Conclusion

The group set out to achieve three objectives with their stopwatch project: 1) Apply principles and theories from previous microcontroller experiments, 2) Create a program demonstrating their understanding of the 8051 instruction set, and 3) Show how a basic stopwatch works through simulation. They were able to meet all objectives by leveraging knowledge gained from each prior experiment, such as delays, switches, displays, and the keypad, to develop the necessary stopwatch buttons and timing functionality. In the end, the group successfully created a simulated stopwatch program that fulfilled their original goals.

Conclusion

In making this project, the group set 3 objectives to be fulfilled,


the first one being “To be able to use the principle and the
theories discussed in the previous experiments of the course”,
the second being to perform what we have learned about the
instruction set of 8051 microcontrollers in creating a program
for a basic stopwatch, and lastly “To demonstrate how a basic
stopwatch works through Edsim51 Simulator”.

We set the first objective, specifically because we all know that,


we wouldn’t have been able to make this project without the
knowledge that we picked up from the previous experiments.
Specifically, in the first experiment the focus was to familiarize
ourselves with the Edsim51 simulator and the 8051 instruction
set. Through that experiment we were able to successfully code
using 8051 instruction, since that experiment set the foundation
regarding our knowledge about the simulator and the instruction
in general.
While in the 2nd experiment, This was when time delays were
introduced to us, and we all know how crucial the time delays
are for our project since the time delays help us achieve in
making sure that a one second interval can be observed when
counting. In the 2nd experiment, we were also taught how to
utilize the switches. Wherein we applied that knowledge learned
about the switches to make the stop/continue and reset button in
switches 0 and 1.

While in the 3rd experiment, we were taught how to utilize the


Seven Segment Display, thus making the 3 rd experiment the
most vital for us, since our main output, which are the digits :
00-:60, are displayed through the Seven Segment Display.
Honestly speaking, without the knowledge that we learned from
the 3rd experiment, we would still stick to our 1 st plan, which was
to display the digits :00-:60 through the LEDS thus outputting
the digits in binary form, and we all know that plan was far more
inferior to the final program that we have made.
While in the 4th experiment, we were taught how to utilize the
LCD. And We had the idea of utilizing as much I/O peripherals
as much as possible, that’s why through this experiment we
were able to do that and successfully output the characters
STOPWATCH in the LCD.

While in the 5th experiment, we were taught how to utilize the


Keypad. Through the knowledge learned from this experiment,
we were able to successfully implement the start button at key 0
(assigned value = 1; located at row 0 column 1). We also learned
in Experiment 5 on how to scan the keypad. Wherein through
that knowledge we were able to successfully only scan row 0
and column wherein the key is located. That’s why If the user
presses other keys on the keypad the program wont start
counting.

While in the 6th experiment, we were taught how to utilize the


motor. While we didn’t use the motor for our project, we were
still able to apply something that we have learned the 6 th
experiment. Wherein in experiment 6, we notice that the
program contains a trigger in the switches that will make the
motor rotate counterclockwise. That’s why we take advantage of
that knowledge and also made a trigger in the switches wherein
instead of making the motor rotate counterclockwise, the
switches would act as a trigger for a stop/continue counting
button and a reset button.

The group was also able fulfill the second objective which was
2. To perform what we have learned about the instruction set
of 8051 microcontrollers in creating a program for a basic
stopwatch. For this project, we used The 8051-instruction set in
composing the listed program. Through the 8051 instruction set,
the group was able to successfully achieve making the
stopwatch in the preferred simulator which was the Edsim51
Simulator.

Lastly, the group was also able to successfully fulfill the last
objective which was to demonstrate how a basic stopwatch
works through Edsim51 Simulator wherein our program using
the 8051-Instruction set has all the necessary buttons for a
stopwatch which are the start, stop/continue and the reset button.

So in conclusion, the group was able to successfully fulfill all


the objective that they have set for themselves and produce a
program for a stopwatch that can run on the EdSim51 Simulator.

Through EdSim51 Simulator there are many possible projects


that can be done just like our project, which was a stopwatch. As
long as a user learns about the 8051-Instruction set and the
imagination, there are endless of possibilities in utilizing the
Edsim51 simulator.
