Introduction:Multipurpose digital display unit is an ARM7 Lpc2148 processor based project, which provides ease of communication between administration and students in colleges. Whenever a notice is passed it can be directly displayed on the Digital notice board, without efforts like printing on a paper and then attaching it manually to the notice board. Many of the students dont have a habit of continuously check and read the notice board. But using digital notice board we can directly display it on a big LED display board, which can be easily seen and read by many students at a time. Hence most of the students can quickly come to know what is the notice and the important message is conveyed to all. The notice keeps on rolling over and over. The ARM7 controller core. Core is the key component of many successful 32 bit embedded systems. ARM cores are widely used in mobile phones handled organizers and multitude of other portable devices. Arms designers have come a long way from the first ARM1 prototype in 1985.

Objectives and Scope of work

To provide fastest medium that notifies and conveys important notices and messages, from administration to students within colleges and in bigger organizations. All with the only effort of typing and displaying.

This project can be widely used in colleges, organizations and in Government offices to notify student, employees and people. In future with more modifications such as the use of Bluetooth, use of graphics LED display, use of internet to directly display a webpage, etc.

Problem Definition:In Multipurpose Digital Display Unit we have to use a 16x96 led matrix display board that displays the message we type using a 4x4 aplhanumeric keypad. We need an ARM7 Kit interfaced with a display and a keypad, along with an SPI memory to store the message entered through the keypad. We also need temperature sensor, pressure and humidity sensor, to sense the respective parameters and a real time clock to keep running real time. These sensors are interfaced with the ARM7 processor and values of respective parameters at that time are displayed. Following block diagram shows different blocks involved in Multipurpose digital display unit.

If the on-chip PLL system or the boot-loader is used, the input clock frequency is limited to an exclusive range of 10 MHz to 25 MHz. an oscillation mode as an on-board oscillator mode of operation limits FOSC clock selection to 1 MHz to 30 MHz.

General Purpose Input/Output ports (GPIO) Every physical GPIO port is accessible via either the group of registers providing an enhanced features and accelerated port access or the legacy group of registers Accelerated GPIO functions: GPIO registers are relocated to the ARM local bus so that the fastest possible I/O timing can be achieved Mask registers allow treating sets of port bits as a group, leaving other bits unchanged All registers are byte and half-word addressable Entire port value can be written in one instruction Bit-level set and clear registers allow a single instruction set or clear of any number of bits in one port Direction control of individual bits All I/O default to inputs after reset Backward compatibility with other earlier devices is maintained with legacy registers appearing at the original addresses on the VPB bus

Methodology:We implement this project using an ARM7 processor. The processor is lpc2148, which is interfaced with 16x96 Led Matrix display, and a 4x4 matrix keypad. These are used to display and enter the message to be typed respectively. ARM7 interfaced with 8x8 led matrix display is shown in fig below 8x8 LED Matrix with SPI Interface:

The 8x8 LED matrix is the most advanced circuit on the board, at least when it comes to controlling it. Figure below illustrate the 8x8 LED matrix part of the design. Two shift registers (serial-input, parallel-output), 74HC595, are used to control the eight columns and rows respectively. 16 bits must be shifted (= 2 bytes) in order to update the two shift registers. The first byte sent controls the rows and the second byte the columns. A zero bit in the first byte will light LEDs for the corresponding row and a zero bit in the second byte will light LEDs for the corresponding column.

ARM7 displayed with 4x4 keypad to type the message to be displayed:In case of 4X4 matrix Keypad both the ends of switches are connected to the port pin i.e. four rows and four columns. So in all sixteen switches have been interfaced using just eight lines.

Fig. interfacing of 4x4 keypad with lpc2148 The Interfacing keypad with LPC2148 program is very simple and straight forward, that scan a keypad rows and columns. When the rows and columns are detected then it will display in PC through UART0.
