Development of a Prayer Times Display Control System Using the Qt Framework and Socket Communication

Abstract

This project presents the development of a digital prayer times display and control system designed for mosque environments, integrating modern technologies to enhance the worship experience. The system consists of a central controller application and remote display units, enabling real-time and customizable presentation of daily prayer times. Built using the Qt framework and C++ programming language, the system leverages the capabilities of both TCP and UDP socket communication to ensure reliable and efficient data transmission. Raspberry Pi devices serve as display units due to their compact form, low power consumption, and continuous operational capabilities. The interface offers flexibility and adaptability to meet the specific requirements of various mosques, including features such as a countdown to the next prayer, automatic Adhan playback, and receiving and displaying images over the network. This work bridges academic learning with real-world application, demonstrating how embedded systems and network technologies can support religious practices and community organization in a modern and interactive manner.
