Interfacing of DTMF decoder with microcontroller-:

MT8870 IS DTMF DECODER.IT IS USED IN TELEPHONES. The M-8870 decoder uses a digital counting technique to determine the frequencies of the limited tones and to verify that they correspond to standard DTMF frequencies.

DTMF TRANSMITTER

1. DTMF ENCODER: The code generator part employs a keyboard, IC UM 91215B and few other components. The IC UM 91215B is a DUAL TONE MULTI FREQUENCY i.e. DTMF generator. Whenever a no. on the keyboard is pressed corresponding multiplexed frequency consisting of a lower band frequency and an upper band frequency is generated. 2. FM TRANSMITTER: The DTMF code signals from UM 91215B is then frequency modulated and transmitted in air using FM transmitter. The carrier frequency is determined by coil L1 and trimmer capacitor C1 (they can be adjusted to change the frequency of the transmission). An antenna of 10 to 15cm length is used for satisfactory range. The antenna is necessary because the transmitter unit has to be housed in metallic cabinet to protect the frequency drift caused due to stray EM.

DTMF RECEIVER

The antenna connected to FM receiver receives FM signals from remote control and demodulates them. Output of FM receiver is replica of the DTMF coded signal given

to FM transmitter section. These DTMF coded signals are given to MT 8870 DTMF decoder. IC MT 8870 decodes the DTMF signals and gives 4 bit BCD output.

Concept-:
In this project we use smart logic and control system of embedded system by using microcontroller. In this project we use IC 89c51 as a main processor. Microcontroller senses the signal and drives the motor of the robotic vehicle. First of all we attach one mobile phone with the circuit; phone is automatic on and waits for the signal. In this project we use DTMF decoding technology. Signal from the mobile phone is decoded by the DTMF decoder IC. So our 1st circuit in this project IC 8870. IC 8870 is a BCD to DTMF decoder. So our first part of the circuit is our DTMF TECHNOLOGY. This part is very much necessary, without using this part is not possible to interact with the mobile phone or DTMF based any phone. Whenever we press any switch from the transmitter phone then transmitter transmit some signal as per the switch press. So on every press switch there is a different signal.

Power supply circuit-:

In this project we use 9 volt battery to drive the vehicle. One 9 volt battery for the microcontroller circuit. Second 9 volt battery drives the motor driver circuit. Here in the project we one 5 volt regulator circuit. Output of the 9 volt dc is converted into 5 volt dc by using 7805 regulator circuit. IC 7805 regulator converts the 9 volt dc into 5 volt dc with the help of the 5 volt regulator 7805.

Stepper motors-:
Stepper motors are special kind of heavy duty motors having 2 or 4 coils. The motors will be stepping each time when it get the pulse. As there are many coils in the motors we need to energize the coils in a specific sequence for the rotation of the motor. These motors are mostly used in heavy machines. The figure shown below consists of a 4 coil stepper motor and the arrow mark will rotate when the coils are energized in the sequence.

A very popular circuit for driving DC motors (ordinary or gear head) is called an H-bridge. It's called that because it looks like the capital letter 'H' on classic schematics. The great ability of an H-bridge circuit is that the motor can be driven forward or backward at any speed, optionally using a completely independent power source.

H-bridge circuits-: A circuit diagram which resembles the letter "H." The load is the
horizontal line, connected between two pairs of intersecting lines. It is very common in DC motor-drive applications where switches are used in the "vertical" branches of the "H" to control the direction of current flow, and thus the rotational direction of the motor.

8051 serial port programming in -: When a microprocessor communicates with the outside world, it provides the data in byte-sized chunks. In some cases such as printer, the information is simply grabbed from 8-bit data-bus and presented to the 8-bit data bus of the printer.
