Abstract— There are lots of good-quality motors with the field of power electronics and drives, on the basis of
varieties of speed controls is available in the market. which, they have published several articles.
However, their costs are relatively high. A speed control
with both low cost and good performance will be highly The researchers have given several theoretical,

accelerate and decelerate. The source of the speed
control is a 12 V battery and control currents over a
range of 0 to 50 A. The controller has a high efficiency
for motor loads in the range of 50 to 150 W. It should
deliver the nominal power continuously and be able to
tolerate slight overloading for a short period of time. For
strong overloading, it should protect the motor from
being damaged for a few seconds, then shut down the
motor and request a reset from the user simultaneously.
Finally, the total parts cost of the converter does not to
exceed $12.
Almost every mechanical movement that we see around
us is accomplished by an electric motor. Electric
machines are a means of converting energy. Motors take
electrical energy and produce mechanical energy.
Electric motors are used to power hundreds of devices
we use in everyday life. Motors come in various sizes.
Huge motors that can take loads of 1000’s of
Horsepower are typically used in the industry. Some
examples of large motor applications include elevators,
electric trains, hoists, and heavy metal rolling mills.
Examples of small motor applications include motors
used in automobiles, robots, hand power tools and food
blenders. Micro-machines are electric machines with

Obviously there exists many applications where there
might be a need to control the speed of dc motors. There
exist many ways of controlling the speed of DC motor.
Of the available ones, PWM technique is the most
efficient one and the same technique is used here in this
project. TX. By pressing the keys available at the RF TX
the speed of the DC motor is varied by making use of
the PWM technique.

A.TRANSMITTER SECTION
The Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on
the ATmega328. It has 14 digital input/output pins (of
which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs,
a 16 MHz ceramic resonator, a USB connection, a Fig 5.5 Flow Chart for transmitter
power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button.
It contains everything needed to support the
microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a
USB cable or power it with a AC-to-DC adapter or
battery to get started.

There are a couple of other pins on the board:

AREF: Reference voltage for the analog inputs. Used
with analog Reference ().
Reset: Bring this line LOW to reset the microcontroller.
Typically used to add a reset button to shields which
block the one on the board. See also the mapping
between Arduino pins and ATmega328 ports. The
mapping for the Atmega8, 168, and 328 is identical
Communication: The Arduino Uno has a number of
facilities for communicating with a computer, another
Arduino, or other microcontrollers. The ATmega328
provides UART TTL (5V) serial communication, which
is available on digital pins 0 (RX) and 1 (TX). An
C. TABLE FOR SPEED CONTROL RANGE ATmega16U2 on the board channels this serial
communication over USB and appears as a virtual com
port to software on the computer. The '16U2 firmware
uses the standard USB COM drivers, and no external
driver is needed. However, on Windows, a .inf file is
required. The Arduino software includes a serial monitor
which allows simple textual data to be sent to and from
the Arduino board. The RX and TX LEDs on the board
will flash when data is being transmitted via the USB-to-
serial chip and USB connection to the computer (but not
for serial communication on pins 0 and 1).
A Software Serial library allows for serial
communication on any of the Uno's digital pins. The
ATmega328 also supports I2C (TWI) and SPI
communication. The Arduino software includes a Wire
library to simplify use of the I2C bus; see the
documentation for details. For SPI communication, use
the SPI library.

capacitor.
When this line is asserted (taken low), the reset line
drops long enough to reset the chip. The Arduino
software uses this capability to allow you to upload code
by simply pressing the upload button in the Arduino
environment. This means that the boot loader can have a
shorter timeout, as the lowering of DTR can be well-
coordinated with the start of the upload.
