The project is designed to control the speed of a DC motor using an 8051 series microcontroller with android application device. The speed of DC motor is directly proportional to the voltage applied across its terminals. Hence, if voltage across motor terminal is varied, then speed can also be varied.
This project uses the above principle to control the speed of the motor by varying the duty cycle of the pulse applied to it (popularly known as PWM control). Remote operation is achieved by any smart-phone/Tablet etc., with Android OS, upon a GUI (Graphical User Interface) based touch screen operation .The project uses Bluetooth device (Bluetooth module HC-05), interfaced to the microcontroller, which is used for wireless control of the speed of motor. PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) is generated at the output by the microcontroller as per the program. The program can be written in Assembly language or in Embedded C.
