This is a Queuing System project requested by a clinic asistant which allows the doctor
enter number from a keyboard and display it on a 32x16 LED panel.
This project uses two Arduino, the rst Arduino functioned as a SENDER which included a
PS2 keyboard and a mini LCD for number input. While the other Arduino is functioned as a
RECEIVER which will trigger a "ding-dong" tone and display number on the 32x16 LED
panel.

The SENDER uses a PS2 keyboard instead of USB keyboard, USB keyboard will cost
higher since it require a USB host shield. You should get a Matrix keypad
(http://ediy.com.my/index.php/2012-10-21-15-15-03/2013-04-14-05-06-50/item/65-
arduino%E8%AF%BB%E5%8F%96%E9%94%AE%E7%9B%98) (please use google
translate) in case the PS2 keyboard is not available in the market.

These two Arduino (SENDER & RECEIVER) is connected via a CAT5e network cable, the
CAT5e cable provide power to the RECEIVER and also transfer data between two Arduino.

Step 4: Arduino Software Libraries

You must have the following software libraries install on your computer:

Freetronics dot matrix display library: Driving Freetronics 512 pixels (32 × 16 layout)
matrix LED display

There are two folders (Queue_calling_system_Sender and

Queue_calling_system_Receiver) inside the ZIP le, download
(http://ediy.com.my/Downloads/2015/Electronic_Queue_Display_System/Queue_calling_sys
tem.zip) and extract it to Arduino sketch folder. After that upload the
Queue_calling_system_Sender.ino & Queue_calling_system_Receiver to the two Arduino.

 Step 6: SENDER PCB Design

(https://cdn instructables com/FMN/L814/I7HG6U7F/FMNL814I7HG6U7F

This is a homemade Arduino (http://ediy.com.my/index.php/projects/item/86-minimal-
arduino-with-8mhz-internal-clock) (DIY Arduino) , it uses the 8MHZ internal oscillator as
the clock source and require very few components. Resistor R3 is used to control the
contrast , its resistance can be varies from 2.2K ohms to 6.8K ohms, it is recommended to
use an 10K adjustable resistor to test the contrast before selecting a resistor. I have 20 sets
mini LCD screen, most of them can use the 2.2K ohm resistor for contrast control, however
several of them have to use 6.8K ohm resistor.

R3, LED + and LED- is soldered directly to the PCB in order to reduce the wire connection
beween the Arduino & mini LCD screen

Step 7: RECEIVER PCB Design

(https://cdn instructables com/FPU/98ZH/I7HG6UA3/FPU98ZHI7HG6UA3

auto=webp&fit=bounds) LARGE jpg?

The RECEIVER also using an 8MHZ internal oscillator as the clock source, its design is very
similar to SENDER with additional 470 ohm resistor and a 8021-2 ding-dong sound effect
IC near to the pin 28 of ATMega328 .
The 8021-2 ding-dong sound effect IC is not able to drive a 3W speaker since its output
signal is very weak, and therefore it must connected to a mini-ampli er. I will not talk much
about 32x16 Dot Matrix Display panel, please visit here for more details

The 8021-2 is a ding-dong sound effect generator IC produced by LSI CMOS technology.
With built-in RC oscillator and digital envelope circuits, minimal external components are
required.
