Mobile Charging On Coin Insertion
Mobile Charging On Coin Insertion
The aim of this project is to provide a solution for charging of mobile at public places. The
person who wants to charge his/her mobile has to insert a coin and connect his/her mobile with
the charger. Mobile will be charged a particular amount of time depending on the number of
coins inserted by him/her. As soon Coin Sensor detects the coin it sends a pulse to the
Microcontroller. The Microcontroller turns ON the relay(Electromechanical Switch) to provide
230V,50Hz signal to the charging socket and the user can charge his/her mobile phone from the
socket. The LCD (16×2) is used to display the time duration for which the user can charge
his/her mobile phone. As the total time gets lapsed, the charging will be stopped. It can be further
explained with the help of following block diagram.

LCD
LCD's typically have 14 data pins and 2 for the LED backlight. Character LCDs use a standard
14-pin interface and those with backlights have 16 pins. There may also be a single backlight
pin, with the other connection via Ground or VCC pin. The two backlight pins may precede the
pin 1.The nominal backlight voltage is around 4.2V at 25˚C using a VDD 5V capable model.
Character LCDs can operate in 4-bit or 8-bit mode. In 4 bit mode, pins 7 through 10 are unused
and the entire byte is sent to the screen using pins 11 through 14 by sending 4-bits) at a time.
