Stepper motor is a variable reluctance DC motor. When correct input sequence of signal is given to the motor, it starts rotation in steps. ULN2003 is high voltage, high current Darlington arrays each containing seven open collector Darlington pairs with common emitters. Here it is used as a current driving IC. This IC is required because stepper motor require more than 60mA current and since controller doesn’t work at this current rating so this IC provides high current to the stepper motor. In the circuit port P2 as output port which provide input sequence to four input pins of ULN3003 and output of ULN2003 drives the motor.

Description: The Below code will display numbers in the Two Seven Segment Displays connected to 8051.The increment will happen using Timer Interrupt. #include<reg51.h> sbit a = P1 ^ 0 ; sbit b = P1 ^ 1 ; sbit c = P1 ^ 2 ; sbit d = P1 ^ 3 ; unsigned char seg = 0 ; int e; int f; int g; int h; char arr[ 10 ] = { 0x40 , 0xF9 , 0x24 , 0x30 , 0x19 , 0x12 , 0x02 , 0xF8 , 0x00 , 0x10 }; void delay () // Function to provide time delay using Timer 1. { int i; for (i = 0 ;i < 25000 ;i ++ ); } void display() interrupt 1 // Function to display the four digit number using multiplexing on seven segment. It uses Timer 0 interrupt to display the four digits one by one after a time delay of 2.5 milli second { TL0 = 0x36 ; TH0 = 0xf6 ; P2 = 0xFF ; d = b = c = a = 0 ; seg ++ ; seg = seg % 4 ; switch (seg) { case 0 : P2 = arr[h]; d = 1 ; break ; case 1 : ...

This is a simple circuit which is used to Measure the Temperature by means of voltage levels.There are lot of temperature sensors in the market , this circuit is similar to that. Conversion factor depends on the type of thermistor (NTC) resistance used. If you want to read the temperature directly on an universal measurement device then the value of R9 must be choosed, so that the desired sensitivity is achieved (R8 must be equal with R9). The power supply voltage level is not critical; D1 zener voltage can be between 4.7 V and 8.2 V. The current consumption is about 12 mA.  

Here is the sample code to interface GPS with 8051. #include<reg51.h> #define port2 P2 sbit rs = P1 ^ 0 ; sbit rw = P1 ^ 1 ; sbit e = P1 ^ 2 ; char info[ 70 ]; char test[ 6 ] = { "$GPGGA" }; char comma_position[ 15 ]; unsigned int check = 0 ,i; unsigned char a; void receive_data (); void lcd_latitude (); void lcd_longitude (); //DELAY FUNCTION void delay ( unsigned int msec) { int i,j ; for (i = 0 ;i < msec;i ++ ) for (j = 0 ;j < 1275 ;j ++ ); } // LCD COMMAND SENDING FUNCTION void lcd_cmd ( unsigned char item) { port2 = item; rs = 0 ; rw = 0 ; e = 1 ; delay( 1 ); e = 0 ; return ; } // LCD DATA SENDING FUNCTION void lcd_data ( unsigned char item) { port2 = item; rs = 1 ; rw = 0 ; e = 1 ; delay( 1 ); e = 0 ; return ; } // LCD STRING SENDING FUNCTION void lcd_string ( unsigned char * str) { int i = 0 ; while (str[i] != '\0' ) { lcd_data(str[i]); i ++ ; delay( 10 ); } ...
