Objective
 The objective of the project is to design and develop a
Personal computer based load control . In this
system any person can control the electrical appliances of
his room using pc.
 Controlling the appliances means turning ON/OFF
electrical appliances by using desktop.
Introduction
 We are using an innovative idea of PC based load control. By using this project
any person can control the electrical appliances of his Control room.
 Controlling the appliances means turning ON/OFF electrical appliances by using
desktop.
 Person can set the time when the appliance will on and when it will off.
 In this system we will use four appliances as a prototype. We can set the time on
the app of particular appliance when to on and when to off.
 We are using atmega16 microcontroller to control all the devices.
 Temperature sensor is used to measure the temperature inside the Control
room. Fire sensor will sense the fire.
 All the sensor data will be send to the laptop. Laptop will display all the sensor
parameters also display the status of all the appliances.
 We can control the appliances of any room with the help of laptop.
 When we click a button on app the laptop will send an ASCII code to the
microcontroller with the help of TTL to USB converter. And then the
microcontroller will process the data and turn on/off the appliances.
Working
 Figure is showing the block diagram of whole system.
 Microcontroller used is 8-Bit AVR series Atmega16 microcontroller with
inbuilt ADC.
 Laptop is used to ON/OFF the machines.
 Temperature sensor is used to measure the temperature of Control room
and send it to the laptop.
 Fire sensor will sense the fire and GAS sensor will sense the presence of
LPG gas leakage.
 Laptop will display all the sensors parameters like reading of sensors, status
of appliances
 We can control the appliances of any room with the help of laptop.
 When we click a button on app the laptop will send an ASCII code to the
microcontroller with the help of TTL to USB converter.
 The atmega16 will process the data and decide what to do. It will control
the appliances according to command received.
 It will control the relay and Relay assembly will On/OFF the Load.

Software used:
 Programming of microcontroller in C programming language.
 AVR studio is used for compiling the code.
 DIP trace for PCB designing.

Programming Languages Considered


 All the software developed for this project will be loaded into the
memory of the ATmega16 microcontroller.
 The language must be supported by the ATmega16 compiler
 The ATmega16 compiler supports C and Assembly
 Reasons for Selection C Programming Language:
 Vast amount of online resources
 Ease of development
 Team members have experience of coding in C.
Application
 It can use in home, office, industries.
Benefits:
 This project is an automatic way to control the hotels,
Hotel room or any electrical appliances.
Disadvantage
 The electronic device may misbehave due internal
circuitry or unexpected problem.
 The SMD component of this device is sensitive to EDS.
 Device may not work due to software problem.
Future scope
 We can connect webcam for the live monitoring of the
rooms.
 We can convert it into home automation system.
 Can be use in future engineering projects.
