L293D MOTOR DRIVER

L293D is a typical Motor driver or a IC which allows DC motor to drive either

direction.L293D is a 16-pin IC which can control a set of two DC motors
simultaneously in any direction.

Why we use it?

L293D is a medium power motor driver perfect for driving DC motors . we can
give maximum power to DC motors by this module by simultaneously. Motor
driver is basically a current amplifier which takes a low-current signal from the
microcontroller and gives out a proportionally higher current signal which can
control and drive a motor.

How to use it?

This is a motor driver IC that can drive two motor simultaneously. Supply voltage
(Vss) is the voltage at which motor drive. Generally, 6V for dc motor and 6 to 12V
for gear motor are used, depending upon the rating of the motor. Logical Supply
(SIGNALS) Voltage deciding what value of input voltage should be considered as
high or low By the Arduino board .So if the logical supply voltage equals to +5V,
then -0.3V to 1.5V will be considered as Input low voltage and 2.3V to 5V is taken
into consider as Input High Voltage. The Enable 1 and Enable 2 are the input pin
for the PWM led speed control for the motor L293D has 2 Channels .One channel
is used for one motor .then the motors will work according to the micro controller
signals.
How many there are?
We only one motor module is used for our line following robot. Then we can turn
reverse and drive our robot by giving power to motors by simultaneously. In the
market we can buy different type of motor controllers. (ex/=4,6 channel outputs)
 BLUETOOTH CONTROLLER
Bluetooth wireless technology is a short range of communications technology
intended for replace cables. which is a local area network with a very limited
coverage.

Why we use it?

We use it for manually use our robot. (for locomotion process).we use HC05
Bluetooth module for this project.(“it’s a additional feature for line following
robot”)

How to use it?

HC05 Bluetooth Module’s Vcc is connected to 5V pin of Arduino UNO, which
supplies power to Bluetooth Module. Ground to Ground connections are also
made. Transistor logic pins, Transmitter (TX) and Receiver (RX) of Arduino UNO
are connected to RXD and TXD of HC05 respectively. The program is uploaded to
Arduino before connecting the Bluetooth module. After all successful
connections, switch on the power source. Lights at Motor Drive, Arduino UNO and
HC05 would indicate the correct connection. Upon successful connection of your
Bluetooth module with any android device(Install a suitable Bluetooth control
application), we could control this device. By passing the command, for example,
to move forward we pass ‘F’. This command is transmitted by our device to
Bluetooth module, which in turn transmits to Arduino UNO. Arduino receives is
and passes the same to Motor Drive through its digital pins. Motor Drive will get
this through their input pins and exercise them through their output pins were
motor is connected.
