CHAPTER 01
INTRODUCTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The aim of our project is High-performance low-cost low-loss wireless DC motor speed
control unit. Nowadays, there are lots of good-quality motor speed controls on the
market. However, their costs are relatively high. A speed control with both low cost and
good performance will be highly marketable, especially for small mobility applications.
On the other hand, the wireless connectivity has a nature of low cost and less
environmental limitations. Combining these ideas together, we came up with this project.
Wireless remote controlled toy cars work on the concept explained in this project. Motor
control through RF communication is a very interesting application and is widely used
in robotics, electronics toys, automation systems etc. This topic covers the way DC
motors can be driven by using the controls from a distant place. The controls are
transferred from one end to another by employing an module. The remote
control application of RF has been extended to operate a motor driver which in turn
controls the direction of motors. Embedded automated machines is a man-made
mechanical device that can move by themselves, whose motion must be modelled,
planned, sensed, actuated, and controlled, and whose motion or behaviour can be
influenced by programming.In the field of industrial electronics, the interaction between
man and machine typically consists of the designing and maintaining the machine by the
human operator. This can be very easily done by using various electronics circuits.
The aim of our project is to construct such a robot which can be controlled wireless
through RF.
1.2 MOTIVATION
Recently, Data acquisition is the process by which events in the real world are sampled
and translated into machine-readable signals. Data acquisition typically involves sensors,
transmitters and other instruments to collect signals, waveforms etc. to be processed and
various functions can be performed and analysed in practical world.
The components of data acquisition systems include appropriate sensors that convert any
measurement parameter to an electrical signal, which is acquired by data acquisition
hardware.
Department Of Electronics & Communication Engineering 1
Wireless dc motor control through RF
In our project we are transmitting data using RF technology to our receiver circuitry.
At the receiver part we have a string climbing circuitry which receives wireless signal
through RF technology which is then given to microcontroller as input where it is
decoded and acquired data is provided to motor.
1.3 OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT
The wireless remote controller is simple: start, stop, accelerate and decelerate. The
source of the speed control is a 12 V battery and control currents over a range of 0 to
50 A. The controller has a high efficiency for motor loads in the range of 50 to 150
W. It should deliver the nominal power continuously and be able to tolerate slight
overloading for a short period of time. For strong overloading, it should protect the
motor from being damaged for a few seconds, then shut down the motor and request a
reset from the user simultaneously.

LITERATURE REVIEW
1. Robert Dale [01]
A DC motor is a type of electric motor powered by DC (direct current)
electricity. DC motors are used to run machinery, often eliminating the need for a
steam engine or internal combustion engine (ICE). DC motors are capable of
operating on rechargeable batteries. Today, DC motors are found in multiple
applications ranging as small as toys or as large as paper machines. Modern DC
motors usually operate in conjunction with power electronic devices.There are two
sects within the realm of DC motors, those requiring commutation (brushed and
brushless) and those not requiring it (homopolar and ball bearing). A brushed DC
electric motor generates torque directly from DC power supplied by internal
commutation, stationary magnets, and rotating electrical magnets. Brushless DC
motors use a rotating permanent magnet or soft magnetic core in the rotor, and
stationary electrical magnets on the motor housing. A motor controller converts DC to
AC (alternating current). Some of the advantages of a brushed DC motor include low
initial cost, high reliability, and simple control of motor speed. Disadvantages include
high maintenance and low life-span for high intensity uses.Maintenance involves
regularly replacing the brushes and springs that carry the electric current, in addition
to cleaning or replacing the commutator. These components are necessary for
transferring electrical power from outside the motor to the spinning wire windings of
the rotor inside the motor. This design is simpler than that of brushed motors because
it eliminates the complication of transferring power from outside the motor to the
spinning rotor. Advantages of brushless motors include long life span, little or no
maintenance, and high efficiency. Disadvantages include high initial cost and more
complicated motor speed controllers.

For speed control of dc motor many methods are available which are either be a
mechanical or electrical for example armature control, field control, flux control
method etc but this methods required large size hardware to implement. So for easy
control of speed and the direction control of dc motor the wireless speed and direction
control of dc motor by using radio frequency technique is very much essential and
economical to used. For variable dc voltage we can used a controlled rectifiers which

are converted a variable dc voltage from fixed dc voltage. Due to their ability to
supply a continuously variable dc voltage. Many analoge and digital chips are used in
firing or controlling circuits but transistor and thyristor control are more accessible
due to their innumerable application in various industry. Recent development in the
area of semiconductor technology have made faster ,very small size microprocessors
and microcontroller are available at in much reduced cost. The microcontroller can
provide a controlling of width of pulse provide to a controlling a voltage of motor

THEORY
This project title is ‘Wireless dc motor control through RF’ which is a particular
system for server room. The circuit of this project uses RF module to control DC
motors through a motor driver IC L293D. Transmission is enabled by giving a low bit
to pin14 (TE, active low) of encoder HT12E. The controls for motor are first sent to
HT12E. Pins 10 and 11 (D0-D1) are used to control one motor while pins 12 and 13
(D2-D3) to control another motor. The data signals of encoder HT12E work on
negative logic. Therefore a particular signal is sent by giving a low bit to the
corresponding data pin of encoder.
The parallel signals generated at transmission end are first encoded (into serial format)
by HT12E and then transferred through RF transmitter (434 MHz) at a baud rate of
around 1-10 kbps. The same signals are acquired by RF receiver after which it is
decoded by HT12D. For more details, refer RF remote control.
Since the encoder/decoder pair used here works on negative logic, the decoded
signals are fed to an inverter (NOT gate) IC 74LS04. The proper (inverted) signals are
then supplied to L293D. L293D contains two inbuilt H-bridge driver circuits to drive
two DC motors simultaneously, both in forward and reverse direction.
The motor operations of two motors can be controlled by input logic at pins 2 & 7
and pins 10 & 15. Input logic 00 or 11 will stop the corresponding motor. Logic 01
and 10 will rotate it in clockwise and anticlockwise directions, respectively. Thus,
depending upon the signals generated at the transmission end, the two motors can be
rotated in desired directions

CIRCUIT DETAILS4.1 BLOCK DIAGRAM
This circuit generates a square wave whose frequency and duty ratio are controlled by
two variable resistors.RF transmitter:The transceiver chip will take the output from
the function generator (square wave) and frequency modulates it with the carrier
signal. The modulated signal is then sent through an antenna. The chip we plan to use
is CC1120, a high performance low power RF transceiver made by TI.RF
receiver:The same transceiver chip on the receiving end will pick up the desired
signal, demodulate it and pass it to the signal recovery unit. This block might contain
additional filters depending on the actual quality of the received signal.

In our project we are transmitting data using RF technology to our receiver
circuitry. At the receiver part we have a string climbing circuitry which receives
wireless signal through RF technology which is then given to microcontroller as
input where it is decoded and acquired data is provided to motor.
In many industry such as paper mills, rolling mills, printing machine machine tools,
excavators and cranes etc the dc motor is used for waying a product from one place to
another on the conveyer belt . So due to these the speed and direction control of the dc
motor is very important. purpose. Motor speed controller is to take a signal
representing the required speed and to drive a motor at that speed For that purpose
wireless speed and direction control of dc motor by radio frequency technique is very
crucial with pulse width modulation and H-Bridge converter. The microcontroller
AT89S51 is used to control the dc motor speed and Transistorised h-bridge converter
is used for direction control. By adjusting the duty cycle of pulse from Pulse Width
Modulation technique simultaneously the terminal voltage of motor is change and
hence speed will be vary with terminal voltage. H-Bridge is a DC to DC converter
used for direction and made by 4 transistor switch across it a diode are connected.
Most human feels the inconvenient about changing the fan speed level manually when
the room temperature changes. So, the automatic fan system that automatically
changes the speed level according to the temperature changes is recommended to be
built for solving this problem. There are two threshold in the program, the minimum
temperature and the maximum temperature .If temperature is below the minimum
temperature threshold, the fan will be turned off. If the temperature is above the
maximum temperature threshold, the fan is set to maximum speed.
It is often required to switch electrical appliances from a distance without being a
direct line of sight between the transmitter and receiver. As you may well know, an
RF based wireless remote control system (RF Transmitter & RF Receiver) can be used
to control an output load from a remote place. RF transmitter, as the name suggests,
uses radio frequency to send the signals at a particular frequency and a baud rate.
The RF receiver can receive these signals only if it is configured for the pre-defined
signal/data pattern. An ideal solution for this application is provided by compact
transmitter and receiver modules, which operate at a frequency of 434 MHz and are
available ready-made. Here, the radio frequency (RF) transmission system employs
Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK) with transmitter (and receiver) operating at 434 MHz.
Department Of Electronics & Communication Engineering 8
Wireless dc motor control through RF
The use of the ready-made RF module simplifies the construction of a wireless remote
control system and also makes it more reliable.
Note that, for the transmission of a unique signal, an encoder is crucial. For this, I
have used the renowned encoder IC HT12E from Holtek. HT12E is capable of
encoding information which consists of N address bits and 12N data bits. Each
address/ data input can be set to one of the two logic states. The programmed
addresses/data are transmitted together with the header bits via an RF transmission
medium upon receipt of a trigger signal. Solder bridges TJ1 and TJ2 are used to set
the address and data bits.The current consumption with a supply voltage of near 5.4V
is about 10 mA. Since the current consumption is very little,the power can also be
provided by standard button cells. Recommended antenna length is 17 cm for 433.92
MHz, and a stiff wire can be used as the antenna. Remember to mount the antenna
(aerial) as close as possible to pin 4 (ANT) of the transmitter module. The “coded”
signal transmitted by the transmitter is processed at the receiver side by the decoder
IC HT12F from Holtek. VR1 and R1 are used to tweak the oscillator frequency of the
decoder to that of the transmitter. Any possible variations due to component
tolerences and/or a different supply voltage can be compensated by this arrangement.
HT12F is capable of decoding informations that consist of N bits of address and 12N
bits of data. HT12F decoder IC receives serial addresses and data from the HT12E
encoder that are transmitted by the RF transmitter module. HT12D compare the serial
input data three times continuously with the local addresses.If no error or unmatched
codes are found, the input data codes are decoded and then transferred to the output
pins. The “Valid Transmission” (VT) pin also goes high to indicate a valid
transmission.For proper operation, a pair of HT12E/HT12F ICs with the same number
of addresses and data format should be chosen. The data bits are set up using solder
bridges RJ1 and RJ2. Output of the decoder is brought out on a pinheader K1 , making
the logical signal available to circuits that need it. This output is also fed to the relay
driver transitor T1. The RF Receiver circuit can be powered from a standard 5VDC
supply. Just as for the RF Transmiitter, the aerial (17 cm for 433.92 MHz) has to be
mounted as close as possible to the RF IN (ANT) pin of the 434MHz RF receiver
module.

BREADBOARD IMPLEMENTATION4.1 BOARD TYPES
The two most popular PCB types are:
4.1.1 SINGLE SIDED BOARDS
The single sided PCBs are mostly used in entertainment electronics where
manufacturing costs have to be kept at a minimum. However in industrial electronics
cost factors cannot be neglected and single sided boards should be used wherever a
particular circuit can be accommodated on such boards.
4.1.2 DOUBLE SIDED BOARDS
Double-sided PCBs can be made with or without plated through holes. The
production of boards with plated through holes is fairly expensive. Therefore plated
through hole boards are only chosen where the circuit complexities and density of
components does not leave any other choice.

CHAPTER 8
PCB DESIGN
When designing the layout one should observe the minimum size (component body
length and weight). Before starting to design the layout we need all the required
components in hand so that an accurate assessment of space can be made. Other space
considerations might also be included from case to case of mounted components over
the printed circuit board or to access path of present components. It might be
necessary to turn some components around to a different angular position so that
terminals are closer to the connections of the components. The scale can be checked
by positioning the components on the squared paper. If any connection crosses, then
one can reroute to avoid such condition.
All common or earth lines should ideally be connected to a common line routed around
the perimeter of the layout. This will act as the ground plane. If possible try to route the
outer supply line to the ground plane. If possible try to route the other supply lines around
the opposite edge of the layout through the centre. The first set is tearing the circuit to
eliminate the crossover without altering the circuit detail in any way. Plan the layout
looking at the topside to this board. First this should be translated inversely, later for the
etching pattern large areas are recommended to maintain good copper adhesion. It is
important to bear in mind always that copper track width must be according to the
recommended minimum dimensions and allowance must be made for increased width
where termination holes are needed. From this aspect, it can become little tricky to
negotiate the route to connect small transistors. There are basically two ways of copper
interconnection patterns under side the board. The first is the removal of only the amount
of copper necessary to isolate the junctions of the components to one another. The second
is to make the interconnection pattern looking more like conventional point wiring by
routing uniform width of copper from component to component. Etching process requires
the use of chemicals. Acid resistant dishes and running water supply. Ferric chloride is
mostly used solution but other etching materials such as ammonium per sulphate can be
used. Nitric acid can be used but in general it is not used due to poisonous fumes. The
pattern prepared is glued to the copper surface of the board using a latex type of adhesive
that can be cubed after use. The pattern is laid firmly on the copper using a very sharp
knife to cut round the pattern carefully to remove the paper corresponding to the required
copper pattern areas. Then apply the resistant solution,
Department Of Electronics & Communication Engineering 13
Wireless dc motor control through RF
which can be a kind of ink solution for the purpose of maintaining smooth clean outlines
as far as possible. While the board is drying, test all the components. Check for any free
metal on the copper. The etching bath should be in a glass or enamel disc. If using crystal
of ferric- chloride these should be thoroughly dissolved in water to the proportion
suggested. There should be 0.5 lt. of water for 125 gm of crystal. To prevent particles of
copper hindering further etching, agitate the solutions carefully by gently twisting or
rocking the tray. The board should not be left in the bath a moment longer than is needed
to remove just the right amount of copper. In spite of there being a resistive coating there
is no protection against etching away through exposed copper edges. This leads to over
etching. Have running water ready so that etched board can be removed properly and
rinsed. This will halt etching immediately. Drilling is one of those operations that calls for
great care. For most purposes a 0.5mm drill is used.

COMPONENT DETAILS
9.1 RF Module (Transmitter & Receiver)
Fig 9.1 RF module
The RF module, as the name suggests, operates at Radio Frequency. The
corresponding frequency range varies between 30 kHz & 300 GHz. In this RF system,
the digital data is represented as variations in the amplitude of carrier wave. This kind
of modulation is known as Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK).
Transmission through RF is better than IR (infrared) because of many reasons. Firstly,
signals through RF can travel through larger distances making it suitable for long
range applications. Also, while IR mostly operates in line-of-sight mode, RF signals
can travel even when there is an obstruction between transmitter & receiver. Next, RF
transmission is more strong and reliable than IR transmission. RF communication uses
a specific frequency unlike IR signals which are affected by other IR emitting sources.
This RF module comprises of an RF Transmitter and an RF Receiver. The
transmitter/receiver (Tx/Rx) pair operates at a frequency of 434 MHz. An RF
transmitter receives serial data and transmits it wirelessly through RF through its
antenna connected at pin4. The transmission occurs at the rate of 1Kbps - 10Kbps.The
Department Of Electronics & Communication Engineering 16
Wireless dc motor control through RF
transmitted data is received by an RF receiver operating at the same frequency as that
of the transmitter.
The RF module is often used alongwith a pair of encoder/decoder. The encoder is used
for encoding parallel data for transmission feed while reception is decoded by a
decoder. HT12E-HT12D, HT640-HT648, etc. are some commonly used
encoder/decoder pair ICs.

9.4 ENCODER
An encoder is a device, circuit, transducer, software program, algorithm or person
that converts information from one format or code to another, for the purposes of
standardization, speed, secrecy, security, or saving space by shrinking size.
It is useful to be able to guarantee certain characteristics about the information that
gets sent across the serial link. These are specific properties that are desirable:
Large transition density
The greater the transition density, the more chances there are for the receiver to
synchronize to the data. With many transitions, a receiver can implement a
voting scheme and synchronize with a greater accuracy.
Department Of Electronics & Communication Engineering 18
Wireless dc motor control through RF
Minimum transition density
Besides having a high average transition density, it is useful to guarantee that
every word transmitted on the serial link contains a minimum number of
transitions.
Error detection
Although error detection must also be implemented on a higher level, it can be
useful to have a scheme that is able to detect certain types of errors in the
physical layer of the link.
Predefined comma characters
Out-of-band characters are useful for transmitting metadata and for
synchronization purposes. A useful comma sequence must be singular (that is,
it must not appear in any sequence of valid data bits, including overlapped data
characters), and must occur with a uniform alignment relative to byte
boundaries.

General Description
The 212 encoders are a series of CMOS LSIs for remote control system applications.
They are capable of encoding information which consists of N address bits and 12_N
data bits. Each address/
data input can be set to one of the two logic states. The programmed addresses/data are
transmitted together with the header bits via an RF or an infrared transmission medium
upon receipt of a trigger signal. The capability to select a TE trigger on the HT12E or
a DATA trigger on the HT12A further enhances the application flexibility of the 212
series of encoders. The HT12A additionally provides a 38kHz carrier for infrared
systems.
9.5 DECODER
A decoder is a device which does the reverse of an encoder, undoing the encoding so
that the original information can be retrieved. The same method used to encode is
usually just reversed in order to decode.
In digital electronics, a decoder can take the form of a multiple-input, multiple-
output logic circuit that converts coded inputs into coded outputs, where the input and
output codes are different. e.g. n-to-2n, binary-coded decimal decoders. Enable inputs
must be on for the decoder to function, otherwise its outputs assume a single
"disabled" output code word. Decoding is necessary in applications such as
data multiplexing, 7 segment display and memory address decoding.
The example decoder circuit would be an AND gate because the output of an AND
gate is "High" (1) only when all its inputs are "High." Such output is called as "active
High output". If instead of AND gate, the NAND gate is connected the output will be
"Low" (0) only when all its inputs are "High". Such output is called as "active low
output".
A slightly more complex decoder would be the n-to-2n type binary decoders. These
type of decoders are combinational circuits that convert binary information from 'n'
coded inputs to a maximum of 2n unique outputs. We say a maximum of 2n outputs
because in case the 'n' bit coded information has unused bit combinations, the decoder
may have less than 2n outputs. We can have 2-to-4 decoder, 3-to-8 decoder or 4-to-16
Department Of Electronics & Communication Engineering 21
Wireless dc motor control through RF
decoder. We can form a 3-to-8 decoder from two 2-to-4 decoders (with enable
signals).
Similarly, we can also form a 4-to-16 decoder by combining two 3-to-8 decoders. In
this type of circuit design, the enable inputs of both 3-to-8 decoders originate from a
4th input, which acts as a selector between the two 3-to-8 decoders. This allows the
4th input to enable either the top or bottom decoder, which produces outputs of D(0)
through D(7) for the first decoder, and D(8) through D(15) for the second decoder.
A decoder that contains enable inputs is also known as a decoder-demultiplexer. Thus,
we have a 4-to-16 decoder produced by adding a 4th input shared among both
decoders, producing 16 outputs.
Fig 9.4 pin diagram of HT12D
To guarantee these characteristics, an encoder/decoder is used. The encoder takes in
incoming data along with some metadata (such as a signal that indicates whether the
incoming data represents actual data or control characters) and produces an encoded
value which is then transmitted on the link. Similarly, the decoder takes the values
from the link and produces the original value, along with some information such as
whether the incoming character contains any errors, and whether it represents a data or
control character.

General Description
The 212 decoders are a series of CMOS LSIs for remote control system applications.
They are paired with Holtek_s 212 series of encoders (refer to the encoder/decoder
cross reference table). For proper operation, a pair of encoder/decoder with the same
number of addresses and data format should be chosen. The decoders receive serial
addresses and data from a programmed 212 series of encoders that are transmitted by a
carrier using an RF or an IR transmission medium. They compare the serial input data
three times continuously with their local addresses. If no error or unmatched codes are
found, the input data codes are decoded and then transferred to the output pins. The
VT pin also goes high to indicate a valid transmission. The 212 series of decoders are

9.6 RESISTOR
Resistance is a property of material due to which it opposes the flow of current through it.
When electrons flow through any material, they collide with each other which gives rise to opposition to the flow of current.The unit of resistor is ohm(Ω).
The resistance of a conductor will be 1Ω when it allows 1 A current to flow through it on application of 1 V across its material.
The resistance of conducting material is found to …
1. be directly proportional to the length l of the material,
2. be inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of the material.
3. depend on the nature of material.
4. depend upon the temperature.

9.7 DC POWER SUPPLY
Department Of Electronics & Communication Engineering 24
Wireless dc motor control through RF
A power supply is an electronic device that supplies electric energy to an electrical load.
The primary function of a power supply is to convert one form of electrical energy to
another and, as a result, power supplies are sometimes referred to as electric power
converters. Some power supplies are discrete, stand-alone devices, whereas others are
built into larger devices along with their loads. Examples of the latter include power
supplies found in desktop computers and consumer electronics devices.

9.8 LED
A light-emitting diode (LED) is a two- lead semiconductor light source. It is a p–n
junction diode, which emits light when activated. When a suitable voltage is applied to
Department Of Electronics & Communication Engineering 25
Wireless dc motor control through RF
the leads, electrons are able to recombine with electron holes within the device, releasing
energy in the form of photons. This effect is called electroluminescence, and the color of
the light (corresponding to the energy of the photon) is determined by the energy band
gap of the semiconductor .An LED is often small in area (less than 1 mm2) and integrated
optical components may be used to shape its radiation pattern. Appearing as practical
electronic components in 1962, the earliest LEDs emitted low-intensity infrared light.
Infrared LEDs are still frequently used as transmitting elements in remote-control circuits,
such as those in remote controls for a wide variety of consumer electronics. The first
visible-light LEDs were also of low intensity, and limited to red. Modern LEDs are
available across the visible ,ultraviolet , and infrared wavelengths, with very high
brightness.Early LEDs were often used as indicator lamps for electronic devices, replacing
small incandescent bulbs. They were soon packaged into numeric readouts in the form of
seven-segment displays, and were commonly seen in digital clocks.Recent developments
in LEDs permit them to be used in environmental and task lighting. LEDs have many
advantages over incandescent light sources including lower energy consumption, longer
lifetime, improved physical robustness, smaller size, and faster switching. Light-emitting
diodes are now used in applications as diverse as aviation lighting, automotive
headlamps, advertising, general lighting, traffic signals, camera flashes and even LED
wallpaper. As of 2015, LEDs powerful enough for room lighting remain somewhat more
expensive, and require more precise current and heatmanagement, than compact
fluorescent lamp sources of comparable output.LEDs have allowed new text, video
displays, and sensors to be developed, while their high switching rates are also useful
in advanced communications technology.

9.9 TRANSISTOR
A transistor is a semiconductor device to amplify and switch electronic signals and Department Of Electronics & Communication Engineering 26

electrical power. It is composed of semiconductor material with at least three
terminals for connection to an external circuit. A voltage or current applied to one pair
of the transistor's terminals changes the current through another pair of terminals.
Because the controlled (output) power can be higher than the controlling (input)
power, a transistor can amplify a signal. Today, some transistors are packaged
individually, but many more are found embedded in integrated circuits.
The transistor is the fundamental building block of modern electronic devices, and is
ubiquitous in modern electronic systems. Following its development in 1947 by
American physicists John Bardeen, Walter Brattain, and William Shockley, the
transistor revolutionized the field of electronics, and paved the way for smaller and
cheaper radios, calculators, and computers, among other things.

9.10 CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR
A crystal oscillator is an electronic oscillator circuit that uses the mechanical
resonance of a vibrating crystal of piezoelectric material to create an electrical signal
with a precise frequency. This frequency is commonly used to keep track of time, as
in quartz wristwatches, to provide a stable clock signal for digital integrated circuits,
and to stabilize frequencies for radio transmitters and receivers. The most common
type of piezoelectric resonator used is the quartz crystal, so oscillator circuits
incorporating them became known as crystal oscillators but other piezoelectric
materials including polycrystalline ceramics are used in similar circuits.
Quartz crystals are manufactured for frequencies from a few tens of kilohertz to
hundreds of megahertz. More than two billion crystals are manufactured annually.
Most are used for consumer devices such as wristwatches, clocks, radios, computers,
and cellphones. Quartz crystals are also found inside test and measurement
equipment, such as counters, signal generators, and oscilloscopes.

9.11 VOLTAGE REGULATOR
A voltage regulator is designed to automatically maintain a constant voltage level. A
voltage regulator may be a simple "feed-forward" design or may include negative
feedback control loops. It may use an electromechanical mechanism, or electronic
components. Depending on the design, it may be used to regulate one or more AC or
DC voltages.
Electronic voltage regulators are found in devices such as computer power supplies
where they stabilize the DC voltages used by the processor and other elements. In
automobile alternators and central power station generator plants, voltage regulators
control the output of the plant. In an electric power distribution system, voltage
regulators may be installed at a substation or along distribution lines so that all
customers receive steady voltage independent of how much power is drawn from the line.

IDEAS WHICH COULD NOT BE IMPLEMENTED
In future the circuit can be enhanced by connecting a robotics to the circuit so that in
industrial area when a machine crosses the motors, we can inform the control robot by
sending a signal to control robot manager so that damages to the machine can be
avoided by disconnecting the equipment with wireless technology. In the same
manner we can also implement the solar power supply technology for supplying the
voltage to the motor, microcontroller and to the motor but we cannot implement this
technology. We can also implement the wireless connection and remove the wired
from the circuit .

CONCLUSION
Once again, everything worked as it was suppose to. You can control a dc motor
using the wireless So this just about brings the tutorial to a close. I would like to take
a moment to say that there are a few tiny things that I may have missed or skipped
while talking about this topic. Feel free to contact me if you feel something is missing
that abosultely should be here.. Be aware there are many, many different types of
motor controller ic's out there. It would be wise to look at some of them and even try
using them to see the different functionality that they offer. Along side looking at
different motor controllers, it would also be a good idea to look at different types of
motors. Some would be: Stepper Motors & Servo Motors. We will have tutorials from
controlling these motors coming in the future.
So this just about brings the tutorial to a close. I would like to take a moment to say
