CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
In this project, the robot is controlled by a mobile phone that makes a call to the mobile
phone attached to the robot. In the course of a call, if any button is pressed, a tone
corresponding to the button pressed is heard at the other end of the call. This tone is called
dual-tone multiple-frequency (DTMF) tone. The robot perceives this DTMF tone with the
help of the phone stacked in the robot
The received tone is processed by the microcontroller with the help of DTMF decoder
MT8870 .The decoder decodes the DTMF tone into its equivalent binary digit and this binary
number is sent to the microcontroller. The microcontroller is pre programmed to take a
decision for any given input and outputs its decision to motor drivers in order to drive the
motors for forward or backward motion or a turn. The mobile that makes a call to the mobile
phone stacked in the robot acts as a remote. So this simple robotic project does not require
the construction of receiver and transmitter units.
1.1 LITERATURE SURVEY
The First Remote Control Vehicle / Precision Guided Weapon:
This propeller –driven radio controlled boat, built by Nikola Tesla in 1898, is the
original prototype of all modern-day uninhabited aerial vehicles and precision guided
weapons. In fact, all remotely operated vehicles in air, land or sea. Powered by lead-
acid batteries and an electric drive motor, the vessel was designed to be maneuvered
alongside target using instructions received from a wireless remote-control
transmitter. Once in position, a command would be sent to detonate an explosive
charge contained within the boat‟s forward compartment. The weapon‟s guidance
system incorporated a secure communications link between the pilot‟s controller and
the surface-running torpedo in an effort to assure that control could be maintained
even in the presence of electronic countermeasures. To learn more about tesla‟s
system for secure wireless communications and his pioneering implementation of the

electronic logic-gate circuit read „Nikola Tesla-Guided Weapons & Computer
Technology‟, Tesla Presents Series Part 3, with commentary by Leland Anderson.
Use Of Remote Controlled Vehicles During World War II:
During World War II European Theater the U.S. Air Force experimented with three
basic forms radio-control guided weapons. In each case, The weapon would be
directed to its target by a crew member on a control plane. The first weapon was
essentially a standard bomb fitted with steering controls. The next evolution involved
The fitting of a bomb to a glider airframe, one version, the GB-4 having a TV camera
to assist the controller with targeting. The third class of guided weapon was the
remote controlled B-17.
It‟s known that Germany deployed a number of more advanced guided strike
weapons that saw combat before either the V-1 or V-2. They were the radio-
controlled Henschel‟s Hs 293A and Ruhrstahl‟s SD1400X, known as “Firtz X,” both
air-launched, primarily against ships at sea.

CHAPTER 2
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
2.1 HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS:
2.1.1 LM358 AMPLIFIER:
Description:
The LM158 series consists of two independent, high gain, internally frequency compensated
operational amplifiers which were designed specifically to operate from a single power
supply over a wide range of voltages. Operation from split power supplies is also possible
and the low power supply current drain is independent of the magnitude of the power supply
voltage. Application areas include transducer amplifiers, dc gain blocks and all the
conventional op amp circuits. Which now can be more easily implemented in single power
supply systems. For example, the LM158 series can be directly operated off of the standard
+5V power supply voltage which is used in digital systems and will easily provide the
required interface electronics without requiring the additional ±15V power supplies.
The LM358 and LM2904 are available in a chip sized package (8-Bump DSBGA) using TI's
DSBGA package technology.

2.1.2 DUAL-TONE MULTI-FREQUENCY (DTMF):
DTMF is a generic communication term for touch tone (a Registered Trademark of AT&T).
The tones produced when dialing on the keypad on the phone could be used to represent the
digits, and a separate tone is used for each digit. However, there is always a chance that a
random sound will be on the same frequency which will trip up the system. It was suggested
that if two tones were used to represent a digit, the likelihood of a false signal occurring is
ruled out. This is the basis of using dual tone in DTMF communications. DTMF dialing uses
a keypad with 12/16 buttons. Each key pressed on the phone generates two tones of specific
frequencies, so a voice or a random signal cannot imitate the tones. One tone is generated
from a high frequency group of tones and the other from low frequency group. The
frequencies generated on pressing different phone.
Features:
• Complete DTMF Receiver
• Low power consumption
• Internal gain setting amplifier
• Adjustable guard time
• Central office quality
Applications
• Receiver system for British Telecom (BT) or CEPT Spec (MT8870D
• Paging systems

Description:
An MT8870 series DTMF decoder is used here. The MT8870D/MT8870D-1 is a complete
DTMF receiver integrating both the band split filter and digital decoder functions. The filter
section uses switched capacitor techniques.
Fig 2.3: DTMF Keypad Frequencies(With Sound Clips)
There are four frequencies associated with the four rows, and three frequencies associated
with the three columns. Each key then specifies two frequencies. The DTMF signal for that
key is the sum of two sinusoidal waves, one at each frequency. So for example, the digit '4'
translates into a sound with two tones, one at 770 Hz. and the other at 1209 Hz.
2.1.2 H-BRIDGE:
An H-bridge is an arrangement of transistors that allows a circuit full control over a standard
electric DC motor. That is, with an H-bridge a microcontroller, logic chip, or remote control
can electronically command the motor to go forward, reverse, brake, and coast.
The basic H-bridge that is a good choice for most robots (including BEAM robots) and
portable gadgets. This H-bridge can operate from a power source as low as two nearly-
exhausted 'AAA' batteries (2.2V) all the way up to a fresh 9V battery (9.6V).
The H-bridge circuit (below) looks complicated at first glance, but it is really just four copies
of a resistor + transistor + diode.

7. Cell Phone Operated Vehicle
Department of ECE, CEC Benjanapadavu 7
Fig 2.4: Schematic of a bipolar transistor h-bridge circuit to drive a DC motor
There are many different ways to draw the circuitry, but the above wiring diagram matches
the model of most H-bridges.
Q1, Q3: These are NPN transistors. They connect the motor to ground (negative terminal of
the battery).
Q2, Q4: These are PNP transistors. They connect the motor to +2.2V to +9.6V (positive
terminal of the battery).
R1-R4: These resistors prevent too much current from passing through the base (labeled B)
control pin of the transistor. The resistor value of 1 kiloohm (1kΩ) was chosen to provide
enough current to fully turn on (saturate) the transistor. A higher resistance would waste less
power, but might cause the motor to receive less power. A lower resistance would waste
more power, but wouldn't likely provide better performance for motors running on consumer
batteries.

8. Cell Phone Operated Vehicle
Department of ECE, CEC Benjanapadavu 8
D1-D4: Diodes provide a safe path for the motor energy to be dispersed or returned to the
battery when the motor is commanded to coast or stop.
M1: This is a direct-current (DC) motor. These are very common. And can find them in
surplus stores online or in salvaged toys. The motor should have only two wires. Measure the
resistance of the two motor wires using a multimeter. If it is much less than 5 ohms, then the
transistor parts listed in this article are too weak to power the motor.
Controlling the H-bridge motor driver
The resistors are the inputs that control the H-bridge. By connecting a resistor to either
+VDC or GND, it turns on or off the corresponding transistor. (+VDC is the positive end of
the battery. GND is the negative end of the battery.) When a particular pair of transistors is
turned on, the motor does something.

Since there are 4 resistors, there are actually sixteen possible ways this circuit can be
commanded. Never apply +VDC to R1 and GND to R2 at the same time.
Never apply +VDC to R3 and GND to R4 at the same time, Battery get short circuited.
As for the other parts, the resistors (R1-R4) in the H-bridge can be almost any brand,
material, or wattage. The maximum current passing through them will be about 9 mA, so

9. Cell Phone Operated Vehicle
Department of ECE, CEC Benjanapadavu 9
wattage isn't a concern. Also, the resistance doesn't have to be exactly 1000 ohms, so
precision isn't a concern.
The diodes (D1-D4) can be any of the commonly used parts: 1N914, 1N4001, or 1N5817.
The 1N5817 is superior, and This type of motor driver is used, The motor driver circuit is
laid out on a solderless breadboard in the photograph below. The only tricky part is to note
the orientation of the transistors. The top transistors (Q4 and Q2) are flat-side down. The
bottom transistors (Q3 and Q1) are flat-side up.
Fig 2.5: Bipolar transistor H-Bridge motor driver circuit on a solderless breadboard.
Connect the positive end of a battery to the very top row of the board (+VDC). Connect the
negative end of a battery to the very bottom row of the board (+GND).
To try it out, connect a wire from GND to the right-side of R2. Then, connect a wire from
+VDC to the left-side of R3. The motor should spin forward.

2.1.3 DC MOTOR:
A DC motor relies on the fact that like magnet poles repel and unlike magnetic poles attract
each other. A coil of wire with a current running through it generates an electromagnetic field
aligned with the center of the coil. By switching the current on or off in a coil its magnet field
can be switched on or off or by switching the direction of the current in the coil the direction
of the generated magnetic field can be switched 180°. A simple DC motor typically has a
stationary set of magnets in the stator and an armature with a series of two or more windings
of wire wrapped in insulated stack slots around iron pole pieces (called stack teeth) with the
ends of the wires terminating on a commutator. The armature includes the mounting bearings
that keep it in the center of the motor and the power shaft of the motor and the commutator
connections. The winding in the armature continues to loop all the way around the armature
and uses either single or parallel conductors (wires), and can circle several times around the
stack teeth. The total amount of current sent to the coil, the coil's size and what it's wrapped
around dictate the strength of the electromagnetic field created. The sequence of turning a
particular coil on or off dictates what direction the effective electromagnetic fields are
pointed. By turning on and off coils in sequence a rotating magnetic field can be created.
These rotating magnetic fields interact with the magnetic fields of the magnets (permanent or
electromagnets) in the stationary part of the motor (stator) to create a force on the armature
which causes it to rotate. In some DC motor designs the stator fields use electromagnets to
create their magnetic fields which allow greater control over the motor. At high power levels,
DC motors are almost always cooled using forced air.
The commutator allows each armature coil to be activated in turn. The current in the coil is
typically supplied via two brushes that make moving contact with the commutator. Now,
some brushless DC motors have electronics that switch the DC current to each coil on and off
and have no brushes to wear out or create sparks.
Different number of stator and armature fields as well as how they are connected provide
different inherent speed/torque regulation characteristics. The speed of a DC motor can be
controlled by changing the voltage applied to the armature. The introduction of variable
resistance in the armature circuit or field circuit allowed speed control. Modern DC motors

11. Cell Phone Operated Vehicle
Department of ECE, CEC Benjanapadavu 11
are often controlled by power electronics systems which adjust the voltage by "chopping" the
DC current into on and off cycles which have an effective lower voltage.
Since the series-wound DC motor develops its highest torque at low speed, it is often used in
traction applications such as electric locomotives, and trams. The DC motor was the
mainstay of electric traction drives on both electric and diesel-electric locomotives, street-
cars/trams and diesel electric drilling rigs for many years.
If external power is applied to a DC motor it acts as a DC generator, a dynamo. This feature
is used to slow down and recharge batteries on hybrid car and electric cars or to return
electricity back to the electric grid used on a street car or electric powered train line when
they slow down. This process is called regenerative braking on hybrid and electric cars. In
diesel electric locomotives they also use their DC motors as generators to slow down but
dissipate the energy in resistor stacks. Newer designs are adding large battery packs to
recapture some of this energy.

2.2 SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS:
2.2.1 DIP TRACE :
Dip trace is EDA software for creating schematic diagrams and printed circuit boards. The
first version of Dip Trace was released in August, 2004. The latest version as of March 2013
is Dip Trace version 2.3.1. The interface and tutorials are multi-lingual (currently English,
Czech, Russian and Turkish). In January of 2011, Parallax switched from Eagle to Dip
Trace for developing its printed circuit boards.
2.2.2 µVISION KEIL:

2.2.3 FLASH MAGIC:
NXP Semiconductors produce a range of Microcontrollers that feature both on-chip Flash
memory and the ability to be reprogrammed using In-System Programming technology.
Flash Magic is Windows software from the Embedded Systems Academy that allows easy
access to all the ISP features provided by the devices. These features include:
· Erasing the Flash memory (individual blocks or the whole device)
· Programming the Flash memory
· Modifying the Boot Vector and Status Byte
· Reading Flash memory
· Performing a blank check on a section of Flash memory
· Reading the signature bytes
· Reading and writing the security bits
· Direct load of a new baud rate (high speed communications)
· Sending commands to place device in Bootloader mode
Flash Magic provides a clear and simple user interface to these features and more as
described in the following sections. Under Windows, only one application may have access
the COM Port at any one time, preventing other applications from using the COM Port. Flash
Magic only obtains access to the selected COM Port when ISP operations are being
performed. This means that other applications that need to use the COM Port, such as
debugging tools, may be used while Flash Magic is loaded. Note that in this manual third
party Compilers are listed alphabetically. No preferences are indicated or implied.

PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION:
3.1 BLOCK DIAGRAM:
Fig 3.1: Block Diagram
The robot is so controlled by a mobile phone that makes a call to the mobile phone attached
to the robot. In the course of a call, if any button is pressed, a tone corresponding to the
button pressed is heard at the other end of the call. This tone is called „dual tone multiple
frequency‟ (DTMF) tone. The robot perceives this DTMF tone with the help of the phone
stacked in the robot. The amplifier is used to amplify the received DTMF signal. The
receiver tone is processed by 8051microcontroller with the help of a DTMF decoder
CM8870. The decoder decodes the DTMF tone into its equivalent binary digit and this binary
number is sent to the microcontroller. The microcontroller is preprogrammed to take a
decision for any given input and outputs its decision to motor drivers in order to drive the
motors for forward or backward motion or a turn. The mobile that makes a call to the mobile
phone stacked in the robot acts as a remote.

3.4 APPLICATIONS:
Scientific :
Remote control vehicles have various scientific uses including hazardous environments,
working in the deep ocean , and space exploration. The majority of the probes to the other
planets in our solar system have been remote control vehicles, although some of the more
recent ones were partially autonomous. The sophistication of these devices has fueled greater
debate on the need for manned spaceflight and exploration. The Voyager I spacecraft is the
first craft of any kind to leave the solar system. The Martian explorers Spirit and Opportunity
have provided continuous data about the surface of Mars since January 3, 2004.
Military and Law Enforcement:
Military usage of remotely controlled military vehicles dates back to the first half of 20th
century. Soviet Red Army used remotely controlled Teletanks during 1930s in the Winter
War and early stage of World War II. There were also remotely controlled cutters and
experimental remotely controlled planes in the Red Army.
Remote control vehicles are used in law enforcement and military engagements for some
of the same reasons. The exposure to hazards is mitigated to the person who operates the
vehicle from a location of relative safety. Remote controlled vehicles are used by many
police department bomb-squads to defuse or detonate explosives. See Dragon Runner,
Military robot.
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have undergone a dramatic evolution in capability in
the past decade. Early UAV's were capable of reconnaissance missions alone and then only
with a limited range. Current UAV's can hover around possible targets until they are
positively identified before releasing their payload of weaponry. Backpack sized UAV's
will provide ground troops with over the horizon surveillance capabilities.
Search and Rescue:
UAVs will likely play an increased role in search and rescue in the United States. Slowly
other European countries (even some developing nations) are thinking about making use of

27. Cell Phone Operated Vehicle
Department of ECE, CEC Benjanapadavu 27
these vehicles in case of natural calamities & emergencies. This can be a great asset to save
lives of both people along with soldiers in case of terrorist attacks like the one happened in
26 Nov, 2008 in Mumbai, India. The loss of military personnel can be largely reduced by
using these advanced methods. This was demonstrated by the successful use of UAVs during
the 2008 hurricanes that struck Louisiana and Texas.
Recreation And Hobby:
See Radio-controlled model. Small scale remote control vehicles have long been popular
among hobbyists. These remote controlled vehicles span a wide range in terms of price and
sophistication. There are many types of radio controlled vehicles. These include on-road
cars, off-road trucks, boats, airplanes, and even helicopters. The "robots" now popular in
television shows such as Robot Wars, are a recent extension of this hobby (these vehicles do
not meet the classical definition of a robot; they are remotely controlled by a human). Radio-
controlled submarine also exist.

CONCLUSION & FUTURE SCOPE

29. Cell Phone Operated Vehicle
Department of ECE, CEC Benjanapadavu 29
CONCLUSION:
The primary purpose of the mobile phone operated land rover with DTMF decoder is to
know the information in the places where we cannot move. The robot perceives the DTMF
tone with the help of the phone stacked in the robot. It provides the advantage of robust
control, working range as large as coverage area of service provider.
FUTURE SCOPE
IR Sensors:
IR sensors can be used to automatically detect & avoid obstacles if the robot goes beyond
line of sight. This avoids damage to the vehicle if we are maneuvering it from a distant place.
Password Protection:
Project can be modified in order to password protect the robot so that it can be operated only
if correct password is entered. Either cell phone should be password protected or necessary
modification should be made in the assembly language code. This introduces conditioned
access & increases security to a great extent.
Alarm Phone Dialer:
By replacing DTMF Decoder IC CM8870 by a 'DTMF Transceiver IC‟ CM8880, DTMF
tones can be generated from the robot. So, a project called 'Alarm Phone Dialer' can be built
which will generate necessary alarms for something that is desired to be monitored (usually
by triggering a relay). For example, a high water alarm, low temperature alarm, opening of
back window, garage door, etc.
When the system is activated it will call a number of programmed numbers to let the user
know the alarm has been activated. This would be great to get alerts of alarm conditions from
home when user is at work.
