Introduction:
School bells have been a critical part of all our childhoods.
But with the advent of technology as many things have been
digitalized the school bell remains the same old manual
schoolbell. Let's take the school bell too in the new age by
making a digital school bell that does more than just ring.
Functionalities:
• Storing entire day timetable with timings
• Sounding buzzer at the end of every period
• Displaying the name of the current and next period
• Ability to reprogram the board at any time
Components:
• STM32 Controller
• Bluetooth Module
• LED Display
• School Bell Buzzer
• Transformer
• Regulator Circuitry
• Switches
• LED’s
• PCB Board
• Resistors
• Capacitors
• Transistors
• Cables and Connectors
Detailed Working:
A small school bell system with a digital display
works by integrating a microcontroller, such as an Arduino or
Raspberry Pi, with a real-time clock (RTC) module to keep
accurate time. The microcontroller is programmed with a
schedule that defines when the bell should ring throughout the
school day. At the set times, the microcontroller sends a signal to
an electromechanical relay, which in turn activates the bell,
typically a solenoid-operated strike bell or an electronic sounder.
The digital display, often an LCD or LED screen, is connected
to the microcontroller to show the current time and upcoming
bell times. The system can be powered by a reliable power
source, with a backup battery for the RTC to maintain accurate
time during power outages. The entire setup is housed in a
protective enclosure and mounted in a central location in the
school, with the bell positioned to ensure its sound reaches all
necessary areas.
