Serial data received from pc and displayed on 16×2 lcd using

8051(89c51,89c52) microcontroller UART port

February 11, 2021 By EG Projects

In this post i am going to explain how to receive serial data from your pc and display it on 16×2 lcd using 89c51 microcontroller UART port.
Hardware components of the project includes  max232(TTL to RS232 level converter/shifter ),  8051(89c51,89c52) microcontroller and 16×2
lcd. On software side i am using Hyper terminal. Hyper terminal is a program through which one can transmit and receive data serially using
personal computer(PC) serial ports. Standard  PC has two serial ports, db-9 and db-25. To these serial ports we usually connect our printers,
fax machines, mouse and joy sticks.
The block diagram of data transfer between 89c51 microcontroller UART port and personal computer is shown below.

Max232 Level converter

8051 microcontroller works on TTL logic and personal computers works on rs232 logic. In order to communicate between the two modules
data must be on the same carrier logic. Hence a level shiftier like max232 is used. Which transforms data from one logic to another before
sending it to the receiver. In order to learn more about max232 transceiver, its pin out, working and power requirements please take the below
tutorial. 

Max232 Pin out and Working

8051(89c51,89c52) Microcontroller UART

89c51 microcontroller Uart is used to receive data from PC. You can also use any other 8051 series microcontroller like 89c52 microcontroller.
But first be sure it has build in UART(universal asynchronous receiver transmitter)for serial communication.

 Port-1 of our microcontroller is used as output Port. It is connected to data pins of 16×2 lcd. 

Port-3 pin# 5 is connected to rs(regester select) pin of 16×2 lcd. 

Port-3 pin# 6 is connected to en(enable) pin of 16×2 lcd. 
Port-3 pin# 7 is connected to rw(read write) pin of 16×2 lcd.

If you dont know how to interface lcd with 8051(89c51,89c52) microcontroller here are some good tutorial, just go through them.

Project Code
In the main function i first called the lcdinit() function to initialize the 16×2 lcd. All the commands used in the function  are deeply discussed in
the above tutorials. Then timer mode is set. TMOD=0x02 means Timer1,  Mode2 (8 bit auto reload) is selected. TH1=0xFD is actually timer one
high byte, giving 0xFD hexadecimal value to TH1 means setting communication baud rate between 8051 microcontroller and PC to 9600

 bps(bits per second). SCON=0x50 is actually setting our serial data bits format Total=8 Data bit with 1 start bit and 1 stop bit. TR1=1 means
run timer one. This whole phenomena with full meaning of the statements (SCON,TMOD,TH) is discussed in the below two tutorials. How to
calculate baud rate values are also discussed.

HOW TO SEND SERIAL DATA TO PC(Hyperterminal).

TIMER REGISTERS OF 8051(89c51).

while(RI==0) is checking RI(receive interrupt) flag continuously. This flag automatically becomes one when 8051(89c51,89c52) receives any
data on its RXD pin(P3^0). when RI becomes 1 it means we have one byte of data in our SBUF(serial buffer) register. So in next statement i
picked the Byte from SBUF register  and save it in character variable data. Then i made the RI flag low again to receive next byte. The Byte
which i saved in data variable is now send to display function to be displayed on the 16×2 lcd.
