DC MOTOR CONTROL By IR-Remote using PWM AtMega8

Note:-click to-AtMega 8 datasheet

Introduction
To control the speed of DC motor where precision and protection are essence, we use a technique called PWM (pulse width modulation) to control the speed of DC motor.We can achieve speed control of DC motor using mechanical or electrical techniques but they require large size hardware to implement but Micro controller based system provides easy way to control the speed of DC motor.We will use ATmega8 controller to produce PWM wave. By varying the width of this PWM wave, we can control the speed of DC motor. In ATmega8 controller, timer1 and timer2 have PWM mode. 

PWM Based DC Motor Speed Control using Microcontroller Circuit Principle:
The heart of this project is ATmega8 controller. These controllers 

consist of 2 PWM modes. Now we will see   how to generate 

PWM wave using timer2 PWM mode.
Before writing the program to the PWM mode we need to know 

the register description of all the registers that are used for PWM mode.
TCCR2 (Timer Counter Control Register):

In Timer 2, we have different modes like CTC mode, normal mode,

phase correct PWM mode, Fast PWM 
mode,etc.Among all of these modes, we have to select FastPWM mode.
From the above figure, it is clear that
For Fast PWM mode,
            WGM21=1    WGM20=1
To select PWM mode
TCCR2 |= (1<<WGM21)| (1<<WGM20);
Again in PWM mode we have two modes one INVERTING and 

other is NON – INVERTING.
To select non-inverting mode,
    COM21=1     COM20=0
    TCCR2 |= (1<<COM21);
 To select inverting mode,
COM21=1,    COM20=1
TCCR2 |= (1<<COM21)| (1<<COM20);
After that we have to select prescaler value.
            CS22        CS21       CS20                Description
               0              0               0                    No clock source
               0              0               1                     clk/1
              0              1                0                     clk/8
              0              1                1                     clk/32
              1              0               0                      clk/64
              1              0               1                      clk/128
              1              1               0                      clk/256
              1              1               0                      clk/1024
   To set the prescaler to 8,
CS22=0     CS21=1       CS20=0
TCCR2|= (1<<CS21);
OCR2 (Output Compare Register):
            OCR2 register contains an 8 bit value that is continuously compared with counter value.
