Overview Of Speed Control Of A Dc Motor Using Android

ABSTRACT

The Android-is the most popular mobile platform, which is very useful in creating much real time application which is useful in our day to day life. The DC motors are widely used for variable speed drive system in industrial applications such as industrial automation, electric traction, aircraft, military equipment, hard disk drives because of their high efficiency, silent operation, compact, reliability and low maintenance. Due to the advancement of wireless technology, there are several connections introduced such as GSM, Wi-Fi, ZIGBEE and Bluetooth. Each of the connection has their own unique specifications and applications. Among these wireless connections, Bluetooth technology is often implemented. The speed control was implemented using Bluetooth technology to provide communication access from smart phone. On the other hand we have ARDUINO UNO platform that we can use to quickly prototype electronic systems. Android mobile act as a transmitter and the received by Bluetooth receiver interfaced to Arduino which send data to the Bluetooth module and which in-turn run the motor

1.0                                                        INTRODUCTION

Today most of the industries use DC motors. So, speed controlling of DC motors plays a very vital role. Therefore our paper concentrates on monitoring and controlling the speed of DC motor using Android mobile application, with the help of Bluetooth technology. Smart phones have in-built Bluetooth technology, so and external Bluetooth module is interfaced with the microcontroller unit (ARDUINO) for wireless communication. The Bluetooth module receives command from the mobile phone android application. So, according to the input signal, with the help of arduino, MOSFET can be used to vary the voltage as well as the speed of the DC motor using PWM technique. Direction of the DC motor can also be varied with the help of relay circuit or H-Bridge network.

1.1                                                   AIM OF THE PROJECT

The main aim of this work is to design a device that controls the speed of a DC motor using an arduino with android application device.

1.2                                             OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT

After studying the material in this chapter, the student involved would be able to:

1. Understand the working principle of the dc motor
2. Know how to control the speed of a dc motor using android
3. Know the importance of controlling a dc motor speed

1.3                                         SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROJECT

1. Bluetooth consumes less power than other
2. Android application is user-friendly.
3. Technically expert persons are not
4. Wireless communication is
5. Programming is

1.4                             PROBLEMS OF THE PROJECT

1. Usage of Bluetooth module makes the usage only within a short
2. Usage of android app in smart phones consumes

1.5                          APPLICATIONS OF THE PROJECT

1. Home automation.
2. Many industrial applications require adjustable speed drive and constant speed for improving the quality product.
3. Intensity of light can also be controlled with the help of android app.

1.6                                                 SCOPE OF THE PROJECT

This system DC motor Controller by Android is developed to control the speed of the DC motor in both clockwise and anticlockwise direction. For this DC motor is interfaced to the arduino. A Bluetooth modem is used to receive direction commands and PWM commands. When an Android device sends commands, it is received by the Bluetooth modem which then sends the commands to the microcontroller. The microcontroller the controls the DC motor through motor driver. The entire system is powered by 12V transformer.

1.7                                        PROJECT WORK ORGANIZATION
