Integrating Android Smartphone and Microcontroller System for Controlling and Monitoring The Two Wheels Electric-Bike

摘要

The objective of this research is to design and to develop an electronic control and monitoring systems for a Brushless DC (BLDC) motor that is employed to run a two wheels electric-bike by integrating the android smartphone and microcontroller via Bluetooth device. The overall research passed through four phases: (1) needs analysis and identification, (2) designing the system, (3) implementation and development, and (4) testing the developed-system. The results of this research is an electronic system that able to communicate and integrate a microcontroller Atmega 328, Bluetooth devices and android smartphones for controlling and monitoring the Brushless DC motor of the two wheels electric-bike. The general performance of the data communication between android smartphone and the developed electronic control system (via Bluetooth) will be effective and work properly within 0 upto 15 meters. The android application can be installed in various brands of android smartphone and versions of the android operating system. The electric-bike can be switched on and off using an android smartphone which has been installed the developed application inside. The electric power condition of the batteries can be real time displayed in the android's screen.
