Electronic lock using pic microcontroller and keypad. In this
article, you will learn how to design electronic lock using
pic16f877a microcontroller based embedded system? What
are its applications? How to write its program? How to use it in
any project? It is very useful for mechatronics engineering
students.

ELECTRONIC LOCK?
This project used a password to open any lock. It can be used
to make any device password protected. For example, speed
control of a dc motor, home automation system, automatic
doors, and Measurements systems can be made password
protected, the electronic bell of school can also be made

video, pictures, code and

schematics. Please

password protected using the electronic lock. So you can use

microcontroller based electronic lock to make any device
password protected. While working on microcontrollers based
embedded system project, you may come across situation
where you want an electronic device to protect from random
users inputs. In such situation, you can use electronics lock. You
must be wondering what is microcontroller based embedded
system? Actually two types of embedded systems are used
now a days; microcontroller based embedded systems and
Linux-based embedded systems. But the explanation of these
topics is beyond the scope of this article. I will try to write
aseparate article on it.

WORKING OF ELECTRONIC LOCK

circuit diagram of electronics lock is shown below. Electronic
lock takes inputs from the user with the help of 4X4 keypad.
PIC16F877A microcontroller reads these inputs and compared
it with a already stored password. Default password 1234 is
stored in EEPROM of PIC microcontroller. After taking inputs

from a user, these inputs are stored in array. After that

microcontroller compares these arrays values with already
stored valued of a default password. If both the values are
equal microcontroller opens the electronic lock. Liquid crystal
display is interfaced with PIC16F877A. LCD is used to display
the status of password protected secured system. If user input
password is equal to EEPROM stored password. Status of
access has been granted Displayed on LCD. PIC provides
instructions to LCD about what to display and what not to
display. Use of LCD is optional. It is not necessary to use it. You

can use a light emitting diode to display status of electronic

lock. For example LED remains off when lock is closed and LED
remains on when lock is open. So its up to you whatever you
want to use. For example in home devices control system
project, you can use password to provide access to control of
devices to only specific persons.

Followings are the list of components used in while its

designing.

PIC16F877A controller: It is main part of this project. You

can say it is heart of this system. Because it controls all the
functions. It takes inputs from user with the help of keypad.
It compares the already stored password in EEPROM with
entered inputs. It also provides instructions to LCD to
display status. So to design such system you should have
knowledge of microcontrollers. If you dont know, I
recommend you to check this article: Getting started with
PIC microcontrollers
Liquid crystal display: It displays the status of password
secured system. It also shows either access has been
granted or not. I have already explained above how LCD is
being controlled. If you dont know how to use LCD, you
can read this article: LCD interfacing with PIC16877A
43 Keypad: It consists of 12 push buttons. It has four rows
and three columns. Specific number is given to each
button. Microcontroller doesnt know which button has
assigned which value. So we have to tell controller through
programming about which value is assigned to which
button. There are many types of keypads available in
market. You can use anyone according to your requirement.
To know more about it and its use, I suggest you to read
this article: Keypad interfacing with PIC16F877A
Crystal oscillator: Eight mega hertz crystal oscillator is
used in this project. Two 22pF capacitors are connected
with it. Crystal oscillator decides the operating frequency of
the system.
I can say with 100 percent confident that after learning ause of
above-mentioned components, you will be able to design
intelligent lock very easily.

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM OF ELECTRONICS LOCK

Its complete circuit diagram is shown below. As you can see all
the components which I have explained above is used. There is
only one extra component that is LED. LED is connected just as
an option. It will turn on when locker is open and it will remain
turn off otherwise.

I think, I have already explained each and everything of this

circuit above. Nothing is left to explain. But I have also included
a video lecture below. In video lecture, I have explained circuit
in more details. I have also shown its real time working. I also
provide details of programming in this video. Subscribe my
channels on YouTube or daily motion for more video tutorials.
Program of electronic lock
Code is written using c language, because, it is easy to write
code in c language. Also it is less time consuming. One of the
main feature of c language is that it is portable means c code
written for one microcontroller of microchip can be used for
others also by making little bit changes. But in case of assembly
language, one have to write complete code again and
assembly code takes too much time and it is very tedious. I

have tried my level best to provide you complete guide on

electronic lock through this article and video tutorial. I hope you
can able to write c code yourself after reading this article. But if
you need code, you can contact me on my email address:
bilalmalikuet@gmail.com. Note: contact me only, if you want to
purchase code. It is not free of cost. Thanks J
