Workshop Mechatronics Project - N: Presented by - Joseph Anem S.Rahul Guptha Kolla Sai Kumar Manohar

The document describes a student project to build a pen plotter robot that can draw a Nikolaus house design using an Arduino microcontroller, DC motors, pulleys, and other mechanical components. It provides details on the design process, circuit wiring, programming, advantages of using a pen plotter, and potential future improvements. The main challenges are maintaining the many mechanical parts, limited ability to only draw 2D designs, and potential wear on components like the timing belt over repeated use.

CONTENTS
INTRODUCTION
• Nikolaus House is also known as House of Santa Claus.
• Character Game for Children.

Fun Fact:
A history of this drawing game is not known .But there is a saying “If
you can’t do this,you won’t get a husband”
Introduction
• Pen plotters are friendly robots from a not so distant past. It is the
missing link between pencils and laser printers.
• It can draw a Nikolas house with use of microcontroller and various
electrical and mechanical components.
• Pen plotters print by moving a pen or other instrument across the
surface of a piece of paper.

Components
• DC geared Motor 5V • Pulleys
• Connecting Rods
• Motor driver (L298N) • Pen holder
• Microcontroller (Arduino UNO) • SIDE HOLDERS
• Adaptor for power supply • Rod Supporter
• 3D printer parts • Screws
• Pulleys
• Timing belt
• Ultrasonic Sensor
DESIGN PHASE
• Before manufacturing parts
using a 3D printer, we create the
design of components using
SolidWorks3D.
• Design of components is
necessary because the diagram
should be containing the correct
dimension .
• Following image shows our
developed design.
Wiring Diagram
• As we can see in image, it shows the
electrical schematic diagram of circuit.
• Two motor are connected with motor
driver and the motor driver is connected
with Arduino UNO controller.
• Motor driver take the command from the
controller and controller is connected
with the Computer via USB cable.
• There are also limit switch(Ultrasonic) to
bind the plotter in limit.
• All this connections are possible with help
of breadboard.

PROGRAMMING
• While programming the
controller in Arduino IDE
software to draw Nikolaus house,
we have used above showed two
images as reference.
• By considering the both image
we have prepared the code for
the Nikolaus house. With help of
these diagrams, it is very easy to
code any 2 dimensional lines in
Arduino UNO.
Advantages

• Plotter may print on a wide variety of materials and thus offer its user
many options.
• Efficiency, reproducibility, accuracy and speed are all attributes of a
plotter. Plotters can save all patterns and templates on disk and
eliminate the hassle of having to load the same patterns or templates
over and over again.
• Additionally, the same pattern can be drawn thousands of time
without any degradation.
Limitations

• Due to more mechanical parts and many


wiring connections, it needs to check
and maintain frequency. That will
increase the cost of maintenance.
• It only can draw 2 dimensional drawing
and the pen can not be lift up during the
operation.
• Can be drawn only continuous drawing.
• A little bit noisy due to DC geared motor.
• Timing belt would be worn out due to
friction and operational uses.
Future scope

• Uisng of Ultrsonic sensor on Both Sides as a Limit Switches


• We can use the servo motor at pen holder to lift up and lift down the
pen while needed.
• With use of servo motor, possible to draw some complex drawing
without any further improvement
• Instead of DC geared motor, stepper motor also can be used for
smoother and more accurate drawing.
