1. Introduction

The Internet of Things (IOT) is the network of physical objects or devices, vehicles, buildings, and other items
embedded with electronics, software, sensor and network connectivity that enables these objects to collect and
exchange data. Mobile phone and other related technologies are becoming more and more famous. So that
communication with every person has become easy and smart. Another technology used is Global System for Mobile
Communication (GSM) for sending message anytime and anywhere. Notice board plays a vital role in today’s world. It
is commonly used in places like school, colleges,railway stations and other various institutes. But changing notices day
to day is a difficult task. So to overcome such things this paper focuses on a digital notice board. The main objective of
this paper is to develop a notice board using IOT that replaces the currently used electronic display. Adigital notice board
can be replaced in place of an conventional notice board which reduces manpower and resources. The digital notice
board uses digital technology and electronic components. It is implemented to display notices or messages from
anywhere or at anytime. A Smart Notice Board [1] designed and developed using Internet of Things. It uses an Mobile
App that send message that is to be displayed on the notice board. This uses an Wi-Fi module which limits the distance
from which the message is to be sent. A Digital Notice Board [2] is mainly consists of Raspberry Pi in which there is an
android application that is connected to the LCD display. This project needs a continuous internet connection that too
with registered network.A survey paper on The Android Controlled Smart Notice Board using IOT [3] has been
implemented an Android Controlled Smart Notice Board using IOT which uses the Raspberry Pi and IOT. The drawback
of this project is that it uses a specific App which is again to be developed for the same and it also requires continuous
internet connection. Implementation of Digital Notice Board using Raspberry Pi and IOT [4] in which PC is used for
sending information and Raspberry Pi is connected to internet at the receiving side. The need of continuous internet
connection is one of the drawbacks of the system. A survey paper on Voice Over Wi-Fi based Smart Wireless Notice

Board [5]. It is a system to wirelessly transmit short notice using Wi-Fi. This system uses Raspberry Pi for the Transfer
of the information. Zigbee based Electronic Notice [6] Board. In this project the wireless notice board is developed with
the help of ZigBee and GSM Technology. The software developed at the personal computer is to assist the user to send
the notices to the students through emails through mobiles and to display the notices at the notice board. The drawback
of this system is that it needs continuous internet connectivity to transfer information that is to be displayed
through e-mails. In this paper a digital notice board is proposed which can be controlled/operated by authorized person
from anywhere without any distance issue. The normal messaging app of an android mobile phone is used for transfer of
notices/messages in this system to make it more user friendly. The resources, manpower, time consumption generally
required for conventional notice board is reduced with the use of this system. It is also cost effective over the
conventional notice board.

2. METHODOLOGY
The main function of the proposed system is to develop a Digital notice board that display message sent from the user
through mobile phone (SMS) and to design a simple, user friendly system, which can receive and display
message/information in a particular manner with respect to date and time which will help the user to easily keep the
track of notice board every day and each time he uses the system. System consist of two section called as sender and
receiver. Sender is responsible for sending valuable information through the GSM protocol. In order to access Digital
notice board the sender must enter into the corresponding mobile number [3]. When the user enter correct mobile
number, the message can be typed and get space for the information transmission. To make the proposed system more
user friendly we make an android application .By using this application sender can directly enter the message. In
receiver section, PIC microcontroller is connected on GSM module for accessing the sim card. It is a capable little
device that enables people of all ages to explore radio waves transmission and reception. We use here embedded C
language and GSM protocol as the basic working principle.

3. SYSTEM REQUIREMENT
Hardware is a physical outlook of any field which is interlinked to computerization in Information Technology. It is
comprised of various elements which results in a suitable output. In this paper the few hardware elements which are
embedded are as follows:
A. Transformer: In this wireless electronic notice board the transformer, which consists of two winding’s primary and
secondary is used for converting the 220V to 24V ac because this system is directly connected to the power supply.
B. Voltage Regulator: The voltage regulator is used for providing the fix 12 volts, DC to the microcontroller and LCD
display. In the absence of voltage regulator, the higher voltage may be damage the LED Matrix display or
microcontroller and in this system these two components are too much important.
C. MAX232: The problem is occurred when we communicate between TTL logic and CMOS logic because, here in
wireless electronic notice board we are communicating between GSM modem and microcontroller therefore the
problem would be occurred. For solving this problem, the max 232 is used in this specific wireless electronic notice
board.
D. GSM Modem: GSM modem is a wireless modem as shown in Fig. 1. It works on wireless network. This modem
works like a dialup modem and sim is required for communication. In dialup modem the data is send or received
through the fix telephonic line but in GSM modem data is send or received though the radio waves.
E. Arduino: Microcontroller is referred as the chief functioning element which holds a mechanism of every element
with a few interlinks between them. There are many microcontrollers in existence out of which we are preferring
“arduino” microcontroller in our innovation. The main reason to opt arduino as our microcontroller is because of its
simple characteristics as it enables the beginner to grasp the content quickly. It is possible to interact with the basic
programming as it contains many inbuilt functions with an own compiler and a quick accessibility between the
components is possible, it is eco-friendly and also cost-friendly. Referring to the merits of arduino, we chose to operate
our module with this particular microcontroller.
F. Digital Notice Board: The Digital Notice Board consists of some special registers to store the messages given by
the user and it displays sequentially. The Arduino + Ethernet module controls the display system in the digital notice
board through online. This Large, bright 512 LED matrix panel has on board controller circuitry designed to make it
easy to use straight from your board.Its brightness level is upto 3500nits to 4500nits.one plate requires 3.5A current and
5V voltage .

4. SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION
Hosting: Hosting maintains clients websites on its systems and provides related service. The services may include
leasing of hard disk space, stability of hardware and software, securing with a backup, unique content provision with
high speed web access. In our proposed module it helps us to provide the authentication details which gets stored in
database that can be accessed from any corner of world.In this point of view, hosting has key role in the IOT based
digital notice Board.
4.1 Need of Scripts to develop the module:
PHP: Personal home page is an HTML-embedded, serverside scripting language designed for web development. It
generally works on a web server.
JSON (Java Script Object Notation): JSON is a data structure format .The data is considered as objects with
properties .This formalism is close enough to XML and java script.
SQL: My SQL is a relational database management system. (RDBMS). It is distributed under a dual GPL and
proprietary license. It is one of the database management softwares mostly used in the world.
URL: Uniform resource locator is the basic network identification to specify addresses on the web. Arduino
Programming to interface with Ethernet: Arduino has some inbuilt function which enables the user to script the
programming. SPI.h and Ethernet.h are inbuilt functions to interface with Arduino microcontroller. Arduino has several
versions such as ATmega ,UNO and Mega .Every version has capability to interface with ethernet.

5.MECHANISM
The Ethernet Module comes preceding by the factor to automatically obtain an Internet Protocol address from the
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server on the Ethernet network or other compatible device. Therefore,
since a DHCP server sets the initial IP address, to connect to the Ethernet Module one must discover the IP address the
DHCP server has assigned the device. It is possible to configure the module to a static IP address, but doing so can
create an IP address conflict during commissioning, so this is not a typical default. Once a connection is established with
the Ethernet Module via the web browser interface a static IP address may be assigned. In order to quickly locate the
assigned IP address of the interface every Ethernet Module has a Media Access Control Address (MAC) that is provided
by manufacturer. The MAC address is in a format 0050C2 - 4A5xxx where xxx can be any combination of numbers 0-9
or letters A-F. After knowing the IP address of a particular Ethernet module, it is to be browsed by commanding to the
uniform resource link (URL) .If everything is correct, you should get a window asking you for User Name and Password.
After connecting to the Ethernet Module, the data transfers from the Arduino to the Digital notice board through
Ethernet module. The Digital notice board mainly consists of row column scanning method. Initially the program code

gets debugged in the Arduino microcontroller. All ASCII values, numerical values and special characters given in the
binary form are displayed on the Digital Notice board after conversion with the help of microcontrollers.

6.APPLICATIONS
This system can be implemented for commercial purpose as well as for individual use. Further modification in the
system can also led to reminder system, in which an event can be scheduled using the date and time and accordingly the
system will alert you with appropriate information about the event. Generally it can be can be used in classrooms,
schools, seminar halls to updates.

7.CONCLUSION
This paper gives a clear description of both hardware and software of IOT Based Digital Notice Board. Retrieving the
advantages of Internet of Things (IOT),it is one of the useful technologized commodity. Digital Notice board is a
systematic alignment of portraying desired information that directs through a proper channel, helps the user to reach
their destinations that may be in any area .Designing of notice board may be a simple task but compiling it with a high-
level language will charge a bit brilliance. With the help of Arduino Board a developed web application is provided
with a well secured system. In this paper we proposed a model which monitors the crowdie area. When compared to the
past, where paper notices were crucial, we endowed this digital notice board due to vexation of paper work. I surely
expect that this kind of Display board rules the forward decades and keeps a good sound in technology.
