DC Motor Speed Control by Android phone

Applications Mar 14, 2023 Add to Reading List

This application we made with Flutter-Dart codes is a DC Motor speed control application. Using the Slider widget, we generate analog values between 0 and 250 and send this value to the bluetooth adapter with the sendData function.

On the microcontroller side, rec_data=mySerial.readString(); We read the line. We convert this value to integer type and send it to DC motor with AnalogWrite command.

Flutter-Dart Codes:

import 'dart:async';
//import 'dart:convert';

import 'package:flutter/foundation.dart';

class _MyAppState extends State<MyApp> {
  List<BluetoothDevice> _devices = [];
  late BluetoothConnection connection;
  String adr="00:21:07:00:50:69"; // my bluetooth device MAC Adres
  double sval = 10;
  String mots="0";
  late int motint=0;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();

SoftwareSerial mySerial(10, 11); // RX, TX String rec_data="5"; int motor_level=10;

void setup() { pinMode(3, OUTPUT); // for Analog output Serial.begin(9600); mySerial.begin(9600); // BlueTooth Data baud,set the data rate for the SoftwareSerial port }

void loop() { // run over and over

if (mySerial.available()) { rec_data=mySerial.readString(); motor_level=rec_data.toInt(); analogWrite(3, motor_level);

delay(1000); Serial.println(motor_level); } }
