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

Ans:  Controlling a Dc motor using PWM and monitoring its running status.

Overview of the Project: 

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.

Goals:

  • Implement a system on simulator for Controlling the DC motor using L293 motor driver.
  • Displaying the running status of DC motor on the LCD display.

Key Highlights of the Project:

  • The DC motor can be controlled by using L293 motor driver.
  • The speed of a DC motor can be controlled by varying its input voltage, for doing this is to use PWM (Pulse Width Modulation).
  • L293D IC is a typical Motor Driver IC which allows the DC motor to drive on any direction.

Expected Outcomes: 

  • Implement a system on simulator to control a DC motor using PMW
  • Monitoring the running status of the DC motor using L293 motor driver which allows the DC motor to drive on any direction.
  • Running status i.e. on which direction the DC motor is running is to be displayed on the LCD screen.

Implement outcome : motor is in OFF condition: 

Implement outcome : motor rotates in Clockwise Direction: 

Implement outcome : motor rotates in Anti-Clockwise Direction:
