AT89c51 Microcontroller Password Based Lock

[krazykz]

Hello, I have to make a project using AT89c51 microcontroller with a keypad to input a passcode, then compare this passcode to the one stored in ROM of microcontroller and finally operate a lock connected with relay. Keypad is 4*3 Axis. Can someone guide me on how to interface the keypad with microcontroller and how to connect the rest of components...

I take it this is a school / college project and so we can't give you the answers, only guidance. It seems from your post you need a bit more than just guidance so I'm not sure how much we can assist.

Perhaps this should be in the homework help section to get a better audience.

Welcome to the PF.

I've moved your thread to the Homework Help forums. As jarednjames says, we do not do your schoolwork for you. What can you tell us about how you can access the IO lines on that microcontroller (uC)? What are some ways you can scan the keypad from the uC's IO lines?

The way I would approach this problem is using an a finite state machine to model different states of the system. When you press a key your FSM should change states accordingly.

First you need to read the DATA sheet to find out that ports the keypad uses and how to enable and read from it.

Next you need to decide what kind of technique you want to use to get info from the keypad. Interrupts are a good way to do this but you can also use the polling method.

The rest should be basic assembly programming.

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out about your project using the AT89c51 microcontroller. I am happy to provide some guidance on how to interface the keypad with the microcontroller and how to connect the other components.

Firstly, to interface the keypad with the microcontroller, you will need to connect the keypad to the input pins of the microcontroller. This can be done using a simple wiring connection, with the rows of the keypad connected to the output pins of the microcontroller and the columns connected to the input pins. You can refer to the datasheet of the microcontroller to determine which pins are designated for input and output.

Next, you will need to write a code in the programming language of your choice (such as C or assembly) to read the input from the keypad and compare it to the stored passcode in the ROM of the microcontroller. This can be done using a loop that reads the input from the keypad and compares it to the stored passcode. If the input matches the passcode, the microcontroller can then trigger the relay to operate the lock.

When connecting the rest of the components, such as the relay and the lock, it is important to ensure that the voltage and current requirements of the components are compatible with the microcontroller. You may need to use additional circuitry, such as transistors or voltage regulators, to ensure proper functioning of the components.

I hope this information helps guide you in your project. Best of luck!
