Design of Programmable Ship Navigation Light Controller

Abstract:

In this paper, a new type of ship lights controller is presented, which is based on AVR microcontroller, and adopts modular design with isolation between electricity and electronics. The control panel uses LED lattice to indicate the actual layout of the lights and vary lights brightness. Electrical current detection device is used to monitor ship lights. So that the alarm rings when any of the lights is burnt out. The software is developed based on Windows environment, with graphical interface, so that it is easy to use. The proposed controller can be redeveloped to adapt to different configuration of different ship lights.
