Working
Here we have designed a fully automatic and configurable bell which can be used in schools and colleges. The heart of this project is PIC Mircocontroller.
Configuration: Initially we have to set the time, date and day. Also we have to set the number of bells/day and duration of ringing bell with respect to Long duration/Short duration.
Working: As the name itself indicates it will trigger bell automatically at a preset time interval.  After thew configuration, the system starts to monitor the time. Once the time reaches to preset time interval then this module activates the bell. Similarly the process repeats for the remaining time intervals. Even we can set special time for Friday and Exam days. In the below video we have explained for 2 bells.
Output
Tips
- Use Maxim Integrated’s DS3231 or DS3232 RTC for more accurate clock.
- Use enough capacitors if you are connecting 5V relay to the same power supply. Otherwise relay switching can reset the microcontroller.

How to set time and date
georgio i have a question , how can i use pic18f45k22 instade of pic18f4550 in the automatic school bell please help me!!! and eemail me if you can
Sorry for that, I have done this project very long back, almost at the beginning of my embedded programming life.
Thanks for the great work, but the absence of comments makes the understanding of the code difficult
sir please tell me the capacity of alarm in this project.
I think you should check the video.
hi,how many alarm we have set in this project per days.
hello
weldon very good job, thumb up, really appreciate your help so far,. this code finshed compillation but finish with error. please help look into it.
