DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF UNIVERSAL MOTOR CONTROL USING IR REMOTE AND ARDUINO

Abstract - The main objective in the paper is to control on DC motors due to its significant advantages over other types of machine drives. In industry, DC motor is widely uses for speed control and load characteristics. This research paper shows the methodology to interface stepper, servo and DC motor on a single platform. IR (Infrared remote control) is implemented to control all motors. Speed of DC motor is controlled by IR remote and H -BRIDGE respectively. Stepper motor is controlled by ULN2003 current driver and servo motor is controlled by Arduino controller. In a nut shell, all the motors are controlled using IR remote and Arduino controller.From the research it can be concluded that the system can drive different motors such as DC motors, stepper motor and a servo motor using the single hardware unit. Actually, the system is very simple, less power consumption, cost-effective and compatible because of operating under different atmospheric conditions using IR remote.IR communication, most useful application, is implemented in this system for wireless technology. Thus, the system is very suitable for reliable equipment to control different sets of motors
