Circuit Documentation
Summary
This circuit is designed to control a DC motor using an Arduino UNO microcontroller and an L298N DC motor driver. It includes a pushbutton for input, a potentiometer for adjusting parameters, and an LCD display for user feedback. The circuit is powered by a 2.1mm DC Barrel Jack, which supplies power to the motor driver and the Arduino UNO. The Arduino UNO manages the motor driver's inputs and communicates with the LCD display via I2C.
Component List
Arduino UNO
- Microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P
- It has 14 digital input/output pins, 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz quartz crystal, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button.
Pushbutton
- A simple switch mechanism for controlling some aspect of a machine or a process. Buttons are typically made out of hard material, usually plastic or metal.
Resistor (200 Ohms)
- A passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element.
L298N DC Motor Driver
- An integrated monolithic circuit in a 15-lead Multiwatt and PowerSO20 packages. It is a high voltage, high current dual full-bridge driver designed to accept standard TTL logic levels.
Potentiometer
- A three-terminal resistor with a sliding or rotating contact that forms an adjustable voltage divider.
LCD Display 16x4 I2C
- A liquid crystal display that can show up to 16 characters per line and has 4 lines. It uses the I2C communication protocol.
