Abstract
The traditional method of displaying information in schools via signposts and posters is problematic because sending various notices daily is time-consuming, posted information cannot be changed automatically, and they must be constantly monitored because they can easily wear out due to weather or human intervention. Electronic message display boards are becoming more popular in most Nigerian cities due to their dependability and benefits, as well as the ease with which information is transmitted, which the general public appreciates. This paper presents the design and construction of a microcontroller-based digital time-table display system for use in laboratories. In this work, a microcontroller, Light Emitting Diode display board, smartphone and LedArt software are used to display alphanumeric characters that scroll across the screen for easy viewing. The microcontroller used in this work is the HD-W60-75 controller, it is a Wi-Fi series display controller card, which updates programs by Wi-Fi. The LED module is screwed to a wooden frame with the microcontroller. After the final coupling, a succession of texts written on the LedArt software installed on a smartphone was sent to the display board through a Wi-Fi protocol. This electronic message display helps to convey information quickly and also boosts the response to information appealingly due to the way the messages are displayed. This work will not only display a timetable but also address the issue of real-time information and assist students to know the technologists in charge at that particular period.
