DESIGNING A DIGITAL LETTER BOX D.H.M. Perera 042039

History of Communication 

Communication is the method which people

share

their

ideas

and

information. 

At early stages, the man communicate through mails using, - runners, - pigeons - by using arrows with letters

History of Com……… 

The need of letters occurs as a media of communication.



Mailing system - first introduced by Britain - began to deliver the mails to the houses - need of letter boxes occurs to keep letters

Necessity of Digital letter box 

Modern world is becoming very busy - People like to do their activities easily and save the time . - people does not like to waist their time for small things



New Digital Letter Box is needed to detect the presence of letters easily

The normal operation of Digital Letter Box 

When no letters are present

The normal operation of Digital Letter Box 

When letters are present

Block Diagram Of The Designed Circuit Light Source



Detect Light/Dark

Light Source

To Display - Two colors LEDs

– A LED or a Bulb can be used

• Detect Light / Dark

– A LDR

• Display

– Two LEDs can be used

A Circuit should be implemented to obtain above operations.

Implementing The Circuit 

The circuit was designed using a NE555 IC



Most Common Operations of NE555 are, - Monostable - Astable &

NE555 IC as an Inverting Buffer 

Inverting buffer  - the output logic state (low/high) is the inverse of the input state





Input low (< 1/3 Vs) makes output high, +Vs



Input high (> 2/3 Vs) makes output low, 0V

Output remains in its present state, When

the

input

voltage

is

NE555 IC as an Inverting Buffer 

Gives the input a high immunity to noise



In other way we can say, •

High Output – Trigger input must go to higher to a lower level.



Low Output - The higher output can be returned to a lower by causing the threshold to go from a lower to a higher

NE555 IC as an Inverting Buffer

When, Vin < 1/3 Vsupply - High Output Vin > 2/3 Vsupply - Low output

Voltage Trigger

Threshold

To Trigger/Threshold

To give the required output, At illumination LED)

X < 1/3

Supply

- High Output (Red

At dark (Green LED)

X > 2/3

Supply

- Low output

The designed circuit 

The circuit at Letter Box,

The designed circuit 

The circuit at house,

Procedure of the Experiment 



Main controlling part – voltage divider circuit with LDR •

LDR resistance value at Dark

≈ 4.0 MΩ



LDR resistance value at Light

≈ 2.3 kΩ

The Resistance of LDR was observed, •

Using a 6 V bulb / white LED as the light source
