The task of the microcontroller is to activate the relay driver IC. The relay driver IC turns on or off the devices. Relays are such that we can control our home appliances or any other electrical appliances. In this Computer operated devices kit, we will be using 8051 based Microcontroller and dock light software on a PC.
The Computer operated devices used with the help of a PC can control the devices i.e. Turn ON/OFF the devices with the help of dock light software. A very simple serial interfacing will be provided using which on a single click the user can control devices. On clicking the software sends data serially to our microcontroller via the serial port. The controller receives the data & decodes it and accordingly Turns ON/OFF the relays connected to it.
