Suggested Mini Project Titles

1. Digital timer/clock

Design a digital timer display controlled by 68HCS12. The inputs consist of 2 push buttons,
START and STOP. The count display has for digits, 2 for minutes and 2 for seconds, which
allows timing to one hour (60 minutes). Seven-segment is used to display the digits. When the
START button is pressed, the count sequence begins with (00:00) and ends with (60:00), after
which it cycles back to (00:00). If the STOP is button is pressed, it will stop counting.

2. Automatic driving assistant

Design a system that would able to assist a mobile driver to observe mobile speed and to indicate
mobiles gear shift controlled by 68HCS12.

The system must have the following specification:-

Pedal to accelerate and decelerate

A gear shift indicator shows which gear is optimum based on speed
Speed limit indicator a warning light that on whenever speed limit is exceeded

4. Dancing lights
Design three patterns of dancing lights controlled by 68HCS12 microcontroller. The user can
choose the pattern by using DIP switch.

5. Security lock system

Design a security lock system which accepts a password via a keypad. If the password is correct,
a relay will be activated to open the door. If the password is incorrect, the buzzer will on.

6. Home lighting system

Design a home lighting system which automatically lights up the lamp (LEDs) when it is in dark.
The 68HCS12 will send the light through the light sensor. Whenever there is no light, the
controller will send output to light up the LEDs.
