PC Based Device Switching Controller

PC Based Device Switching Controller is the project which is aims to control the household electrical appliances through the computer by using a configuration of serial port so that user can control their household electrical appliances easily through their personal computer. The system is controlled by the input from the push button in simple Graphical User Interface (GUI) in the MA TLAB window. To connect from PC's to the household electrical appliances we will use a Serial Port connector (DB9) and the PIC as the interface circuit. However for the interface circuit itself a simple program have to be create to assign the entire serial port pin as input, output, supply and others so that the PC will understand the function of each pin and execute the user program.PIC functions as the main switch to controls the operation of the electrical appliances. It also will be programmed to allow the component to interact with the input received and the household electrical appliances. At the end of this project, this system will allow users to use and regulate their home electrical goods just by using the input from GUI as the ' remote control' .
