Cellphone Operated Land Rover

Conventionally, wireless-controlled robots use RF circuits, which have the drawbacks of limited working range, limited frequency range and limited control. Use of a mobile phone for robotic control can overcome these limitations. It provides the advantages of robust control, working range as large as the coverage area of the service provider,no interference with other controllers and up to twelve controls.
Although the appearance and capabilities of robots vary vastly, all robots share the features of a mechanical, movable structure under some form of control. The control of robot involves three distinct phases: perception, processing and action. Generally, the preceptors are sensors mounted on the robot, processing is done by the on-board microcontroller or processor, and the task (action) is performed using motors or with some other actuators.

Project overview:
In this project, the robot is controlled by a mobile phone that makes a call to the mobile phone attached to the robot. In the course of a call, if any button is pressed, a tone corresponding to the button pressed is heard at the other end of the call. This tone is called ‘dual-tone multiple-frequency’ (DTMF) tone. The robot perceives this DTMF tone with the help of the phone stacked in the robot.


The received tone is processed by the ATmega16 microcontroller with the help of DTMF decoder MT8870. The decoder decodes the DTMF tone into its equivalent binary digit and this binary number is sent to the microcontroller. The microcontroller is preprogrammed to take a decision for any given input and outputs its decision to motor drivers in order to drive the motors for forward or backward motion or a turn.


The mobile that makes a call to the mobile phone stacked in the robot acts as a remote. So this simple robotic project does not require the construction of receiver and transmitter units.


DTMF signaling is used for telephone signaling over the line in the voice- frequency band to the call switching center. The version of DTMF used for telephone tone dialing is known as ‘Touch-Tone.’


DTMF assigns a specific frequency (consisting of two separate tones) to each key so that it can easily be identified by the electronic circuit. The signal generated by the DTMF encoder is a direct algebraic summation, in real time, of the amplitudes of two sine (cosine) waves of different frequencies, i.e., pressing ‘5’ will send a tone made by adding 1336 Hz and 770 Hz to the other end of the line. The tones and assignments in a DTMF system are shown in Table I.

Circuit description:
Fig. 1 shows the block diagram of the microcontroller-based mobile phone operated land rover. The important components of this rover are a DTMF decoder, microcontroller and motor driver.


An MT8870 series DTMF decoder is used here. All types of the MT8870 series use digital counting techniques to detect and decode all the 16 DTMF tone pairs into a 4-bit code output. The built-in dial tone rejection circuit eliminates the need for pre-filtering. When the input signal given at pin 2 (IN-) in single-ended input configuration is recognized to be effective, the correct 4-bit decode signal of the DTMF tone is transferred to Q1 (pin 11) through Q4 (pin 14) outputs.


Table II shows the DTMF data output table of MT8870. Q1 through Q4 outputs of the DTMF decoder (IC1) are connected to port pins PA0 through PA3 of ATmega16 microcontroller (IC2) after inversion by N1 through N4, respectively.

The ATmega16 is a low-power, 8-bit, CMOS microcontroller based on the AVR enhanced RISC architecture. It provides the following features: 16 kB of in-system programmable Flash program memory with read-while-write capabilities, 512 bytes of EEPROM, 1kB SRAM, 32 general-purpose input/output (I/O) lines and 32 general-purpose working registers. All the 32 registers are directly connected to the arithmetic logic unit, allowing two independent registers to be accessed in one single instruction executed in one clock cycle. The resulting architecture is more code-efficient.

Outputs from port pins PD0 through PD3 and PD7 of the microcontroller are fed to inputs IN1 through IN4 and enable pins (EN1 and EN2) of motor driver L293D, respectively, to drive two geared DC motors. Switch S1 is used for manual reset. The microcontroller output is not sufficient to drive the DC motors, so current drivers are required for motor rotation.

The L293D is a quad, high-current, half-H driver designed to provide bidirectional drive currents of up to 600 mA at voltages from 4.5V to 36V. It makes it easier to drive the DC motors. The L293D consists of four drivers. Pins IN1 through IN4 and OUT1 through OUT4 are input and output pins,  respectively, of driver 1 through driver 4. Drivers 1 and 2, and drivers 3 and 4 are enabled by enable pin 1 (EN1) and pin 9 (EN2), respectively. When enable input EN1 (pin 1) is high, drivers 1 and 2 are enabled and the outputs corresponding to their inputs are active. Similarly, enable input EN2 (pin 9) enables drivers 3 and 4.


Software description:
The software is written in ‘C’ language and compiled using CodeVision AVR ‘C’ compiler. The source program is converted into hex code by the compiler. Burn this hex code into ATmega16 AVR microcontroller.


The source program is well commented and easy to understand. First include the register name defined specifically for ATmega16 and also declare the variable. Set port A as the input and port D as the output. The program will run forever by using ‘while’ loop. Under ‘while’ loop, read port A and test the received input using ‘switch’ statement. The corresponding data will output at port D after testing of the received data.


Working:
In order to control the robot, you need to make a call to the cell phone attached to the robot (through head phone) from any phone, which sends DTMF tunes on pressing the numeric buttons. The cell phone in the robot is kept in ‘auto answer’ mode. (If the mobile does not have the auto answering facility, receive the call by ‘OK’ key on the rover-connected mobile and then made it in hands-free mode.) So after a ring, the cellphone accepts the call.


Now you may press any button on your mobile to perform actions as listed in Table III. The DTMF tones thus produced are received by the cellphone in the robot. These tones are fed to the circuit by the headset of the cellphone. The MT8870 decodes the received tone and sends the equivalent binary number to the microcontroller. According to the program in the microcontroller, the robot starts moving.

When you press key ‘2’ (binary equivalent 00000010) on your mobile phone, the microcontroller outputs ‘10001001’ binary equivalent. Port pins PD0, PD3 and PD7 are high. The high output at PD7 of the microcontroller drives the motor driver (L293D). Port pins PD0 and PD3 drive motors M1 and M2 in forward direction (as per Table III). Similarly, motors M1 and M2 move for left turn, right turn, backward motion and stop condition as per Table III.


Construction:
When constructing any robot, one major mechanical constraint is the number of motors being used. You can have either a two-wheel drive or a four-wheel drive. Though four-wheel drive is more complex than two-wheel drive, it provides more torque and good control. Two-wheel drive, on the other hand, is very easy to construct.

Top view of a four-wheel-driven land rover is shown in Fig. 3. The chassis used in this model is a 10×18cm2 sheet made up of parax. Motors are fixed to the bottom of this sheet and the circuit is affixed firmly on top of the sheet. A cellphone is also mounted on the sheet as shown in the picture.

In the four-wheel drive system, the two motors on a side are controlled in parallel. So a single L293D driver IC can drive the rover. For this robot, beads affixed with glue act as support wheels.

Tip and Ring: 
Most of the readers cant pass this term 'Tip' and 'Ring'; so for your convenience lets try to solve this. First of all identify the tip and ring with the help of the figure, given below, then use the DMM and apply the short circuit test to know the unknown wires. 
For short circuit test select the 'buzzer' sign in the DMM then connect the one lead tip and the other with the hand frees cut wires one by one, when you hear the beep you got it! that is you wire, the tip wire. Similarly, now connect the DMM lead to ring the other with the rest of the wires and do the same. Cut the hand frees wire before the mike. I hope it ll work for you guys.

  4. i have a doubt about this circuit when a 6v 4.5ah battery is used, will it not damage the microcontroller so are we supposed to add any kind of regulator or sumthing?

    ReplyDelete
  5. You can also use two supplies. one, regulated 5v, for microcontroller and other, 6v or 12v, for motor driver; for smooth running of motors.

  8. You can bye dc motor From toy (RC Planes) shop.
    Actually i don't have pcb right now.

    ReplyDelete
  9. what do i do to send a command from microcontroller to mobile phone

    ReplyDelete
  10. In this case you have to send commands from mobile phone via keypad to ucontroller, not vice versa (from ucontroller to mobile).

  11. sir can you tell me.is it work by hold keypress turn on release turn off.can you tell me how to connect relay and use all cellphone keypad available for channeling relay.for this relay i going to run 9v dc motor.and estimate of the cost to build.waiting for you respon.thank you

    ReplyDelete
  12. Basically to operate it you have to dial the phone number of attached mobile phone with the other phone. Then you have to hold the key of later phone to move the robot.
    You can interface keypad of other phones as well. All works on DTMF.
    Relay can be connected at the output of the IC1. By using relay you dont have to hold the key.

    ReplyDelete
  13. 4 output but the keypad contain 12 number.how to complete this.thank you again

    ReplyDelete
  14. You concern is only with keys 2, 4, 6, and 8; refer to table 3. That is why four output! Consider others as don't care.

  15. Malik vai,

    I m using the same connection but by DTMF part is not working. I have checked the ATMGA and motor controller ic by giving manual input of binary signals, they worked fine. but DTMF part is not working. i checked the following

    1. singnal is comong from mobile head phone (I cheked the signal at ic pin usnig multimeter)
    2. corresponding connection
    3. CM 8870 working fine
    4. 3.579 Mhz crystal working
    so is there any other thing i missed? plz give ur king suggestion

    ReplyDelete
  16. he.. will u suggest me which mobile should b used and how to attach that mobile with the circuit...

    ReplyDelete
  17. can we use 500 to 1000 rpm dc motor??
    will it require some other programming??
    upto what maximum volt and rpm we can use for this project?

    ReplyDelete
  18. If the signal from your mobile is coming then Check your connections again (Tip and ring connection of mobile etc).
    Check the output of atmaga.

    You Can use any mobile (but it should have DTMF)like Nokia 1110, etc. Refer to for connection: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRS_connector

    You can use any dc motor. But the Maximum voltage should not exceed 5 to 6v. No for this small project no further programming is required.
    Although you can programme whatever you want.
    Have fun.

  21. if we use metal detector in this project, then how it can be used at the borders for disposing hidden land mines?

    ReplyDelete
  22. i m making a robo as below shown-

    http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/military-robot-22.jpg

    i want to use 4 motors for this project and i m bound to use not more than 24V battery. so how to connect 4 motors using 24V battery an i need speed of 2-3 feet/second. i want to use high rpm motor, so what rpm motor would be perfect for this? plz specify connections also as i m weak in electronics.
    i m confuse that u r telling to use only 4-6V but i wud be needing more voltage, so can i use 24V battery in your ciruit and how to use it ? 1 more doubt is, u had mention only 2 motors in your circuit but i need 4 motors so plz help me out for this..
    in the above shown image, there are small turning pairs so plz explain me what mechanism is ther between them while turning a tank robo???

    ReplyDelete
  23. For metal detector it can only locate the mines but to dispose you have to destroy them; it can be done by using small amount of explosive and place them on the mines; determined by the robot, then by using remote control just explode the explosive.

    ReplyDelete
  24. You gonna be kidding me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    First if you wanna use 24v then go ahead but not to forget to isolate your microcontroller and other circuitry, that runs on 5v, for this purpose just use opto-coupler.

    To move 2-3 f/s; first choose the motor type like bldc, servo etc according to their specification, then calculate it.

    Google it there are lots of circuit for driving the motor but its also depend upon your motor type.


    As i mentioned earlier you can use 24v but with isolation.

    If you want to use this circuit then use another L293 and connect it to any five pins of atmega (as in schematic)but you have to code it for this modification.

    Simplest method is to motors in bi-directional; for forward and backward movement, where as for turning just adjust the speed of the motor. For example if you wanna turn left then slow the speed of left motor and increase the speed of right motor that it.
    I hope it will help you.

    ReplyDelete
  25. so which microcontroller should be used????
    u mean to say that i cant use your circuit for 24V motor???


    "If you want to use this circuit then use another L293 and connect it to any five pins of atmega (as in schematic)but you have to code it for this modification."

    i m not understanding thz?
    which pins u r talking about?
    yor code will not work for thz??

    i m fully confused plz help me out..
    if possible give your cell number.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Ok.........
    First its your choice; use whatever ucontroller and design appropriate circuit to accomplish your task.

    2nd the above circuit is made only to control two motors not four; that is why you have to use another L293 to control the other two motors. So you need to connect L293 to the ucontroller pins.

    3rd my code will not support this. You have to modify the code as well.

    My suggestions are; first learn the basic electronic, try to play with circuit and then go to the advance design.
    If your are fan of robotics then try the simplest "line follow robot". (just google it)

  27. When we make a call to the mobile phone attched to the robot and then robot is operate automatically. but if another subsciber call on the mobile phone atteched to the robot then what is done?
    robot is operate itself or not?

    ReplyDelete
  28. THANX ELECTRONICS FOR EVERYWHERE AS U PROVIDE ME TO DESIGN A PROJECT......

    ReplyDelete
  29. If the attached mobile is set to auto-answering option then any subscriber can activate the robot by just calling it.

    ReplyDelete
  30. but it is the disadvantage,
    how it is solve?

    ReplyDelete
  31. plz give me solution for this.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Yes a sort of, but also depend upon your mobile set. Means in call option just create a list from you want to receive the calls (if your mobile supports). And add the numbers of your choice, that can operate the robot, in the list.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Sorry, I still don't understand how to connect the "Schematic" with the cell phone like N1100. Plz show me more detail. Many thanks

    ReplyDelete
  34. Just connect with mobile headset's speaker pins.
    OR use mobile that supports hand-free, then connect the wires (Tip and Ring)with respective hand-free wires.

  35. we've connected only dtmf ic part on a bread board..we've used MT8870 decoder ic.. we've checked the ear phone using multimeter...we are using 6v..4.5ah battery...but the binary output is not coming when we make call at the outputs of decoder ic...all outputs ie pin no 11,12,13,14 are high(6v) always...pla give a solution,,,we are frustrated

    ReplyDelete
  36. Output of 8870 should be the binary value of the corresponding key (pressed). Make sure your phone should have dtmf (some time error is due to this reason). Also make sure u using original dtmf decoder ic, cheap ic's doesn't respond well for some buttons (there are lots of tester available on net).

    ReplyDelete
  37. we are using nokia 6303 and 3110c.....also how to test 8870 ic...we replaced that ic with cm8870...but problem still persist...

    ReplyDelete
  38. whenever a call is made..when we press keys all outputs remain high..is there any prob with earphone...pls tell us the standard method for testing earphone after cutting it.. we gave 5v to tip..and measured voltage on the other side n identified tip...and ring in the same way..is this wrong method

    ReplyDelete
  39. To test 8870 google it. or check this link:
    http://www.electronicsforu.com/efylinux/circuit/jun2003/ci-2-dtmf.pdf

    It seems you are not getting the dtmf signals at all, fault could be in your ic or you are not correctly able to identify the tip n ring.

    Usually tip is +ve, and ring is either -ve, or ground. Use multi-meter and check the voltage of tip and ring with respect to the ground (earphone should be connected to ur cell).

  40. in this proj why we've to use ATMEGA 16 microcontroller...we can use 8051 also right?? any advantages of tat over 8051??

    ReplyDelete
  41. In this scenario no advantage. Yes, you can use 8051 or whatever you wanna use.

    ReplyDelete
  42. right now we've 4 controls forward,backward,right,left..can we add some extra using atmega 16 mc...pls suggest some other controls which are useful

    ReplyDelete
  43. Yes Stat, Stop, and speed control; if u want.

    ReplyDelete
  44. yes we r using stop. for speed control we just need to modify code or any other hardware needed?..................also pls suggest some more useful controls which ve real time applications...pls

    ReplyDelete
  45. No just choose a button, say 0, and compare it; this is for stop.

    And for speed control, generate software PWMs.

    In both cases you have to change your code.

  46. which software and kit we've to use to burn atmega 16 avr mc

    ReplyDelete
  47. While running this project we accidentally short circuited the PCB. Now it is not working. Could the short circuit damage the ICs or the AtMEGA??
    We are using Nokia 1110 on the board and SE Walkman to send the dtmf.

    Thankyou

    ReplyDelete
  48. I think so.
    Saperate thr ics; apply power and input pattrens. If u get result;ics are ok.

    many many thnx

    ReplyDelete
  54. For 4 movement, you need 3 motors.
    one for forward and backward, and other two are for left and right movement.

    The code is complete for these four movements. But you can modify it according to your desire.

    ReplyDelete
  69. First please specify ur names so i easily address u.

    Because u need to drive the motors using driver and can't just use the o/p of decoder to run them, although u can do that but it will not b the good approach; to make it versatile u need a mc(so u can modify it according to ur demands).

    For landlines or cellphone the frequencies will remain the same, circuit should have to work.

    It depends upon ur motors, where as for l239d it can work till 36v; so no need for two different supplies. You should use the supply that can able to meet the current requirements.

    ReplyDelete
  70. thanks..but when we used 5v supply for pin 16 and 8 of l293d..motors run but when we press other button on phone...all dtmf outputs ie leds go high..and remain same till we remove motors..after tat it responds to key pressed..wats the prob

  79. It is more likely that the problem lies in CM8870 ic, as most of these ics does not response; don't know why? may be manufacturing fault?.
    If u wanna use 8051 u have to change the i/p and o/p instructions; to make the port either for input or for output purposes.

  80. sir we are not getting dtmf outputs properly. i mean when we r pressing nos continuously for one no we get randomly...but for next no it wont come...if one op comes it gets latced and dont change till we remove supply and reconnect it....earlier it was coming correctly...but now this prob....its coming correctly on bread board but with different components and same ic.....wats the prob...pls help....also is there any prob with 3.57MHZ crystal used..ic is ht9170b

  84. sir in this project why they ve used not gate between decoder ic and microcontroller........pls tell us...we've project seminar .pls pls

    ReplyDelete
  85. normally the o/p of mt8870 is high, ic is used to differentiate between the outputs. you can eliminate this ic but u have to change the design and code as well. instead of pulling up, pull down through resistors and then compare for inputs.

    ReplyDelete
  86. but for pin 1 and 2 of the 89c51 we dont need pull up resistors...so it is ok if we dun use the not gate ic....??the circuit design will be same na just without the not gate ic and resistors....??
    nikhil

    ReplyDelete
  87. only port0 need pullup in 8051. if you don't wanna use not ic; just remove it along with the pullup resistors and directly read the mt8870 output through programming.
