DESIGNING A WINDOWS PROGRAM FOR CONTROLLING DC-MOTORS USING MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO AND ARDUINO IDE
Keywords:
Arduino, windows, design, programming, interface, softwareAbstract
This case study wishes to highlight the advantages of using a Windows based PC to control a DC Motor for applications in small projects, the DC Motor being driven by an Arduino Uno board. Arduino controllers represent the best method of interfacing electrical components with a computer after programming either a Graphical User Interface or a Command Line Interface. The study will also show the advantages of using Visual Studio to design a GUI Windows application to control the mentioned DC-Motor. The purpose of this application is the future usage of the DC-Motor in more complex mechatronic projects. The application can adapt to any type of motor as long as it is not a Stepper-Motor or Servo-Motor.
