    8 Player Quiz Buzzer Circuit using 8051 Microcontroller

    Conventional systems require human intervention to decide which team has pressed the button and th
    system can be erroneous and even biased. Another problem arises when two members pressed th
    button at a negligible interval and it is difficult to guess who has pressed the buzzer first. Here w
    designed an automatic quiz buzzer system such that when more than one team presses the buzzer, th
    delay is accurately taken into account and number is displayed. We build the circuit using
    microcontroller which scans the input from push buttons and displays the corresponding number on

    display device. It is a simple circuit with minimum number of components and sans any complexitie
    It's free.
    The microcontroller takes into account the time delay between two buttons and the accurate number
    displayed. Even though this system is only for 8 teams, more teams can be added by using another set
    8 push buttons.

    Principle Behind the Quiz Buzzer Circuit:

    StumbleUpon
    The circuit is a simple embedded system with a set of 8 push buttons being the input devices,
    Submit
    microcontroller as the controller and the output devices being a buzzer and a display. The who

    operation is carried out by a microcontroller through a program written in C language and dumpe
    inside the microcontroller. When one of the buttons is pressed, the buzzer starts ringing and th
    corresponding number is displayed on the 7 segment display.

    Quiz Buzzer Circuit Design:

    The whole design process involves six steps. First step requires designing the circuit; the second step
    drawing the circuit on any software like Proteus. The third step involves writing the code using high lev
    language or assembly language and then compiling it on a software platform like Kiel uVision. The four
    step is dumping the code in microcontroller and fifth step is simulating the circuit.

    The circuit involves using five major components a Microcontroller, 8 SPST push buttons, a buzzer and
    common cathode 7 segment display. The microcontroller used in this case is AT89C51, an 8 b
    microcontroller manufactured by Atmel.

    Reset Circuit Design: The reset resistor is selected such that the voltage at the reset pin, across th

    resistor is at minimum of 1.2V and the width of the pulse applied to this pin is greater than 100 ms. He
    we select a resistor of 100K ohms and a capacitor of 10uF.

    Oscillator Circuit Design: The oscillator circuit is designed using a crystal oscillator of 12 Mhz and tw
    ceramic capacitors each 15pF. The crystal is connected between pins 18 and 19 of the microcontroller

    Microcontroller Interfacing Design: The set of 8 push buttons are interfaced to port P1 of th

    microcontroller and a buzzer is interfaced to the port pin P0.0. The 7 segment display is interfaced to th
    microcontroller such that all the input pins are connected to port P2.
    Microcontroller Code: The code can be written using C language or assembly language. Here we select
    write the program in C language using Kiel uVision. This is accomplished by the following steps
    1. Create a new project on Kiel window and select the target.
    2. Create a new file under the project and write the code.

    3. Save the code with .c extension and add the file to the source group folder under the target folder
    4. Configure flash tools and create the hex file.
    5. Compile the code by pressing F7.

    Once the code is compiled and a hex file is created, next step is to dump the code into th

    microcontroller. Since here we are not using any hardware device, we simply use Proteus to dump th
    code. This is done by first drawing the circuit on Proteus and then adding the code to the microcontroll
    by right clicking on the device.

    How Quiz Buzzer Circuit Works?

    Once the circuit is powered, the compiler will initialize the stack pointer and the variables having th

    non-zero initial values and perform other initialization process and then calls the main function. It the
    checks if any of the buttons is pressed. In other words the microcontroller scans for any of its input pi

    at port P1 to be zero or at logic low level. In case pressed, the display function is called by passing th
    corresponding number. The microcontroller then sends the relevant signals to the port connected to th
    7 segment display.

    The BCD to 7 segment decoding operation is not required in this case as direct values are send to th

    port pins or the input pins of the 7 segment display such that the corresponding LEDs start glowing an
    the number is displayed. Simultaneously, a high logic signal is also sent to the buzzer pin such th
    current flows through the device and the buzzer start ringing.

    Applications of Quiz Buzzer Circuit:


    1. This circuit can be used at quiz competitions organized at schools, colleges and other institutions.
    2. It can be also used for other games.
    3. It can be used as at public places like banks, restaurants as a digital token display system.

    Limitations of Quiz Buzzer Circuit:


    1. The microcontroller used is a CMOS device and is highly static and hence cannot be touched
    bare hands.
    2. It is a low range circuit, i.e. it is not possible to operate the circuit remotely.

    3. It is a battery operated circuit and can easily run out of power once the battery life time ends.

    4. It is a theoretical circuit and in practical application may require some passive components an
    even designing a linear power supply circuit to power the circuit directly using the mains supply.
