Bluetooth and ARM Cortex Based Electric Car Controlling System


Electric cars have already hit the roads and have marked the beginning of electric vehicle era. Here we design an improved electric vehicle that is made to tackle urban traffic problems and also provide accurate speed control without gearing system. Also it is a zero emission, earth friendly vehicle. Our proposed vehicle has been designed on an android interface and demonstrates accurate speed controlling as well as easy turning functionality for electrical vehicles using four motor drive system. Here we use an android device interface to control the vehicle. The device allows the user to send commands through an android device via Bluetooth connection. The circuit system consists of a Bluetooth receiver connected to ARM cortex. The ARM is also interfaced to four motors, and uses a battery to supply 12V power supply. On receiving the commands the ARM processor processes user sent instructions. If turning instructions are found the system turns vehicle with synchronized speed at regular RPM. Also for directional movement commands it operates motors to achieve desired motion. When user varies the speed of motors, the board varies PWM signals to be sent to each motor. Based on user commands the processor simultaneously sends PWM signals to operate individual motors with desired speeds and achieve desired movement.

IoT Based Contact less Tachometer with Speed Control Using AVR Microcontroller and Hall Effect Sensor

Image
ABSTRACT Tachometer is device used to count the revolutions per minute of a rotating shaft. Generally tachometer makes direct contact with the rotating shaft. It will reduce the velocity of the shaft, giving faulty readings. Hence it is needed to measure the speed of rotating shaft without direct contact. This project describes a contact -less tachometer using AVR microcontroller ATmega328P and a hall affect sensor. This device can very accurately measure the rotational speed of a shaft without even touching it. This device is built on an ATmega328P microcontroller, an alpha-numeric LCD module and a Hall Effect sensor to detect the rotation of the shaft whose speed is being measured. In this project Hall Effect sensor acts as a digital counting device. It will detect any magnetic element passing in front of it and thus, will give an output pulse for each and every rotation of the shaft. These pulses are fed to microcontroller. Microcontroller counts the pulses coming from Ha

Arduino Based Solar Cell Parameter Measurement System

Image
The project is  designed  to  measures different solar cell parameters like light intensity, voltage, current and temperature by using multiple sensor data acquisition. The project uses a solar panel to monitor sunlight and Arduino board which has ATmega family microcontroller attached to it. The project requires an LDR sensor for measuring light intensity, a voltage divider to measure voltage and a temperature sensor to measure the temperature. These measurements are then displayed by the microcontroller to a LCD screen. Thus this system allows user to effectively monitor solar parameters using this system.
