DC Motor Speed Control Using Arduino in Proteus

This document describes how to control the speed of a DC motor using an Arduino and LDR sensor in a Proteus simulation. It involves using a transistor connected to a PWM pin on the Arduino to control the motor speed by varying the duty cycle of the PWM signal. The PWM signal duty cycle is controlled based on the light level reading from an LDR sensor, such that lower light levels will decrease the motor speed and higher light levels will increase it. The simulation and Arduino code provided allow controlling the motor direction and speed using serial commands and varying the LDR sensor light level.

DC Motor Speed Control using Arduino in Proteus

• As I have explained earlier, I am gonna take it


further from our previous tutorial. So, in previous
tutorial, what we have done is, we have controlled
the direction of DC Motor using Serial Terminal.
• When we send commands on the Serial Terminal
the motor moves in clockwise or Anti-clockwise
direction.
• So, now the above mentioned functionality will
remain the same but an addition will be of speed
control.
• I have placed a LDR sensor in the simulation and
depending on the value of that LDR sensor our DC
motor speed will either increase or decrease.
• So, you can download the complete simulation of
DC Motor Speed Control by clicking the below
button:
• As I always recommend, design this simulation

on your own so that you learn most of it.


• So, first of all, design a circuit as shown in below

figure:
• As you can see in the above figure, its exactly the
same as we designed for Direction Control of DC
Motor in Proteus ISIS with a slight difference.
• The difference is NPN transistor which is used for
DC Motor speed control.
• The base of this NPN transistor is connected with
PWM pin of Arduino board.
• So, I am generating a PWM pulse on this pin which
is then applied on the base of transistor.
• Now if I increase the duty cycle of this PWM pulse
then the transistor induction will increase and thus
the speed of the DC motor.
• Now in order to control this PWM pulse I have used
the LDR sensor, now depending on the LDR sensor
the speed of DC motor will increase or decrease.
• Now upload the below code in your Arduino
software and Get the hex file from Arduino software.

int Motor1 = 2;
int Motor2 = 3;

int PWMControl= 6;

int PWM_Input = A0;

int PWM_Value = 0;
void setup() {
pinMode(Motor1, OUTPUT);
pinMode(Motor2, OUTPUT);
pinMode(PWMControl, OUTPUT);
pinMode(PWM_Input, INPUT);
Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
PWM_Value = analogRead(PWM_Input);
PWM_Value = map(PWM_Value, 0, 1023, 0, 255);
analogWrite(PWMControl, PWM_Value);
if(Serial.available())
{
char data = Serial.read();
Serial.println(data);
if(data == 'C'){MotorClockwise();}
if(data == 'A'){MotorAntiClockwise();}
if(data == 'S'){MotorStop();}

}
}

void MotorAntiClockwise()
{
digitalWrite(Motor1, HIGH);
digitalWrite(Motor2, LOW);
}

void MotorClockwise()
{
digitalWrite(Motor1, LOW);
digitalWrite(Motor2, HIGH);
}

void MotorStop()
{
digitalWrite(Motor1, HIGH);
digitalWrite(Motor2, HIGH);
}
So, now I am starting the simulation and then will
send the commands via virtual Terminal and it will
start moving and then by changing the LDR position
DC motor speed control will take place.
I know its not clear from above figure so that’s why I
have designed this video. In the below video you will
get the clear idea of DC Motor speed motor.
