DIGITAL ENERGY METER

Introduction
The proposed system is based on PIC16F877A microcontroller.

1. For doing this project we use software like Mplab for Programming
the application software to the microcontroller.
2. Protel schematic software is used for designing circuit diagram.
3. Express PCB software is used for designing the PCB .
4. PCB Design in corel Draw.

Description
The main aim of the project is to read the voltage current and power and
Energy consumed display the readings on digital display. The amount of
electricity consumed by the electrical appliance is read by the microcontroller
and store it. Digital energy meter heart is microcontroller, it calculates voltage
,Current, power and energy consumed. The energy consumed is display
In watthours. Whenever energy meter starts it display previously
consumed energy in watthours and ready to measure more energy
consumption LCD display continously show voltage current and real power .

Watchdog timer;
14 interrupt sources;
capture, compare and PWM modules;
on-chip USART;
25mA current source and sink capability.

LCD
LCD’s can add a lot to your application in terms of providing an useful interface for
the user, debugging an application or just giving it a "professional" look. The most
common type of LCD controller is the Hitatchi 44780, which provides a relatively
simple interface between a processor and an LCD. Inexperienced designers do often
not attempt using this interface and programmers because it is difficult to find good
documentation on the interface, initializing the interface can be a problem and the
displays themselves are expensive. LCD has single line display, Two-line display.
Every line has 16 characters.

APPLICATION
Houses.
