AVR Project – ATmega8 Based Smart Code Lock

Here is a project for beginners using Atmel AVR ATmega8. The project uses some techniques that are very useful for designers to learn and utilize.

NOTE:

Don’t waste time finding each part running from shop to shop. Get all the parts with exact specification in a ready to use kit! Purchase ATmega8 based smart code lock KIT.

Functions of the Project.

This device can be used to code protect any electrical device (like an electronic door, lock or safe). The user must enter a correct password to gain access. The password is entered using the built in 4×4 keypad matrix. The main LCD Module is used to display messages to the user. As soon as correct password is entered the relay is activated. This is indicated by a LED which is placed near the relay. The relay remains on as long as the user wishes. You just need to press a key to deactivate the relay.

After typing four digit password you must press the "OK" button (S8). At anytime you may press the "Cancel" key (S12 )to clear the input (e.g. when you enter any incorrect digit)

The smart code lock has the feature to change the password too. For this enter a special password which is ‘0000’, as soon as the system receives this special password it switches to change password mode. Here you need to enter the old password to gain permission, then enter the new password.

The smart code lock also support power saving feature. The backlight of LCD turns off automatically when the system is idle for few seconds. The cool thing about this is that it uses PWM to control the brightness of LCD Backlight. So the dimming is very smooth and it is like those used in many mobile phones.

Making it yourself!

You can fabricate the circuit on any general purpose PCB or breadboard. The schematic and the BOM (Bill of Material is given below). To save you from lots of trouble we have made a quality PCB of the same! If you purchase the PCB, you just need to solder different components at their proper place on the PCB and you are ready to go.

Burn the HEX file (given at the end of article) to the ATmega8 MCU using any suitable programmer and plug it into the 28 PIN IC Socket.

After assembling the circuit power it on using a 12V 500ma Center Positive DC Wall adaptor (you can use one that is used for mini TVs or Game Consols or Your DSL Modem). Adjust the variable resistor RV1 (just below the LCD module, on the left side, yes the blue thing!) until the LCD Shows some text.

Firmware Source Code

The firmware source code is written in a professional was that may seems confusing to a n00b programmer. The thing is that every piece of related functions are stored in a separate source files. That means the the project is composed of several ‘C’ source file. Each C file has set of related functions (like LCD Interfacing Routines or EEPROM Access). You must use AVR Studio as a project manager and WinAVR as compiler. Both the software must be installed in your PC. In the project folder their is a file with name "code_lock.aps", this is the main AVR Studio Project file. Load it in AVR Studio. You can see the various files that are part of the project in the left hand pane as shown below. Double click any file to load in the editor. After a file has been loaded in editor you can view and change it.

AVR Studio Project

Fig.: AVR Studio Main Window

The highest level file which contains the main application logic is "code_lock.c". This file contains the main() function. The rest files are lower level files that provide service to the higher level files. If you want to customize the firmware you can easily do so by editing the file "code_lock.c", in most cases you do not have to touch the other C files.

Building the Binary from the source code.

You need to convert the high level human readable source code into machine language so that the AVR chip can execute it. The complete process of this conversion is called "Building" (yes, compilation is one of the steps of building). After build is complete you get a file called "code_lock.hex" which is placed inside a folder called "default" inside the project folder. You just need to program this hex file to the ATmega8 MCU using any suitable programmer .

AVR Studio Build Button

Fig.: AVR Studio Build Button

You can build the project using the "Build Active Configuration" button as shown above. You can also hit F7 button or Select Build from Build Menu.

The Fuse bits must be set as follows. Consult your programmer software for more info.

  • HIGH=D9
  • LOW=E1

Please note that the above is default for ATmega8, so if you purchased a new chip then you do not need to change them.

If you are new to AVR Studio and WinAVR Please read the following article carefully.

    Again an amazing job, So many things in one project to learn.
    Thank you for guiding Mr. Mandeep and publish. Really your site become richer day by day !
    yet not found the PCB in your store.
    expecting more sensors in your store like humidity, hall effect, etc.

    • By Avinash - Reply

      @Uttam Dutta

      Thanks.

      I have the humidity sensor with me but not yet cataloged in store. The reason is that unless I have a working code and tutorial, I do not sell the stuff. Unlike many who just import from Olimex or Sparkfun. Uses their images and give absolutely no info that a beginner can actually use it.

      Just filling up the catalog is very easy that way!

      Dear Sir, I have one clarification. You have code for atmega8. We want to use atmega16/32. Shall we use the atmega8 code and compile it in AS5 for atmega32? Does the hex file work without error in 16/32?

  • By Sayantan - Reply

    hey av just wanna know the eeprom you are using on the project is an internal or external one,because couldn’t find any eepromm chip on the pcb.bt the sda,scl pin-outs are there(i can see them).
    your project is well-documented,as always,u’r amazing.thnx.

    • By Avinash - Reply

      @Sayantan,

      We have brought out the I2C Port so that we can interface whole lot of addon to this boards like PORT expanders, RTCC, Temperature sensors, Accelerometers etc. We have also brought out the USART Port so that we can connect RFID Readers, GSM Modules, Humidity Sensor etc. The Idea is to use the same PCB for more projects!

  • By Mandeep Tiwary - Reply

    Hi sayantan….
    This project is running using internal eeprom. And it have also (I2C) connector.if you wish you can also connect the external eeprom.

  • By Sayantan - Reply

    ok,thnx for the rply both of u.u are talking about port expanders,can u suggest a tutorial for that,i mean the i2c routines or functions for i/o expanders.that would be a great help.thnx.

  • By rajsekhar291 - Reply

    I’ve read the eeprom.c file and eeprom.h file. From that i understood that 1st two digits are stored in ‘0001’ block and next in ‘0000’ block.
    My doubt is
    1)in systeminit() function while storing the default password
    if(ReadPassFromEEPROM()==25755)
    what is this 25755
    2)how many such (‘0000′,’0001’,’0002’……) blocks are there in Atmega32 or 16 .
    Please reply………..
    correct me if any of my conclusions are wrong
    thank you in advance… 🙂

    • By Avinash - Reply

      it is the value you get when you multiply 255 by 100 and add 255 in it. It is because hunderth and thousandth digit are stored in address 1 while tenth and unit place are stored in address 0. The value 255 corresponds to hex FF which is the blank erased value of EEPROM cells.

      Hope it helps. In Atmega32 i think 1024 (1KB) cells are available. I am not sure so see the datasheet.

  • By rajsekhar291 - Reply

    thankyou for your reply. now i understand.
    and yes it us 1024 for atmega32 and 512 for atmega16. i found this after posting the comment.
    Actually, my project is an flawless attendence system for universities with RFID technology. so i have to store the tag values of all students in eeprom.
    what do you recommend – internal memory or some external memory like a memory stick?
    thank you in advance 🙂

    hello, okay?

    First the design is very good, congratulations.
    I am new to programming, but managed to ride the
    project.
    But I can not put the correct password, it has some
    secret?

    I type the password reset to 0000, but he asks
    old password, and I can not access it.

    Can you give me this password? or has some way to get
    this password in programming?

    Sorry, but not found.

    Thanks

    Andre Giovanni

    • By Avinash - Reply

      Hello,

      The default password is 1234

      when asked old password. Please enter “1234”

      It would be nice if you can share photos and videos of the project with us.

  • By André - Reply

    hmmm, ok
    yeah, I tried 1234 and it did not work, I must be some problem with the
    I imagine the order of the keys, I’ll check. I’ll post pictures in the future,

    I am using AVR5 and i loaded all of the files that you have provided into my project. But when i click build i get two errors. They are both from the eeprom.c file.
    1. ‘EEMWE’ undeclared
    2. ‘EEWE’ undeclared
    What do you think i can do to correct this issue.

    • By fransiscus - Reply

      HI john, i want to answer your question, soryy to born late, i just found the solution, maybe when you want to rebuild the code, you change the microcontroller kind. so the master write enable and write enable command is different . im use atmega 328p and change EEWE to EEPE and then EEMWE to EEMPE. the warning then disappear and build is success. now this code can run on my atmega 328p

    Guys
    This is a great project ..Works perfectly as described. I ordered a PCB, received it day before yesterday ( fast shipping) . Completed it yesterday …Didnt work on first instance , but after thorough cheking of joints worked !!! as described . The ONLY thing is the PASSWORD is not “1234” but its “7894” as stated by someone above in French…U can change it by pressing “0000” and then adding “7894” as old password ….choose a new one then.
    Thanks Avinash for a great work !!

    Good Idea, poor concept. Here’s the problem: your keypad needing to be in the ‘unsecure’ area and your activating device (relay) are on the same board. Anyone can just open up the lid, jumper the (-) relay coil to ground, and access is granted, w/o a password.

    Electronic Locks need to have only a communication port with the keyboard and LCD in the unsecured area. This unit must then talk to a unit in a secure area to activate the ‘unlock’ signal. Otherwise, see paragraph 1.

    Hi Avinash,

    I want to implement an electronic safe lock using the Atmega32A microcontroller, 16×2 LCD panel, 4×3 numeric keypad,and a solenoid. Can the same coding be used? If not could you pls tell me what are the necessary changes.

    Thanks.

      @Niranjan,

      Sorry but we don not do anything for free, so I don’t have time tell you about changes or anything else. Sorry.

    took this Thread to a thesis project. Urgently need to describe the scheme, I would like to ask you to help me with this. example:
    “Power is supplied to the terminal PWR, through a given diode is supplied to the regulator, with him through the display goes to the power controller and the power indication.
    Transistor VT1 collected backlight is performed on the controller to perform saving mode. “

    Thanks for the project Avinash! made it work!

    Although I used correct fuses D9E1 for internal clock (1mhz) in my atmega8 I had to use 8Mhz in Makefile (I’m using WIN AVR) to make it work. Why do you think it won’t work if I use 1 Mhz in makefile?

    if this could be used for atmega16? and burn .Hex with avr studio?

    • By Avinash - Reply

      @Yudy
      No this cannot be used with ATmega16 only with ATmega8

      • By Yudy -

        why cannot to apply in atmega 16?
        but i try in proteus using atmega 16 worked

    Could you please explain the purpose of ADC, I2C and J3?
    Also, if I want to connect a GSM to the system, how can I do that?

    • By Avinash - Reply

      @Anisha,

      They are just connection points from the pins or MCU. That means they simply make available those pin of MCU on male header pins. If the user want those pin he/she can tap it fro those headers.

      • By Anisha -

        How can we interface the gsm to send us a message when a wrong password is entered? Could you mail me the program in case you have it?

    I like this project. Thanks to author Mr. Avinash. I have implemented the project with Atmega32 with AVR studio 7 with 4×4 membrance key pad and it is working but facing 02 issues

    1. Pressing any key displaying on LCD after a long time around 2 to 3 second
    2. The key sequence is not matching with my 4×4 keypad. 8 shows 0 and 4/5/6/ shows >> 1/2/3 and so on.

    Mr. Avinash – Can you guess and help.
    Thanks
