The robot is controlled by a mobile phone that calls the other mobile phone attached to the robot. In the course of the call, if any button is pressed, the tone corresponding to the button pressed is heard at the other end. This tone is called Dual Tone Multi Frequency tone (DTMF).Using DTMF code, direction of motion of the robot can be controlled by mobile phone. The above system can be used for military purpose as bomb detector and as spy robot and also for surveillance. Keywords: Mobile phones, DTMF decoder, controller. This is the block diagram of controlling robot using DTMF.
DTMF TONE: The DTMF technique outputs distinct representation of 16 common alphanumeric characters (0-9, A-D, *, #) on the telephone. The lowest frequency used is 697Hz and the highest frequency used is 1633Hz.
The DTMF keypad is arranged such that each row will have its own unique tone frequency and also each column will have its own unique tone frequency. Above is a representation of the typical DTWMF keypad and the associated row/column frequencies. By pressing a key, for example 5, will generate a dual tone consisting of 770 Hz for the low group and 1336 Hz for the high group.
DTMF DECODER:
The MT-8870 is a DTMF Receiver that integrates both band split filter and decoder functions into a single 18-pin DIP or SOIC package. It is manufactured using CMOS process technology. The MT-8870 offers low power consumption (35 mW max) and precise data handling. Its filter section uses switched capacitor technology for both the high and low group filters and for dial tone rejection. Its decoder uses digital counting techniques to detect and decode all 16 DTMF tone pairs into a 4-bit code. Minimal external components required includes a low-cost 3.579545 MHz color burst crystal, a timing resistor, and a timing capacitor. The filter section is used for separation of the low-group and high group tones and it is achieved by applying the DTMF signal to the inputs of two sixth order switched capacitor band pass filters, the bandwidths of which corresponds to the low and high group frequencies. The filter section also incorporates notches at 350 and 440 Hz for exceptional dial tone rejection. Each filter output is followed by a single order switched capacitor filter section which smoothes the signals prior to limiting. Limiting is performed by high-gain comparators which are provided with hysteresis to prevent detection of unwanted low-level signals. The outputs of the comparators provide full rail logic swings at the frequencies of the incoming DTMF signals. Following the filter section is a decoder employing digital counting techniques to determine the frequencies of the incoming tones and to verify that they correspond to the standard DTMF frequencies.
