DTMF Controlled Robot Without Microcontroller INTRODUCTION

This document describes a DTMF controlled robot that operates without a microcontroller. It uses a DTMF tone decoder integrated circuit and motor driver integrated circuit. The robot can be controlled remotely from a cell phone by pressing numbers, which are decoded into signals that control the robot's movement and direction. The DTMF tones are received and decoded by the DTMF IC, then sent to the motor driver IC to control the motors and movement of the robot. The aim is to design this robot without a microcontroller in a simple and low-cost way.

DTMF CONTROLLED ROBOT WITHOUT

MICROCONTROLLER
INTRODUCTION

DTMF is an acronym for Dual Tone Modulation Frequency. DTMF is a circuit that
operates the robot without using a microcontroller. This circuit consists of simple DTMF Tone
decoder IC and a motor driver IC.

Cell phone operated Robot is a Robot whose movement can be controlled by pressing the
number of cell phone. The robot can move forward, backward, right or left which depends on
the numbers you are pressing. The property of Robot to operate by the cell phone helps you to
operate the robot from some distance The Cell Phone controlled Robot uses DTMF (Dual tone-
multi frequency) module. It is capable of receiving a set of command (instructions) in the form
of DTMF (Dual tone multiple frequency) tones and performs the necessary actions. The robot is
controlled by making call to the mobile connected to the robot. The robot performs various
operations like moving forward, backward etc. if any key is pressed in the course of the call, by
hearing at the other end of the call (i.e. at the mobile connected to the robot ). Each key
corresponds to a particular frequency which is decoded by the DTMF decoder & processed by
logic circuit by giving each key a particular operation like moving forward, backward, right, left
etc. The benefit is that we can operate the robot by using any mobile with the working range as
large as the coverage area of the service provider.

When a key is pressed from our mobile, it generates a tone, which is a combination of two
frequencies. Of the two frequencies, one is high frequency and another one is low frequency.
This frequency can be decoded by the decoder IC into binary sequence. Using this binary
sequence, the robot is controlled.

DTMF receiver sections are used to receive the dual tone coming from cell phone. It is received
by the DTMF and decoded by the same DTMF IC and given to the further circuit to receive the
dual tone frequency from the cell phone and to convert it into unstable signal we have to use
HT9170 IC, here we are given explanation of the HT9170 IC, both IC are compatible with each
other.

DTMF Based Robotic Vehicle Circuit Principle

DTMF based robotic vehicle circuit consists of DTMF Decoder IC, Motor Driver IC (L293D or
L298N), motors and a simple robot chassis to hold all these components.

DTMF decoder IC used is HT9170B (actually a variant called CM8870 is used but the
functionality is the same). It has 18 pins. Tone from DTMF encoder is given to the DTMF
decoder IC. The decoder IC internally, consists of operational amplifier, whose output is given
to pre filters to separate low and high frequencies. Then it is passed to code detector circuit
and it decodes the incoming tone into 4bits of binary data. This data at the output is directly
given to the driver IC to drive the two motors. These motors rotate according to the decoded
output.
OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT

The aim of this project is design a DTMF controlled Robot car without using a Microcontroller.
