Abstract: The aim of this paper is to design and implement a power controller based on a microcontroller to be used in controlling a DC motor driving an electric vehicle. The ease of control and excellent performance of the DC motors ensure that it is widely used in many applications. This paper is mainly concerned on DC motor speed control system by using microcontroller PIC16F877A. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technique is used where its signal is generated in microcontroller. The program for PWM generation is written in C Language using MIKROC software. It is programmed into the microcontroller using Pickit 2. Then the microcontroller is installed into the motor control circuit. The Microcontroller acts as the motor speed controller in this paper. Based on the result, the readings are quite reliable. Through the paper, it can be concluded that microcontroller PIC16F877A can control motor speed at desired speed efficiently by using PWM signal
