Introduction:-
• 8-bit microcontroller developed by Intel
• Built-in ROM, RAM, timers, and serial
communication
• 32 general-purpose I/O pins for
interfacing
Interfacing LED and LCD:
• LEDs indicate status updates, error
signals, and alerts
• LCDs provide detailed text and
numerical output for user interaction
• Useful for debugging and real-time

Interfacing LEDs with 8051:-
Working of LED:
• Converts electrical
energy into light
• Requires a #include <reg51.h>
current-limiting void delay() {
resistor (220Ω - int i;
1kΩ) for(i=0; i<30000; i++);
Circuit Connection: }
• LED connected to void main() {
GPIO pin of 8051 while(1) {
• GPIO pin HIGH – P1 = 0xFF; // Turn ON LEDs
LED ON, GPIO
pin LOW – LED delay();
OFF P1 = 0x00; // Turn OFF LEDs
Simple LED Blinking
Code: delay();
• Uses P1 port for }
LED control }

• Toggles ON and
OFF with a delay Dr. P. K. Parlewar
Interfacing LCDs with 8051:-
Types of LCDs #include <reg51.h>
• 16x2, 20x4, and graphical LCDs RW = 0;
#define LCD P2 E = 1;
• 16x2 LCD has 16 columns and 2 rows for character sbit RS = P3^0; delay();
display. sbit RW = P3^1; E = 0;
sbit E = P3^2;
Features and Control/Data Pins of 16x2 LCD void delay() {
}
void main() {
• Control Pins: RS (Register Select), RW (Read/Write), E int i; lcd_cmd(0x38); // Initialize
(Enable) for(i=0; i<30000; i++); LCD
• Data Pins: D0 - D7 (8-bit mode) or D4 - D7 (4-bit } lcd_cmd(0x0C); // Display
void lcd_cmd(unsigned char cmd) {
mode) LCD = cmd;
ON, Cursor OFF
lcd_cmd(0x01); // Clear
RS = 0; Display
RW = 0; lcd_data('H');
E = 1; lcd_data('e');
delay(); lcd_data('l');
E = 0; lcd_data('l');
} lcd_data('o');
void lcd_data(unsigned char data) { while(1);
LCD = data; }
RS = 1;

Application:-
• Display systems – Billboards, dashboards
• Embedded projects – IoT devices, automation
• Industrial and consumer electronics – Digital meters, smart
appliances

Conclusion:-
•LEDs and LCDs are essential for user interaction in embedded systems.
•8051 provides simple interfacing options for controlling LEDs and
displaying information on LCDs.
•Understanding these concepts is fundamental for developing real-
world embedded applications.
•Future advancements include OLED and touchscreen displays for more
interactive applications. GUIDED BY
