FYP 2 - Week 8

Title of activity :
- Arduino Programme

Objective :
- Planning on creating the arduino programme/coding and testing for motor application.

Content :

Troubleshooting the circuit and recreating the programme/coding for arduino.

By troubleshooting, the application for dc motor work according to plan. Both of dc motor can  be rotate clockwise and counter clockwise with the option of right or left motor that need to be rotate.

FYP 2 - Week 7

Title of activity :
- Arduino Programme

Objective :
- Planning on creating the arduino programme/coding and testing for motor application.

Content :

After going through research and study about the way  arduino and dc motor system connected to bluetooth module and motor driver, i have develop the coding needed and the result are not as what i have expected. The dc motor are  not rotate as the way i wanted it to be. Many research need to be done in order to understand more about this system.

FYP 2 - Week 6

The Circuit

Objective: Construction of project basic circuit

Analysis/Discussion:

Component used :

• Bluetooth module HC-06
• Motor driver IC L293D
• DC motor
• Arduino Uno

This Bluetooth module can easily achieve serial wireless data transmission. Its operating frequency is among the most popular 2.4GHz ISM frequency band (i.e. Industrial, scientific and medical). It adopts Bluetooth 2.0+EDR standard. In Bluetooth 2.0, signal transmit time of different devices stands at a 0.5 seconds interval so that the workload of bluetooth chip can be reduced substantially and more sleeping time can be saved for bluetooth. This module is set with serial interface, which is easy to use and simplifies the overall design/development cycle.

L293D is a typical Motor driver or Motor Driver IC which allows DC motor to drive on either direction. L293D is a 16-pin IC which can control a set of two DC motors simultaneously in any direction.
