Smart Speed & Direction Controller for DC Motor using Potentiometer and Arduino

  • Unique Paper ID: 173796
  • PageNo: 1974-1977
  • Abstract:
  • This project presents the development of a smart speed and direction control system for a DC motor using a potentiometer and an Arduino-based setup. The system reads input from a potentiometer to adjust the motor's speed through Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and changes the motor's direction using a button-controlled interrupt. The Arduino processes the potentiometer's analog signal to generate a proportional PWM output, ensuring smooth and precise speed control. The system demonstrates potential applications in automation, robotics, and motor-driven systems, offering an efficient and responsive solution for precise motor control.
