This document describes a project to control the speed of an induction motor using a touch screen. It discusses the principles of induction motors and different speed control techniques. The touch screen allows for direct interaction to control the motor speed without intermediate devices. It works by using resistive layers in the touch screen and interfacing it with the motor controller to vary the motor speed based on touch location on the screen. The document presents the results of an experiment where touch positions on the screen were mapped to different motor revolutions per minute. It concludes that touch screen control provides a safer, simpler and more reliable user interface compared to conventional switches.
