Course Code: CPE014
Course Title: Embedded Systems
Section:
Members:

1. Objective(s):
This activity aims to introduce the concept of DC Motor Control using a microcontroller.
2. Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs):
After performing the laboratory activity, the students should be able to:
2.1 Implement the circuit and write the program for light and temperature sensors
2.2 Graph/Plot the data being read from the sensors
3. Discussion:
Actuators convert electric signals to another form of energy.

Some of the different types of actuators you would encounter or already have
encountered:
• Light Actuators
• Sound Actuators
• Force, Displacement, and Motion Actuators
• Heat Actuators

Motors are also the driving force behind lots of useful products such as water pumps,
linear actuators, and robotics systems. DC Motors are extensively used in precision
position-control systems and other electronic systems, particularly in low-power
applications. This activity will focus on DC motor control using Transistors and an
Integrated Motor Driver Circuit.
4. Materials and Equipment:

Arduino UNO Board with USB Cable

Desktop Computer with Arduino IDE
IRF520 (N-Channel MOSFET)
L293D (Motor Driver IC)
Brushed DC Motor
Breadboard
Connecting Wires

5. Procedure:

6. Data and Code Analysis:

7. Supplement
ary Activity: Tasks
1. Using the MOSFET transistor only, implement the circuit and code that
would control the speed of the Motor.
2. Using the L293D, modify the given code and circuit (remove the
potentiometer) so that the motor would be able to support two modes of
modulated speed using one button only.
