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

Project-1:

Aim: Implement a system on the simulator for controlling a DC motor using L293 motor driver, monitor its status and print the running status of motor on the LCD Display.

Explanation:

Schematic Circuit:

Here, We are using the At mega 32 microcontrollers and it has 4 ports (PORT A, B, C, D) and the Lcd panel is used to monitor the activity state of the motor. The L293 motor driver circuit is used to run the dc motor and the dc motor is connected to the L293 motor driver circuit. the power switch is connected to port c pin 3 to turn on and off the power supply. LCD panel (D4-D7) is connected to Port B pins (B4-B7). The speed-controlled push button is connected to port D and pin D2. and the direction-controlled switch is connected to a 5v supply at one end and another end is connected to port D pin D1. In the Lcd, rs pin is connected to pin D4, and enable pin is connected to pin D6, read and write pin is connected to the ground pin.

When we pressed the power on switch it will provide the power supply to the microcontroller and the direction control switch is open means the motor will run in a clockwise direction, if the direction controller switch is closed means that the motor will rotate in an anti-clockwise direction and speed controller push button is used to control the speed of the motor using the delay for very instant.

Configuring Timer0 for PWM generation

It is simple to configure PWM mode in Timer. We just need to set some bits in the TCCR0 register.

TCCR0: Timer Counter Control Register 0

Bit 7- FOC0: Force compare match

Write only bit, which can be used while generating a wave. Writing 1 to this bit will force the wave generator to act as if a compare match has occurred.

Bit 2:0 - CS02:CS00: Clock Source Select

These bits are used to select a clock source. When CS02: CS00 = 000, then timer is stopped. As it gets a value between 001 to 101, it gets a clock source and starts as the timer.

Fast PWM mode

To set Fast PWM mode, we have to set WGM00: 01= 11. To generate a PWM waveform on the OC0 pin, we need to set COM01:00= 10 or 11.

COM01:00= 10 will generate a Noninverting PWM output waveform and COM01:00= 11 will generate Inverting PWM output waveform.

Setting Duty cycle: we have to load the value in the OCR0 register to set the duty cycle.

255 value for 100% duty cycle and 0 for 0% duty cycle. Accordingly, if we load value 127 in OCR0, the Duty cycle will be 50%.

POWER SWITCH= ON and DIRECTION CONTROL SWITCH = OFF

POWER SWITCH= ON and DIRECTION CONTROL SWITCH = OFF, SPEED CONTROL PUSH BUTTON = HIGH (FOR EVERY 1 PRESS THE SPEED WILL INCREASES) IN CLOCK WISE DIRECTION

POWER SWITCH= ON and DIRECTION CONTROL SWITCH = ON

POWER SWITCH= ON and DIRECTION CONTROL SWITCH = OFF, SPEED CONTROL PUSH BUTTON = HIGH (FOR EVERY 1 PRESS THE SPEED WILL INCREASES) IN ANTI-CLOCK WISE DIRECTION
