    The ESP article is OK as far as it goes but it's really only concerned with simple mains power supplies. It has a tiny section at the end about switching supplies but it's way out of date. The wheelchair…

    Hi Prajwal, This is supposed to be your project not ours. If you keep asking questions and expecting answers, you will never learn how to be an engineer. That is why you are training, isn't it? I'm sorry…

    Hello Prajwal,  That question is a bit too general I'm afraid. Do you already have a wheel chair? Does it already have motors? Do those motors have drivers (like: boxes that take power and control, to drive the motor)? If  yes, do you know how those work?  If you report that, we could give you some directions on where to start reading next.  Victor

    thank you victor for replying.

    actually we are building this as our college project.we have thought of using DC motors and 2 axis joystick for conrtolling the directions.actually we don't what device drivers are!! where to use.:(

    Good to start with DC motors, but developing your own motor drivers (power amplifiers) might be a lot of work... If you want to build something small (like a scale model) you could use the motor shield of Arduino or from Adafruit, both also have libraries that show you how to drive the motors.

    i understood what is device drivers but i didn't get whether it is a hard ware component or we have to write the code for it.

    help me pls...

    'Motor Driver' is a more general term for a hardware component that is mostly built up out of one or more H-bridges.

    Hello,

     

    This is your college project; I think it would be wise to first read some information on electronics and on, Arduino. Do some test projects with switches, potmeters and ontrol some LEDs before turning on a robotic wheel chair. 

    Good luck in trying things out!
