Project Title : Indoor Light Dimmer

Name : Ahmad Syahmi Bin Samsudin
ID : 51216112119
Microcontroller and Interfacing (BEB33204)
LO2-BO2

Part A : Proposal
a.       System operation
Indoor light dimmer is one of development of a microcontroller-based system. For this project Keil uVision 4 has been selected as the software to write and to compile the C code. The C coding will assembly in the Proteus software to test the schematic diagram of the circuit. As this project has been selected, the input and output of indoor light dimmer hardware in the system is not too complicated to interface with the main system.
The main system used in this project is the starter board, silicon labs toolstick850-B-SK MCU and the system input and output system been selected are digital I/O system, ADC system, Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technique and HV system.
Digital system I/O in this project is dimmer as input to control output (brightness LED lights). ADC system is to control transducer (variable resistor) where the transducer is an analog device. HV system applied because the whole system indoor light dimmer uses high voltage exceeding 5 volts where IC 8051 MCU can accommodate 5 volts only. PWM is an important technique in this dimmer light system for the pulse duty cycle where it can be controlled either in ascending or descending order to control the brightness or dimness of the light.
The whole system starting from the transducer as input interfacing with IC 8051 MCU. Then PWM will control the brightness of the LED light and gloom.
