 ABSTRACT

Stepper motor is found with finds lot applications in computer peripherals,

business machines, process control, machine tools and robotics. Especially in robotics
and process control like silicon processing, I.C Bonding and Laser trimming
applications, it is necessary to control the stepper motor from remote places. This
project is to control the stepper motor from remote place using RF modules. This deals
with the design and development of hardware and software for Wireless Stepper motor
control system.

Three switches are used to control the direction of the stepper motor at the
transmitter side. The status of these switches is transmitted using RF transmitter and
received by the RF receiver. The microcontroller at the receiver will be continuously
monitoring the status of these switches received from the decoder and performs the
corresponding action.

The RF modules used here are STT-433 MHz Transmitter, STR-433 MHz
Receiver, HT12E RF Encoder and HT12D RF Decoder. The three switches are
interfaced to the RF transmitter through RF Encoder. The encoder continuously reads
the status of the switches, passes the data to the RF transmitter and the transmitter
transmits the data.

At the receiving end, the RF receiver receives this data, gives it to RF decoder.
This decoder converts the single bit data into 8-bit data and presents it to the
microcontroller. Now, it is the job of the controller to read the data and perform the
corresponding action i.e., to rotate the stepper motor clockwise, anticlockwise or
entirely stop it. ULN driver is used to drive the stepper motor.

This project uses regulated 5V, 500mA power supply. 7805 three terminal
voltage regulator is used for voltage regulation. Bridge type full wave rectifier is used
to rectify the ac output of secondary of 230/12V step down transformer.
