Motor Driver Module

Project Overview

The Motor Driver Module project demonstrates how to control a DC motor using an Arduino Mega and a motor driver module (such as L298N). This setup allows you to control the speed and direction of the motor using PWM signals and digital outputs from the Arduino.

Components Needed

  • Arduino Mega
  • Motor Driver Module (e.g., L298N)
  • DC Motor
  • Power Supply (for the motor and motor driver)
  • Jumper Wires

Block Diagram

Circuit Setup

  1. Connect the Motor Driver Module to Arduino Mega:
    • Motor Pins (Output 1 and Output 2): Connect to the respective input pins of the motor driver module.
    • Enable Pin (PWM): Connect to the enable pin of the motor driver module for speed control.
    • Power Supply: Connect appropriate power supply (motor voltage) to the motor driver module.
    • GND: Connect GND of the motor driver module to GND of Arduino Mega.

Instructions

  1. Circuit Setup:

    • Connect the motor driver module and DC motor to the Arduino Mega as described in the circuit setup section.
  2. Code Upload:

    • Open the Arduino IDE and create a new sketch.
    • Copy and paste the provided Arduino code into the sketch.
    • Upload the code to the Arduino Mega.
  3. Testing:

    • Open the Serial Monitor in the Arduino IDE (set to 9600 baud).
    • Observe the Serial Monitor for motor operation feedback:
      • Motor forward: Motor rotates in one direction (clockwise).
      • Motor backward: Motor rotates in the opposite direction (counter-clockwise).
      • Motor stopped: Motor halts its rotation.

Applications

  • Robotics Projects: Control motors for movement and navigation.
  • Automation Systems: Drive mechanical components in automated setups.
  • DIY Electronics: Build custom motor-driven projects and devices.

Notes

  • Ensure the motor driver module is rated appropriately for your motor's voltage and current requirements.
  • Adjust the PWM value (speed variable) to control the motor speed.
  • Customize the motor control functions (motorControl function) for specific applications or additional functionalities.
