Aduino Bluetooth controlled RC car.

Other Hardware Robotics

Hey!!

I'm working on a project in my highschool robotics class. I am currently working on assembling my RC car. I don't really have any past experience with advanced Arduino programming. right now I have a motor board, bluetooth serial module, arduino uno, and four motors. Can someone inform me on the general assembly and how to program the board so that i can control the car via bluetooth. I've connected the motors to the motor board, connected the motor board to the arduino uno and connected the bluetooth module to the arduino. I have no idea what to do next. :confused: :confused: :confused:

Thanks

Hello

I am building a quadcopter controlled by an android app using bluetooth.

For the bluetooth conection i am using a HC-05. Be careful on how you are connecting it to the arduino because i already burned one. Use this schema (http://www.martyncurrey.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/HC-05-Basic-set-up-584x455.jpg)

To receive data from the bluetooth you can start with this code

#include <SoftwareSerial.h>

SoftwareSerial mySerial(2, 3); // RX, TX
char command;
String string;

void setup()
{

  mySerial.begin(9600);

}

void loop()
{
  
  string = "";
  while (mySerial.available() > 0)
  {
    command = ((byte)mySerial.read());
    if (command == ':')
    {
      DO WHATEVER YOU NEED TO DO WITH THE INFO FROM THE BT
      break;

    } else
    {
      string += command;
    }
  }

You can start from here.

Maybe more info like what kind of motors you are using is usefull

Cheers,
