Radio frequency technology based wireless speed and direction control of an industrial DC motor

Abstract

This project is about radio frequency technology based wireless speed and direction control of an industrial dc motor. In this project, aim is to build a prototype circuit that is capable of controlling the speed and direction of a dc motor with convenience and ease from a remote location while also ensuring that the design is as low cost as possible. During the course of this project, we have used various methods in order to meet our intended objectives. These include literature reviews, simulation of the virtual circuit in proteus design suite, programming using the Thonny IDE and Micro-python programming language and lastly a full operational prototype has been successively built. The prototype involved soldering and connecting up the various circuit components. Key results include; developing of an accurate program in micro python for the speed and direction control of the dc motor, component identification, transferring of the code on to the raspberry Pi Pico board (burning), simulation of the circuit in proteus design suite before hardware implementation, and lastly soldering and connecting up of the hardware.
