Mobile Phone Controlled Robot Car Using DTMF Module

介绍

在该项目中，使用了两部手机，其中一部用于打电话，其中一部用于接收呼叫。接收通话的电话通过音频插孔连接到机器人。

The person who is calling can control the robot just by pressing the dial pad keys. (i.e. the robot can be operated from any corner of the world).

COMPONENTS REQUIRED

1 - Arduino UNO

2 – Manual robot

3-4电动机（在这里我们使用了300 r.p.m）

4 - DTMF module

5 - Motor driver

6 – 12 volt Battery

7 - Switch

8 -耳机插孔

9 - 两台手机

10 – Connecting wires

ABOUT MANUAL ROBOT

A manual robot consists of chassis (body) in which three or four motors (which are screwed with tyres) can be attached depending on requirement.

Motors to be used depend on our requirement i.e. they can either provide high speed or high torque or a good combination of both. Applications like quad copter requires very high speed motors to lift against gravity while application like moving a mechanical arm or climbing a steep slope requires high torque motors.

Both motors on left and right side of robot are connected in parallel separately. Usually they are connected to a 12volt battery via DPDT(double pin double throw) switches.

But in this project we will use mobile phone instead of DPDTs to control the bot.

ABOUT MOTOR DRIVER

Arduino gives maximum current of 40mA using GPIO (general purpose input output) pins, while it gives 200mA using Vcc and ground.

Motors require large current to operate. We can’t use arduino directly to power our motors so we use a motor driver.

Motor driver contains H Bridge (which is a combination of transistors). The IC (L298) of motor driver is driven by 5v which is supplied by arduino.

To power the motors, it takes 12v input from arduino which is ultimately supplied by a 12 v battery. So the arduino just takes power from battery and gives to the motor driver.

It allows us to control the speed and direction of motors by giving maximum current of 2 amperes.

介绍TO DTMF MODULE

DTMF代表双音多频率。我们的表盘垫是两个碳粉多频率的频率，即一个按钮给出了两个具有不同频率的音调的混合物。

One tone is generated from a high frequency group of tones while other from a low frequency group. It is done so that any type of voice can’t imitate the tones.

因此，它只是将手机键盘的输入解码为四位二进制代码。我们在项目中使用的键盘编号的频率如下所示

Digitlow频率（Hertz）高频（Hertz）269713647701209677014778852133609411366666666666666666

The binary decoded sequence of the dial pad’s digits is shown in the table below.

CONNECTIONS

Motor driver –

Pin ‘A’ and ‘B’ controls left side motor while Pin ‘C’ and ‘D’ controls right side of motor. These four pins are connected to the four motors.
Pin ‘E’ is to power IC(L298) which is taken from arduino (5v).
pin ‘F’ is ground.
Pin ‘G’ takes 12 volt power from battery via Vin pin of arduino.
Pins“ H”，“ I”，“ J”和“ K”从Arduino获得逻辑。

DTMF –

pin ‘a’ is connected to 3.5 volt of arduino to power the IC (SC9270D).
Pin ‘b’ is connected to ground.
The input of DTMF is taken from phone via jack.
The output in the form of binary data via (D0 – D3) pins goes to arduino.

ARDUINO –

the output of DTMF from (D0 – D3) pins comes to digital pins of arduino. We can connect this output to any of the four digital pins varying from (2 – 13) in arduino. Here we used pins 8, 9, 10 and 11.
Arduino的数字引脚2和3连接到电动机驱动器的针数“ H”和“ I”，而Arduino的第12和13号销钉与“ J”和“ K”相连。
The arduino is connected to a 12 volt battery.

CODE EXPLANATION

First of all, we initialise all variables before void setup.
在Void设置中，所有要使用的引脚均根据其目的为输入或输出分配。
制作了一个新的函数“ void decoding（）”。在此函数中，Arduino将我们从DTMF获得的所有二进制输入解码为十进制。为此小数值分配的变量为a。
Another function “void printing()” is made. This function is used to print input values from DTMF pins.
Similarly, five functions are required functions are required to perform the required task. These functions are:

void move_left(); // robot turns left

void move_right（）;//机器人向右转

void move_forward(); // robot moves forward

void move_backward() ; // robot moves backward

void halt() ; // robot stops

Now these functions are used in void loop function to do their task whenever they are called according to input from dialpad of cellphone.

For example:::

if((x==0)&&(y==0)&&(z==1)&&(w==0)) { move_forward(); 阅读(); decoding(); printing(); }

hence when button 2 is pressed or 0010 is received on input pins, arduino decodes this and thus these functions do their work :move_forward();

阅读();

decoding();

printing();

CIRCUIT WORKING

The controls which we have used in our project are as follows –

2 – To move forward

4 – To turn left

6 – To turn right

8 – To move backwards

0 – to stop

After making a call to the phone connected to the robot, the person opens his dial pad.

If ‘2’ is pressed. The DTMF receives the input, decodes it in its binary equivalent number i.e. ‘0010’ and sends it to digital pins of arduino. The arduino then sends this code to the motor driver as we have programmed when the code will be ’0010’, the motors will rotate in clockwise direction and hence our robot will move forward.
If ‘4’ is pressed then its equivalent code is ‘0100’ and according to the programming the left side motors will stop and only right side motors will rotate clockwise and hence our robot will turn left.
If ‘6’ is pressed then the right side motor will stop and only left side motors will rotate clockwise and hence our robot will turn right.
If ‘8’ is pressed then our motors will rotate in anticlockwise direction and thus our robot will move backward.
If ‘0’ is pressed then all our motors will stop and robot will not move.

In this project we have assigned a function to five dial pad numbers only. We can add any type of other mechanism and assign a dial pad number to that mechanism to make an upgraded version of this project.
