This Simple post will give you basics steps to interface LED with 8051 Microcontroller.

Figure 1 shows how to interface the LEDs to microcontroller. As you can see the Anodes of LEDs are connected through a resistor to Vcc (5V) & the Cathode is connected to the Microcontroller Port 3 (P3.0, P3.1, P3.2, P3.3). So when the Port Pins are HIGH the LEDs are OFF & when the Port Pins are LOW the LEDs are turned ON.

Basic Flashing LED ALGORITHM
  1. Start.
  2. Turn ON LED connected to P3.0.
  3. Turn ON LED connected to P3.1.
  4. Turn ON LED connected to P3.2.
  5. Turn ON LED connected to P3.3.
  6. GO TO Start.
We now want to flash a LEDs. It works by turning ON a LEDs & then turning it OFFs & then looping back to START. However the operating speed of microcontroller is very high so the flashing frequency will also be very fast to be detected by human eye.
Modified Flashing LED ALGORITHM
  1. Start.
  2. Turn ON LED connected to P3.0.
  3. Wait for some time (delay).
  4. Turn ON LED connected to P3.1.
  5. Wait for some time (delay).
  6. Turn ON LED connected to P3.2.
  7. Wait for some time (delay).
  8. Turn ON LED connected to P3.3.
  9. Wait for some time (delay).
  10. GO TO Start.
You can see in the modified algorithm that after turning ON the LEDs the controller waits for the delay period & then turns OFF the led & again waits for the delay period & then goes back to the start. Here I turn On LEDs sequential.

Here we use delay loop which indicate Microcontroller (8051) to wait for some time.

Here I Post video of this simple project. If you have any doubt than comment it below box. I will help you for sure.
