can some one help me with robotic wheel chair using arduino uno
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.
we are using h bridge. wat is the main use of it. can u tell pls.:)
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.
can u pls tell me how to interface joystick and call routine program of the motor.
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!
can u pls tell me what value of capacitor must be used for connecting external supply to H bridge for driving 12V dc motor..pls
