Motor Controller Utilizing Webserial | Full Electronics Challenge

Controlling two DC motors utilizing Internet Serial entails organising an ESP8266 or ESP32 microcontroller with motor drivers and an internet server. The microcontroller serves net pages and handles instructions despatched through Internet Serial from a browser. Motor management is achieved by capabilities that interpret instructions like “ahead”, “backward”, and “cease”. Every motor requires devoted GPIO pins for course management (utilizing H-Bridge motor drivers) and PWM pins for velocity management. The system ensures strong energy administration to deal with motor currents and maintains communication integrity between the microcontroller and net browser for real-time management and monitoring.

Software

This setup allows distant operation and automation of DC motors, making it appropriate for robotics, residence automation, and industrial purposes the place exact motor management through an internet interface is useful.

Testing

Join all of the parts as per the given connections after which join the ESP32 to your pc utilizing a USB cable. Add the code and join your telephone wifi with webserial then open an internet browser in your cellular or laptop computer. Kind (192.168.4.1/webserial) and enter the instructions within the webserial interface.

Use the next instructions:

• “F” to maneuver ahead
• “B” to maneuver backward
• “S” to cease the motors
