To sense whether the door is open or closed the circuits rely on a common type of magnetic proximity switch called magnetic contact. It's widely used in home security systems. They come in pairs with one block containing a magnet and the other housing a reed switch. The switch may be normally open or normally closed or may be a single-pole double-throw type. In the circuits below I use an NO and an NC type. Check out Honeywell's magnetic contacts catalog to see a wide variety of models. The ones I used had no brand and may have been made in Taiwan.
The circuits that were installed some four years ago:
MCU = Microchip PIC10F202 microcontroller
OPTO1, OPTO2 = Avago HCPL-817 optoisolator
RS = reed switch (magnetic contact)
Q1 = S9013 NPN transistor
SPKR = 8-ohm. 2-watt, 3-inch speaker
RS and magnet are fastened to the door jamb and door, respectively. When door is closed, magnet actuates RS and its contacts close. This shunts current to ground. When door is opened, RS contacts open, and current passes through LED of OPTO1 causing optotransistor to turn on. MCU then senses a low on its input pin. With this setup cutting either of the wires to RS will cause OPTO1 to be energized leading to the MCU playing the melody that indicates the door has just been opened. The drawback of this configuration is that it's always dissipating power. To minimize consumption R1 should be as large as possible but should still be able to supply sufficient current to OPTO1's LED to turn the optotransistor on.
MCU weak pull-ups are enabled in firmware so no external pull-up resistors are necessary on the optotransistors. GP3 is also the MCLR pin and is very sensitive to transients. So pcb track length to the optoisolator should be kept as short as possible.
R3 potentiometer allows adjustment of speaker volume to desired level.
When the door has been left open for a certain amount of time, MCU will start playing a different melody. The tune will be played over and over with a predetermined interval between plays until the door is closed, or until PB is momentarily pressed. PB prevents/stops the melody from playing (closing the door resets the variables and the "door has been left open" melody will play again if the door is left open once more). Firmware is such that RS switching and PB presses are detected and processed only when no melody is playing.
MCU = Microchip PIC10F202 microcontroller
OPTO1 = Avago HCPL-817 optoisolator
RS = reed switch (magnetic contact)
Q1 = 2N7000 MOSFET transistor
SPKR = 8-ohm. 250-mW, 2-inch speaker
In the above circuit (labeled "office circuit"), RS is open when magnet is in close proximity (door closed). This cuts off current to the optoisolator and therefore optotransistor is off. RS contacts close when the door is opened.
As for PB you may be wondering why I chose to use a normally closed momentary contact pushbutton. I actually can't recall exactly. It now strikes me as an odd (and bad) choice. It could've been due to nonavailability at that time of a normally open button. As you will see in the firmware I ran into problems with this set-up. The 5.1K pull-down resistor was too high and the internal pull-ups have to be disabled while GP3 is being read. Rather than having a pull-down resistor I should've just used the internal pull-up and connected the normally-closed PB to ground (instead of VDD). This would of course have necessitated changes in firmware--PB would now be deemed pressed if a high was sensed.
Playing melodies
To make music we need notes and to produce notes we need different frequencies. To create frequencies using a microcontroller and a speaker we can feed the speaker a square wave with a 50% duty cycle and a frequency corresponding to the note we wish to play. The following table summarizes the notes that the firmware below uses. Other frequencies from C0 to B10 can of course be utilized.| Note | Pitch | Frequency f (Hz) | Period T = 1/f (microseconds) | T/2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ti | B4 | 493.88 | 2024.8 | 1012.4 |
| do | C5 | 523.25 | 1911.1 | 955.57 |
| re | D5 | 587.33 | 1702.6 | 851.31 |
| mi | E5 | 659.26 | 1516.8 | 758.43 |
| fa | F5 | 698.46 | 1431.7 | 715.86 |
| sol | G5 | 783.99 | 1275.5 | 637.76 |
| la | A5 | 880.00 | 1136.4 | 568.18 |
| ti | B5 | 987.77 | 1012.4 | 506.19 |
| do | C6 | 1046.5 | 955.57 | 477.78 |
| re | D6 | 1174.7 | 851.28 | 425.64 |
| mi | E6 | 1318.5 | 758.44 | 379.22 |
In the firmware implementation the sole timer that exists in the PIC10F202 is used to determine when to switch the speaker on and off to produce the desired note. The 10F202 has a fixed internal clock frequency of 4MHz. With timer 0 prescaler set to 1:4
TMR0 rolls over to zero every 1 µs x 4 x TMR0 counts. Shifting the variables around we have: TMR0 counts = (T/2) / (1 µs x 4). Computed values are given in the following table. | Pitch | number of timer 0 counts given clock = 4MHz and prescale = 1:4 |
|---|---|
| B4 | 253 |
| C5 | 239 |
| D5 | 213 |
| E5 | 190 |
| F5 | 179 |
| G5 | 159 |
| A5 | 142 |
| B5 | 127 |
| C6 | 119 |
| D6 | 106 |
| E6 | 95 |
In order to obtain the above counts
TMR0 is loaded with an initial value = 256 - TMR0 counts.By energizing the speaker for T/2 and de-energizing it for T/2 the note of the desired frequency can be played. In creating a melody, however, we also need to control how long each note is played. Thus in the firmware this time duration of play is specified with each note. Since T/2 varies for every note the duration of play must vary accordingly as well in order for each note to play for the same length of time. This is computed as follows:
L1 x T1 = L2 x T2
where
L1 = play duration of note 1
T1 = period of note 1
L2 = play duration of note 2
T2 = period of note2
In the firmware E6 is arbitrarily set to 200. This leaves some room for a few more higher notes that may be necessary for other tunes. Table below lists the computed play durations.
| Pitch | Play duration of each note (E6 used as standard and arbitrarily set to 200) |
|---|---|
| B4 | 75 |
| C5 | 79 |
| D5 | 89 |
| E5 | 100 |
| F5 | 106 |
| G5 | 119 |
| A5 | 133 |
| B5 | 150 |
| C6 | 159 |
| D6 | 178 |
| E6 | 200 |
In the
PlayNote subroutine variable LENGTH determines how many times a note plays.Firmware
Since the firmware for the two circuits above are almost the same except for the melodies they play, I just had one program and had preprocessor defines to determine which part of the code would be assembled. By commenting out either#define home or #define office the desired firmware can be assembled. The time duration that a note is played is implemented through the variable
LENGTH, or in lieu of that by using a literal, and through the variable CYCLES. Pauses (silence) between notes when necessary are implemented using a 100ms delay routine. Because there's only one timer, timer 0 is used for both playing the notes and for polling of the switches. The prescale values are different for the two applications and so
OPTION register is edited accordingly when switching between the two. For the office circuit OPTION is also updated when weak pull-ups have to be temporarily disabled when the pushbutton is being polled.Firmware debounces all switch readings. The last eight readings are stored in one 8-bit variable and the switch is deemed not bouncing if the the variable is equal to 0x00 or 0xFF. Any other value means the switch is bouncing. Upon detection of a falling edge MCU plays one sequence of musical notes, and on detection of rising edge a different melody, to distinguish between opening and closing of the door.
I coded the firmware in PIC assembly using Microchip's MPLAB IDE. You'll probably be perplexed by the code since it uses a lot of homebrew defines and macros. On my computer they're in the include file "et.inc" and thus the reason for the
#include et.inc.
