BASIC CONCEPT:

The fan located on the shaft of the motor will rotate due to the force of the oncoming wind,

causing it to rotate about its axis at a speed which is proportional to the speed of the wind.

Thus the greater the wind the faster the fan will rotate. By rotating it, a disc with slits in it

cuts the optical switch corresponding to the motion of the rotor, generating pulses. The

frequency of these pulses is proportionally changing with the wind speed. These pulses are then

fed to the pin 3.5 of the 8051 microcontroller which is the timer 1 pin via 74LS14 Schmitt trigger

IC. A software program is designed and loaded onto the microcontroller to count these pulses,

process them and generate corresponding values of wind speed in km/h. The 8051

microcontroller is interfaced with LCD which displays the wind speed in a digital format.

  16X2 BIT LCD:

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is very simple to interface

with the microcontroller as well as cost effective.

The most commonly used alphanumeric displays

are 1x16 (single line & 16 characters), 16X2 (double

line & 16 character per line) &4x20 (four lines &

twenty characters per line).  In our project we have used the JHD162A SERIES 16X2 LCD.

Pin connections for the LCD in this project are shown in the table below:

 Capacitors (10µF,150 pF,30pF)

EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:

PROCEDURE:

The above mentioned components and equipment were used to build the hardware of the project. The

components were soldered on the Veroboard according to the schematic. The crystal frequency was

checked after connection which was 11.592 MHz as desired.

CALCULATIONS for Wind Speed:

FORMULA:

Speed= (n x d x 3600) / (t x 1000 x 100) Km/h

Where
n = number of pulses in time t
d (cm) = length of a single optical disk slit (2 x Pi x 2.3/1000 = 0.0144 cm)
t (seconds) = time

8
If we take (d x 3600) / (t x 1000 x 100) =1 in the above Formula, and Calculate the time (t) required for it, as all
other parameters remain constant, then the number of pulses (n) in that time (t) would be the Speed measured
in Km/h.
The time Calculated comes out to be 520 Micro-Seconds, this is the time after which the number of pulses stored
in the Tl1 register are displayed on the LCD.

SOFTWARE DESIGN
 THEORY :

Software is designed to program the 8051 such that it takes the input from the optical

sensor via the Schmitt trigger IC and send it to display on LCD. The conceptual design of the

software is discussed in this section. The use of timer as a counter is explained. Also a brief

explanation of various important pins of various chips used in the project is given

below. Explanation of instructions used in the program is also given for reference.

USE OF TIMER 1 PIN (T1):

8051 has two timers, timer 0 and 1.

DESCRIPTION OF PINS:

Description of various important control pins of LCD is described below to

understand their usage in the program.

LCD:

 RS:
It is to select register. When RS = 0 command code register is selected, while when RS=1
data register is selected
 R/W:
R/W=0 when reading and 1 when writing data on the LCD
 E:
Enable pin, a high to low pulse must be sent to this pin in order for the LCD to latch in the
data present at the data pins.

 EXPLANATION OF INSTRUCTIONS:

Various instructions used in the program are explained below:

 MOV
This instruction copies a byte of source location to the destination.
 MOVC
This instruction copies the source bit to the destination bit.
 CJNE
The magnitudes of the source byte and the destination bytes are compared. If they are
not equal, it jumps to the target address.
 JNC
This instruction examines the CY flag, and if it is zero it will jump to the target address.
 JNB
This instruction monitors a given bit and if the bit is low it will jump to the target address.
 SETB
This instruction makes the indicated bit high.
 CLR
This instruction is used to clear the contents of the register indicated i.e. all bits are set to
0.
 ACALL
ACALL stands for absolute call. It calls a subroutine with a target address within 2K bytes
from the current program counter (PC).
 RET
This instruction is used to return from a subroutine previously entered by instructions
LCALL or ACALL.
 SJMP
SJMP is an Unconditional short jump. It is a 2 byte instruction. Therefore, in this jump the
target address must be within -128 to +127 bytes of the PC of the instruction after the
SJMP.
 DJNZ
In this instruction a byte is decremented, and if the result is not zero it will jump to target
address.
 ANL
ANL performs logical AND for byte variables.
 ORL
ORL performs logical OR for byte variables
