8051 Programming: Interfacing via Serial Port

Embedded System development is not an easy task. Major problem is that we do need to see value of variable of our program and information about flow of our program.
For this requirement people use In Circuit Emulator which is costly tool.
And without knowing actually what happening inside microcontroller, it is very difficult to do debugging.

Interfacing 16x1 LCD display with 8051

Now a Days, LCD or Liquid Crystal Display are very common for Displaying Alphanumeric characters.  The Working of 16 x 1 LCD is Little Bit Different then of LCD 16 x 2.
In Most of Cases 16 x1  LCD is available without Auxiliary Controller. Means as you see only HD44780 Controller at Back Side. In this section we discuss LCD 16 x 1 with no Auxiliary Controller.

8051 Programming: Interfacing LCD in 4 bit mode

Learn interfacing LCD display with 4 data line only. Generally interfacing of LCD require 8 data lines (D7 to D0) and 3 control lines (RS,RW,EN).
For that microcontroller’s 11 lines are engaged. In case of using 8051 microcontroller most of the times, we cannot effort this in commercial applications, because we require more I/O lines.

INTERRUPT PROGRAMMING IN 8051

The Microcontroller can serve several devices. The Interrupt is the method to indicate the microcontroller by sending it can interrupt signal.
After receiving an interrupt, the microcontroller interrupts whatever it is doing and serves the device. The program associated with the interrupt is called the interrupt service and routine (ISR).

KEIL DEVELOPMENT TOOLS FOR 8051: Using Keil IDE

This article will demonstrate use of KEIL IDE. In previous article we have seen installation procedure of KEIL IDE. In this article we will show creation of project in KEIL and will build it and generate HEX file. That hex file can be downloaded into target processor by either programmer or if your processor support ISP then we can download code via serial port. Let discuss this in last section of this article.
