Description

Project tested and working perfectly

A very simple Digital countdown timer using 8051 and 7 segment displays. A perfect project for microcontroller starters.

Author has used BCD to 7-segment decoder for driving displays. each segment has its own decoder. so there is no multiplexing included for displays. Additionally there are 2 control switches one to Start/Pause and second to Reset the timer. There is a Buzzer added to indicate timer has expired.

The code for this project is written in assembly language. Timer 0 is used for 1 second timer delay. Code is written for a hardcode 10 minutes timer. So there is a lot of scope to expand this project according to your needs. You can take this project as a reference if you want to develop more on it.

The zip file includes code, schematic and proteus simulation file incase you want to try project before building it. Complete list of files in given below:

File List information:
1. Timer.asm - Assembly code for project.
2. timer.hex - Pre-assembled hex file.
3. Digital Countdown Timer.png - Schematic/circuit diagram
4. Digital Countdown Timer.DSN - Proteus simulation file
5. timersimulation.png - Simulation screenshot

Incase you have any doubts regarding this project please make use of forum: Rickey's World forum

You will need to make changes in the source as this is a static timer. For changeable timer you will also need to add keys and provision for timer storage.

>I want to make this timer count down to 02:00 minutes what will I do?
You can get close by changing
MOV A,#09H ;SETTING FOR MINUTE to MOV A,#01H
This starts at 1.59.
Setting as 2.00 does not work as tha code cannot handle starting with zeroes.
Not that the timing is correct for a 12M crystal, not 11.0592MHz as used in the DSN file
