Open Loop Speed Control of a DC Motor via 8255 Digital I/O Controller chip using TCP/IP Server-Client Application Programmed in Visual Basic. The 8bit DAC0832 chip is used as the Digital to Analog Converter. In this project open loop control of a DC motor will be established using a power amplifier, a digital to analog converter, 8255 digital interface card, a client PC and a Server PC. The DAC

circuit, which is controlled by the server computer via 8255 digital interface, will be used to control the speed of a DC motor by changing the voltage going to the base of the power amplifier. The voltage going into the motor from the power supply is between 0 and +5V. The role of the power amplifier circuit is to provide the current necessary, to operate the motor. The client computer, communicates with the server computer via Ethernet communications and it is the GUI interface to control the speed of the motor. There can be several client computers hooked up to the server, however, for this application there is only one. The winsock component is used in the Visual Basic code to provide the server/client operations. This internet appliance calls for several electro-mechanical components: An 8255 card to interface the server PC with the dc motor control circuits. The 8255 card`s purpose is to provide an interface between the server PC and the dc motor control circuits. More information on the 8255 card`s construction and operation may be found at. The DAC-LF353 op amp circuit provides the proper voltage to the TIP31, which regulates the current coming from the power supply. The circuit is built so that it would output voltage ranging between 5V to +5V. The TIP31 circuit is a power amplifier, which allows current to flow from Collector through the Emitter pin proportional to the voltage on the Base pin. The illustration of...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
