which can provide up to 2 A current. These are very high quality
switching power supplies which provides a stable 5 V output voltage.
3.2.3. LED Board:

• The model name is DDI 6 P10 Red Module and weight of board is 499 g, product dimension
is 2x32x16 cm and included components are DC cable, data cable, screen size is 6 inches and
we used 2 boards of this same size and same model.
3.2.4. Connecting Wires:
• We used the jumping wires to interface the components.

Message from PC or
Mobile

Check for a new m essage

Is the sender's information Keep displaying the

is valid or not previous message

Replace old message with a

new one

Keep displaying the new

message

When the user wants to send the text message from mobile or PC he used to enter the
IP address into the browser after getting the web page type the message in that and
click on send button to display that message on board.If they wants to replace that
message with the new one so check for a new message and to verify the senders
information is valid or not if yes then replace old message with new one if no then keep
displaying the previous message and keep displaying the new message.

8.LIMITATIONS OF THE NOTICE BOARD

• There is a limitation of sending the letters of only 8 letters because of the

storage capacity of LED boards
• Internet is required for microcontroller to start the function
• Power supply is essential for this process.

8.1.IMPLEMENTATION

■ The adapter converts the AC current to DC of 5 V to the LED boards.

■ Both the adapter and microcontroller should be connected to the power
supply.
■ Then connect the DC power supply cable to the boards.
■ And interface both the LED boards with the Ribbon cable.
■ Connect the jumping wires from the microcontroller to LED boards.
■ Then connect USB cable from microcontroller to laptop or PC to upload the
codes into the microcontroller using the Arduino IDE software.
■ After inserting and uploading the codes in the serial monitor option we will
get the IP address to open the web page in the browser.
■ While sending the text message to the board connection should be provided to
the microcontroller by providing hotspot from another device.
■ After entering into the web page type the text in the text box and click on send
button.
■ Finally that text will be displayed on the LED board.
9.FUTURE APPLICATION OF THE NOTICE BOARD

• The Notice Board is a mode of communication in any organizations which are used to
display any notification that reach quickly to respective persons.

• The traditional mode of conveying message is put up notices on the notice board, in which
lot of resources such as paper, printer ink are wasted and it also consumes more time to make
notifications.

• Digital display boards are an effective mode of communication in providing information to

the people.

• In present scenario the digital notice boards can be used and managed digitally with internet
of things and it can be remotely controlled. User has to send message through mobile
application and webpage.
9.1. Advantages:
• The message to be displayed can be changed as often we need, by using pc or mobile phones
by resetting the button.
• The cable is not necessary in between transmitter and receiver
• So the receiver can be placed anywhere in the particular range from the transmitter
• A lot of interaction and information sharing is done easily.
• The information will be conveyed easily to the people.
• The cost of preparing the notice board is not so high.

9.2. Disadvantages:

• The system is network dependent. Hence network congestion can reduce the reliability of
the system.
• User can make mistake while typing the message format.
