DC MOTORS SPEED CONTROLLING WITH POTENTIOMETER

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM: 

COMPONENTS LIST : 

1. ARDUINO UNO / NANO
2. L298N MOTOR DRIVER
3. DC MOTORS
4. 100K POTENTIOMETER
5. BATTERY
6. JUMPER WIRES

WE NEED TO REMOVE THE JUMPER PINS TO ENABLE THE PWM (PULSE WIDTH MODULATION) TO CONTROL THE SPEED OF THE MOTORS BY USING POTENTIOMETER TO CALIBRATE SPEED.

WE HAVE A BASIC PROGRAM TO CONTROL SPEED OF THE MOTORS, IN THE NEXT PROJECTS CONNECTION/CIRCUIT IS THE SAME PROCESS, WE JUST NEED TO ATTACH/CONNECT THE OTHER COMPONENTS TO THE ARDUINO BOARD FOR DIFFERENT USAGE OF THE COMPONENT.

THE PROJECT MAIN THEME IS TO CONTROL THE ROBOT SPEED IN DIFFERENT SITUATIONS AND TERRAINS ,IN REAL LIFE WE ARE DRIVING CARS AND WE CHANGING THE GEARS BY USING A GEAR ROD FOR INCREASING OR DECREASING THE SPEED OF THE CAR OR VEHICLES. SO ROBOTS ALSO USING THE SAME PROCESS.
