MOTORS Definition Of Motor • That powered by electricity or internal combustion, that supplies motive power for a vehicle or for some other device. • A device that converts any form of energy into mechanical energy, especially an internal-combustion engine or an arrangement of coils and magnets that converts electric current into mechanical power. Types of motors • DC Motor • Stepper motor • Servo motor Stepper motor Servo motor DC Motor DC Motor • The simplest DC rotating machine consists of a single loop of wire rotating about a fixed axis. The magnetic field is supplied by the North and South poles of the magnet. • Rotor is the rotating part; • Stator is the stationary part. Supply to Motor • This motor have two terminal to which you can connect your power supply . • After providing supply, it will be start rotating. • If you want to rotate in reverse direction than simply reverse the power supply connection of motor. It means motor is bipolar device. • Based upon the architecture current ratings of every motor is different and the we will use in our practical that will take approx 1Amp current. Necessary Medium To Operate • We are working on microcontroller and the maximum output current that it can provide is 20mA. • But our motor works on 1Amp current so to remove this problem we will have to connect motor driver IC L293D in between the microcontroller and motor. • This IC will provide the sufficient current to drive the dc motor • Also it will not affect the performance of the • controller. Motor Driver • L293D is a dual H-Bridge motor driver. • With one IC, two DC motors can be interfaced which can be controlled in both clockwise and counter clockwise directions and its direction of motion can also be fixed. • L293D has output current of 600mA and peak output current of 1.2A per channel. • The output supply (VCC2) has a wide range from 4.5V to 36V.

Input logic 00 or 11 will stop the corresponding motor. Logic 01 and 10 will rotate it in clockwise and anticlockwise directions, respectively. • Enable pins 1 and 9 must be high for motors to start operating. When an enable input is high, the associated driver gets enabled. As a result, the outputs become active and work in phase with their inputs.
