Arduino-Pro-Mini-based-Conveyor-Motor-Speed-Control-System-using-PWM-Method

Conveyor is a mechanical system used to move goods or materials from one place to another that is carried out continuously. The purpose of this project is to provide education to the wider community on how to make a simple mini conveyor. This project has been implemented and takes approximately 1 week. To adjust how fast the conveyor machine can move, you can use a potentiometer. To change the direction of movement of the conveyor machine as well as stop it, you can use a push button. The benefit of making this project is none other than to add insight. The results show that this system can function properly.

Arduino IDE Setup

1. Open the Arduino IDE first, then open this project by clicking File -> Open :

   pwm_conveyor.ino

   
   

2. Board Setup in Arduino IDE

   How to setup the Arduino Pro Mini board
   Click Tools -> Board -> Arduino AVR Boards -> Arduino Pro or Pro Mini

   
   

3. Change Processor in Arduino IDE

   Click Tools -> Processor -> ATmega328P (5V, 16 MHz)

   
   

4. Port Setup in Arduino IDE

   Click Port -> Choose according to your device port (you can see in device manager)

   
   

5. Before uploading the program please click: Verify.
   
   

6. If there is no error in the program code, then please click: Upload.
   
   

7. Some things you need to do when using the Arduino Pro Mini board with PL2303 USB :

   • Arduino IDE information: Uploading... -> immediately press the RESET button and release it. • Wait until the message appears: Done Uploading -> The program is directly operated .

   
   

8. If there is still a problem when uploading the program, then try checking the driver / port / others section.

PL2303 USB Setup

Notes:

• This Arduino Pro Mini is not equipped with a USB port, so you need an additional device in the form of a USB to TTL Serial to connect to a laptop or PC. USB to TTL Serial like the PL2303 USB is commonly used as an intermediate medium for uploading programs. • You can see the wiring between the PL2303 USB and the Arduino Pro Mini board in the picture above. • To upload a program, in addition to using the PL2303 USB, you can also use other programming tools such as: CP2102 USB, CH340 USB, or with FTDI USB. Based on experience, I admit that using FTDI USB or CP2102 USB is much better than PL2303 USB or CH340 USB because they are known to be more stable in performance.
