1. INTRODUCTION

OVERVIEW AND DESIGN STEPS

Aim of the project is to use a mobile phone to control a robotic arm mounted on a land rover.

Provides robust control, large working range and upto 12 controls.

Control of robot involves 3 different phases:- 1. Perception 2. Processing 3. Action

1. PRECEPTION

First part is the decoding of DTMF tone generated by pressing a key in calling phone.

Audio signal output from receiving phone is fed to DTMF decoder chip.

Decoder chip converts DTMF tone into binary codes to be fed to microcontroller.

CM8870 IC used as DTMF decoder in our project

2. PROCESSING

After preception stage, microcontroller processes the binary codes it receives.

Microcontroller is pre-programmed in “C” to perform specific task according to input bits.

Atmel’s ATmega16 is used for processing.

Program is written using AVR Studio and uploaded using “SuperPro”.

3. ACTION

Final stage is rotation of motors based on input given by the microcontroller.

Two DC motors of 30 rpm are used for the land rover and three servo motors of Futaba S3003 are used for robotic arm

DC motors are driven by motor driver IC L293D.

Servo motors are driven by PWM generated by the microcontroller.

2. DTMF SIGNALS AND DTMF DECODING CIRCUIT

DTMF “Dual Tone Multiple-Frequency”.

Signals generated by the superposition of two pure sinusoidal tones. Commonly used for telephone signalling over the line in the voice-frequency band, to the call switching center.

Developed as a very reliable alternative to pulse-dialing.

DTMF represents numbers/digits as voice signals.

The 12-keys numeric pad. 0 to 9 keys ‘*’ and ‘#’ keys

DTMF assigns a unique ‘sound’ to each key

Keys are arranged in a matrix of 3 columns and 4 rows.

Grouping of FrequenciesGrouping of Frequencies

The DTMF signal generated is the sum of twosinusoidal tones.

Tone frequencies, are defined by the Precise Tone Plan.

• Harmonics and intermodulation products will not cause an unreliable signal

• No frequency is a multiple of another.

• No frequency is the sum or difference of 2 other frequencies.

Communication OverviewCommunication Overview

CM8870 is a very commonly used chip for DTMF decoding.

It is a state of the art single chip DTMF receiver incorporating switched capacitor filter technology and an advanced digital counting/averaging algorithm for period measurement.

Limitation on number of function codesLimitation on number of function codes

12 DTMF tones are available to us (using a common touch-tone phone).

Number of functions may be extended to 144 by programming the microcontroller to accept two codes instead of one.

Two key presses will be required from the control mobile phone.

Advantages of using theAdvantages of using theDTMF communication schemeDTMF communication scheme

Working range is as large as the coverage area. Problems due to Harmonics and their interference are eliminated. Only one tone per group is allowed. This eliminates reception of erroneous codes. DTMF tones if received from external sources, are neglected by amplitude comparison of the two tones. Simple usage, and short numeric codes for control.

INTERFACING CIRCUIT USED IN PROJECT

4. SERVO AND DC MOTOR CONTROL

SERVO MOTOR CONTROL USING PWM SIGNALS

A servo consists of a dc motor, gear train, potentiometer, and some control circuitry all mounted compactly in a case.

Shaft rotation at relatively slow speeds. Easily controlled by a microcontroller. 3 wires: white, red, and black

White - control signal, red - power (usually 4.8 V to 6 V), black - ground.

The control circuitry inside the servo must receive a stream of pulses whose widths may vary between about 1 and 2 ms.

A potentiometer coupled to the rotation of the output shaft produces a voltage corresponding to the angle of the shaft.

The control circuitry compares the “average” voltage of the control signal with the voltage from the potentiometer, and the shaft rotates until the two voltages are the same.

DC MOTOR CONTROLLER: L293D

Microcontroller output is not sufficient to drive DC motors so L293D is used.

L293D comes in 16-pin DIP. It can provide currents upto 600mA at voltages from 4.5V to 36V.

It can be used to drive inductive loads such as relays, solenoids etc and bipolar stepper motors.

In the project it is used for simultaneous bi-directional control of two DC motors.
