Project Details

1) The application of L298N motor driver board

For the instruction for L298N driver board please refer to (L298N dual-H bridge DC motor driver board manual). Some of you still don't know how to control dual DC motor. Here are the details.


thumb

For the VMS driver part, power supply can be external power source, generally about 9V. For the logic part, power supply can be from the board internally; with terminals in suspense state, they can also be connected to +5V to +7V power. The three pins between each terminal are used to control the dual DC motor. EA and EB are connected to Arduino PWM interface for motor speed regulation. I1, I2, I3, I2 interface, connected to Arduino digital interfaces, are used for controlling the motor going forward, backward, steering and braking. Up until now, the preparatory work is completed. You can begin writing the program now. Here, the program for your reference includes car going straight, backward, turning left, turning right, and braking.


thumb

Program:

int pinI1=5;// define pin  I1
int pinI2=6;// define pin I2
int speedpin=3;// define  pin EA(PWM speed regulation)
int pinI3=10;// define pin I3
int pinI4=11;// define pin I4
int speedpin1=9;// define  pin EB(PWM speed regulation)
void setup()
{
pinMode(pinI1,OUTPUT);
pinMode(pinI2,OUTPUT); 
pinMode(speedpin,OUTPUT);
pinMode(pinI3,OUTPUT);
pinMode(pinI4,OUTPUT); 
pinMode(speedpin1,OUTPUT);
}
void loop()
{
// going straight 
analogWrite(speedpin,100);// input analog value to set the speed
analogWrite(speedpin1,100);
digitalWrite(pinI4,LOW);// make the DC motor turn(right) anti-clockwise
digitalWrite(pinI3,HIGH);
digitalWrite(pinI1,LOW);// make the DC motor turn(left) clockwise
digitalWrite(pinI2,HIGH);
delay(2000);
// going backwards
analogWrite(speedpin,100);// input analog value to set the speed 
analogWrite(speedpin1,100);
digitalWrite(pinI4,HIGH);// make the DC motor turn(right) clockwise
digitalWrite(pinI3,LOW); 
digitalWrite(pinI1,HIGH);//make the DC motor turn(left) anti-clockwise
digitalWrite(pinI2,LOW);
delay(2000);
// turning left
analogWrite(speedpin,60);// input analog value to set the speed 
analogWrite(speedpin1,60);
digitalWrite(pinI4,LOW);// make the DC motor turn(right) anti-clockwise
digitalWrite(pinI3,HIGH);
digitalWrite(pinI1,HIGH);//make the DC motor turn(left) anti-clockwise
digitalWrite(pinI2,LOW);
delay(2000);
// turning right 
analogWrite(speedpin,60);//input analog value to set the speed 
analogWrite(speedpin1,60);
digitalWrite(pinI4,HIGH);//make the DC motor turn(right) clockwise
digitalWrite(pinI3,LOW);
digitalWrite(pinI1,LOW);//make the DC motor turn(left) clockwise
digitalWrite(pinI2,HIGH);
delay(2000);
// braking
digitalWrite(pinI4,HIGH);// make the DC motor brake(right) 
digitalWrite(pinI3,HIGH); 
digitalWrite(pinI1,HIGH);//make the DC motor brake(left) 
digitalWrite(pinI2,HIGH);
delay(2000);
}

Note: in the program, there can be other ways to make the motor turning left or right. You can try it out yourself.


2) Line tracking smart car

Line tracking principle: the working principle of the TCRT5000 infrared double tube is to use the infrared's different reflectivity of different color, and convert the strength of the reflected signal into current signal. For black and white line tracking module, it's high level signal when detecting black line, low level when detecting white line. Detect height is 0-3cm.

Note: you can use a knob potentiometer in the circuit to adjust the sensitivity of this tracking module. TCRT5000 infrared double tube is widely applied in robot design, and industrial manufacture. It can be used for black and white line tracking robot and industrial counting sensors.


thumb

Usage: 1. For the sensor, there are 3 pins, namely GND, VCC, OUT. VCC and GND are for power supply. OUT is for signal output.
2. When it detects an object, the signal end outputs low level; when there is no object detected, the signal end outputs high level.
3. By judging whether the signal output is 0 or 1, it can know whether the object exists.

Performance parameter: 1. Detection distance: about 2cm for white paper floor. Different distance depends on the color difference, farthest for white color.
2. Power supply voltage: 2.5V to 12V, no more than 12V. (note: it is better to use low voltage power supply, high power supply voltage will result in shorter service life of the sensor. 5V power supply is preferred.)
2.Working current: 18~20ma when the supply voltage is 5V. After many tests, when the working current is 18~20ma, the sensor is at its best performance in anti-jamming capability.
3.When it detects an object, the signal end outputs low level; when there is no object detected, the signal end outputs high level.
5. The sensor outputs TTL level; can be directly connected to the IO port of 3.3V or 5V MCU.

Black or white line detecting principle: 1.For color black, it has characteristic of low reflectivity to light. When the surface color is not black, most of the red light the sensor sends will be reflected. The sensor outputs low level 0.
2. If there is black line on a surface, when the sensor is on it, color black has low reflectivity; reflected infrared light is not enough to reach the sensor action level, so the sensor output is still l.
3.To detect the black line, we only need a MCU to determine whether the sensor output is 0 or 1.
4. Detecting principle of white line is the same with black line. When white line is detected, the color surrounding the white line is close to black. We then adjust the adjustable resistor of the infrared sensor; lower the sensitivity until the surrounding color cannot be detected. The sensor can then detect the white line.
thumb

Test program:

int inputpin=7;// definedigital pin 7 as detection port
int val;// define variable
void setup()
{
pinMode(inputpin,INPUT);// set digital pin 7 as output
Serial.begin(9600);// set baud rate at 9600 for the serial port
}
void loop()
{
val=digitalRead(inputpin);// read the value of the digital port
Serial.println(val);// output the value of the digital port
}

Line tracking smart car After some basic knowledge of line tracking module, let’s make our own line tracking smart car. This design of line tracking car system is base on Arduino . It includes software and hardware design. The controller unit of the car is Arduino UNO, using infrared photoelectric sensor to detect the black track and feedback the information to the Arduino board. Arduino board will have analysis of the acquired information, timely control the driver motor to adjust the moving direction of the car. So the car can drive automatically along the black track, realizing the line tracking function. the system design is as below figure 1-1.


thumb

Car tracking principle:here, tracking means the car will move along the black line on the white floor. Because the black line and the white floor has different reflection coefficient, the track can be determine by the strength of the reflected light. Usually, it adopts the method of infrared detection. That is to use infrared ray's feature of reflection over different color. When the car is driving, it will continually emit infrared ray to the ground. When the infrared ray encounters the floor made of white paper. It will be reflected. The reflected ray will be received by the receiver of the car. If it encounters the black track, infrared ray will be absorbed so the receiver won't receive infrared ray. The microcontroller will determine the location of the black line and the moving direction of the car. Note that the detection rage of the infrared detector is limited.

The control system of the line tracking car consists of a main control circuit module, power supply module, infrared detecting module, motor, and a driver module. The control system design is as below figure 2-1.

Flow chart of line tracking car: When the car enters the tracking mode, it begins constantly scanning I/O port of the MCU. When the I/O port picks up a signal, it will enter the processing; firstly determine which detector detects the black line.

5) Bluetooth smart car controlled by mobile phone


thumb

keyestudio Bluetooh XBee Bluetooth wireless module HC-06 adopts XBEE design. It has features of compact size, compatible with XBEE shield, and suitable for various 3.3V MCU systems. The module can use AT command to set baud rate and master/slave mode. The default settings are baud rate 9600, paring password 1234, slave mode.

It comes with efficient on-board antenna. The exposed antenna ensures better signal quality and longer transmitting distance. Transparent serial port can be used to pair up with various Bluetooth adapters, Bluetooth phones. The humanized design offers convenience for secondary development. After testing, the module is known to be suitable in using with all Bluetooth adapters on the market (PC and phones with Bluetooth) .

Now, let’s move on to program. I’ll enter “r” and after Arduino receives my command “r”, the LED in PIN 13 will flicker and print character of “keyes”. The program is as follows:

char val;
int ledpin=13; void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600); pinMode(ledpin,OUTPUT);
}
void loop()
{
val=Serial.read(); if(val=='r')
{
digitalWrite(ledpin,HIGH); delay((500); digitalWrite(ledpin,LOW); delay(500); Serial.println("keyes");
}
}

Now, let’s figure out how to make programmable smart car to go forward, backward, turning left or right via arduino bluetooth remote control. There are two ways to control the movement of smart car, by PC or mobile phone (The phone operating system must support Android 2.3.7 or later version and PC must carry bluetooth). The phone should be paired with bluetooth car during initial use (no need to locate wireless device after first pairing). Please check the following steps for first paring:

1. Don’t forget to turn on the bluetooth function of the phone. The software will remind users to turn on bluetooth function when the software is started.
2. Connect bluetooth device according to the text instructions on the photo. Please scan and pair with bluetooth device, otherwise, you would fail to connect with smart car.
3. The code for pairing with the smart car is “1234”, go try it!
