Computer Controlled Wireless Robot

The main objective of this project is to design a robot that can be controlled wirelessly from a computer serial port.



It consists of 2 modules

1. Transmitter


The transmitter consists of 8051 module with a serial port and interfaced to a RF Transmitter module. The microcontroller reads the commands sent by the computer from the serial port, interprets for the direction of the robot and sends the command to RF Transmitter and an acknowledgement back to Computer. We have commands such as "Left" - L, "Right" - R, "Forward" - F, "Reverse" - B, "Stop" - S.

For example, if a code "R" is sent from the Computer serial port the microntroller sends "0x01" to RF Transmitter and a string "Right" back to the computer indicating the direction the robot is going to move.

To Interface 8051 with RF Transmitter, we use a Encoder IC HT12E. A0 to A9 on HT12E represents the address and we have it set to 0x00. Data pins D3 to D0 on the encoder is interfaced with P1.0 to P1.3 of 8051. TE pin of encoder is "Transmission Enable" which enables  transmission of data only when it is "Active Low". In our case, the transmission enable is controlled programatically with P1.4 of 8051. The complete circuit is below.

2. Receiver


The 8051 interprets the commands received by RF receiver and sends appropriate signals to H- Bridge for the control of the robot.

The receiver consists of

a. RF Receiver
b. Decoder Chip HT12D
c. 8051
d. H-Bridge L293D
e. DC motors.

To Interface 8051 with RF Receiver, we use a DecoderIC HT12D. A0 to A9 is complementary to Address set on Encoder and hence it is 0x00. Data pins D3 t0 D0 are interfaced to pins P1.0 to P1.3 of 8051. Whenever data is received, Pin 17 of the decoder goes high. We use a switching transistor to invert it to "Active Low" to enable us to interface it with "Active Low" INTO Interrupt of 8051. So whenever data is received, INT0 is triggered. The microntroller reads the data from the P1.0 to P1.3 and sends appropriate signals to H-Bridge via P0.0 to P0.3 to control the motors.

      Well, the source code is not difficult and it solely depends on the design. On the Tx side, just capture what the computer sends from a serial port using serial interrupt, interpret and pass it on to RF Tx. On the Rx side in an infinite loop, just take what is sent and control the motors. Since there are 4 bits available we have used 0x0001, 0x0010, 0x0100, 0x1000 for Left, Right, Forward, Reverse and others as stop.

      And to send the signals from the computer, we just use "Tera Term" in Windows 7.

      is it compulsory to use encoder decoder pair?i think if you connect the transmitter at TxD and receiver at RxD then data can be transmitted serially.am i correct?

      Well, it is pretty straightforward. When data is recieved, pin 17 of HT12D goes high. It is inverted using transistor and connected to INT0 of microcontroller. In the ISR, you can jsut read the 4bits of P1 and control the DC motors accordingly. Anyways, sent the code to your email.

      Plz send the Transmitter and Reciever Code to me, my Mail ID is youther.biswas8@gmail.com. Also, say, we have connected the output to drive relays at the Reciever side for controlling appliances, and say if there are multiple boards..then it requires some address to be set for each of the board pairs of Tx and Rx, so tht they do not interfere with each other...Wht do u think..?

      Delete
    3. EnggProj4 May 2013 at 02:12

      A0 to A8 are the address bits in both Tx and Rx. In this case all are grounded so the Address is set to 0x00. You can program to Tx and Rx to set to different Addresses and control different devices accordingly.

      Code sent to you email.

    dude....what is the use of encoder and decoder here ? i can send serial data from computer to microcontroller serial input directly (UART)....there i can make it parallel using simple coding techniques at transmitter side 8051 ......in the same way at receiver side....

      As I know we do not get ardunio board with inbuilt interface to Computer Serial port via Max232. You have to interface it externally. Instead 8051 is simpler.

      And writing code for ardunio is straight forward, just send commands to Ardunio ports interfaced to data bits of RF Transmitter and decode them at the receiver.

      Circuit diagram is in the blog post. Check it out. Data is sent from PC -> 8051 -> RF Tx in the Tx side and at the Rx it is RF Rx -> 8051 -> DC motors. You can remove the PC and program the 8051 itself on the Tx side to send the data.
