Project 1 - Controlling a DC motor using PWM and monitoring its Running status

// This code will control the speed and direction of a DC motor using the L293 motor driver.

// The speed of the motor can be controlled by changing the value of the `pwm` variable.

The direction of the motor can be controlled by changing the value of the `direction` variable.

Define the pins that the motor is connected to.

const int motorPin1 = 10;

const int motorPin2 = 11;

// Define the pin that the LCD display is connected to.

const int lcdPin = 12;

// Initialize the motor driver.

L293 motorDriver(motorPin1, motorPin2);

// Initialize the LCD display.

LiquidCrystal lcd(lcdPin, 2, 1, 0, 4, 5, 6, 7);

void setup() {

// Set the motor driver to PWM mode.

motorDriver.setMode(PWM);

// Initialize the LCD display.

lcd.begin(16, 2);

}

void loop() {

// Read the value of the `pwm` variable.

int pwm = analogRead(A0);

// Set the motor speed to the value of the `pwm` variable.

motorDriver.setSpeed(pwm);

// Read the value of the `direction` variable.

int direction = digitalRead(A1);

// Set the motor direction to the value of the `direction` variable.

motorDriver.setDirection(direction);

// Print the current running status of the motor to the LCD display.

lcd.print("Motor is running");

if (direction == LOW) {

lcd.print(" in the forward direction");

} else {

lc

d.print(" in the reverse direction");

}
