AC motor speed controller through Android mobile

Abstract:
In many applications there is need to control the speed of AC motors. To achieve required speed
level with some methods power is getting wasted and some methods are not giving enough
number of speed levels. And sometimes it dangerous to human as human has to touch the
equipment to control speed level of motors the But with advancement in technology now we can
control the speed levels up to 10 and more also to give more comfort and safety to users.
Especially in mobile field so many application are being developed to give us more information
and entertainment .this project is designed with combination of two latest and most demanding
technologies that are Android and Embedded Systems
Android is a Linux based operating system designed primarily for mobile devices and it is a open
source .There are so many applications are already developed on Android and many applications
are being developed at free of cost for its users .
We can also develop our own customized applications with free of cost or with minimum cost
according to our requirements.
In this project we will create an application to control the speed of the motor. Whenever we
operate this application, it sends commands to our controlling system through blue tooth.
At controlling system side we have Bluetooth module, micro controller and Ac motor controlling
circuits, zero cross detector circuit to help the speed controlling method. Whenever this blue
tooth module receives command from android application then it transfers this command to
micro controller. Micro controller will control the speed of AC motor to respective level depends
upon the command it received
This is very safe and secure and also we can control many loads without getting harm to operator
