The project given here controls speed and direction of DC motor using joystick. Most of the DC motor controllers use PWM to vary motor speed and H bridge circuit to alter its direction. One of the techniques becoming very popular and widely used now a days of DC motor control is to control DC motor through joystick. Using single joystick one can control speed as well as direction of DC motor. When joystick is at centre position the motor is rest. When joystick is moved forward or reverses the motor also rotates forward and reverse. Also the motor speed increases when joystick moved further forward or reverse. In this project, we will learn How to interface a L293D based DC Motor Driver in PWM mode with AVR ATmega16 microcontroller. The PWM mode is used to control the speed of DC motors. Higher the duty cycle of the PWM signal higher is the speed of DC motor. The ATmega16 microcontroller will generate PWM signals of different duty cycle using its Timer Counter 1 and will give the PWM signal to the two enable pins of the L293D.

INTRODUCTION
•This is the primary movement system for any accelerating /
de-accelerating vehicle or object.
•By this module we can control the speed of two DC motors
and its direction in X & Y axis.
•Pulse Width Modulation Technique is used to control the
speed of DC motors
• Gradual speed change in dual directions using only one
Mechanical switch/ component is not possible with
potentiometer ,hence we are using Joystick as an input
device.

CONCEPT OF PULSE WIDTH MODULATION
•The PWM mode is used to control the speed of DC motors.
•Higher the duty cycle of the PWM signal higher is the speed of DC motor.
•The ATmega16 microcontroller will generate PWM signals of different duty cycle
using its Timer Counter 1 and will give the PWM signal to the two enable pins of
the L293D.
• Here, we will use the DC Motor Driver to control the speed of two DC motor .
•In this way, the microcontroller will run the motors in forward/ backward direction
with different speeds.
Example:-
Analog input=1.25 V
Digital output= 256 (in 10 Bit ADC)
So,
Ton=256 ms
Toff= 1024-256=768 ms
Simply, we are controlling the average value(DC value) of output waveform.

JOYSTICK OPERATION
•We are using a joystick to control speed as
well as direction of DC motor.
•When joystick is at centre position the motor
is rest.
•When joystick is moved forward or backward
the motor rotates forward and reverse.
•Also the motor speed increases when joystick is
moved further forward or reverse.
•It rotates motor as well as varies its speed as joystick is
moved.
