WEEK 6 (FYP 2)

WEEK 6 : Test DC Motor

OBJECTIVE :
To test the functionality of DC motor in this project.

METHODOLOGY :
1) Set up coding for this part.
2) Set up circuit with the right connection.
3) Connect NodeMCU with WiFi by using blynk application.

RESULT:

Video 6 : DC motor can function well

ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION :
During the test, IC L293D must be together with dc motor. L293D IC is a typical motor. Driver IC which allows the DC motor to drive on any direction. This IC consists of 16-pins which are used to control a a set of two DC motors instantaneously in any direction. It means, by using a L293D IC we can control two DC motors. Meanwhile, a motor driver is a little current amplifier. The function of motor drives is to take a low-current signal that can drive a motor.

CONCLUSION:
DC motor cannot directly connected to NodeMCU. It must have IC L293D with it. If not the DC motor will not be function.
