How can I control 4 dc motors using my phone

I want to create a car a small car that can be controlled with my phone. I have an arduino uno, and an adafruit motor shield v2. I also have an hm-10 bluetooth module. I can also order other basic electronics if needed.

So far, I am able to make the car move, but not using my phone. Please help

I would like to recommend you do the following step:

  • Find a Bluetooth app that supports sending command to your phone to Arduino via Bluetooth. For Android, you can use this Bluetooth Serial Monitor app
  • If it works, and but UI is not like what you want, you can write the mobile app that has UI as you desired.

For suggestions on how to get help, please read and follow the instructions in the "How to get the best out of this forum" post.

Welcome to the forum. We can't help without more information.

What kind of phone? Isn't HM10 BLE?

Please read the how to get the most of the forum posts to see what information that we need on order to help.

Post a schematic or wiring diagam of the project. Include all components and power supplies.

Post photos of the project.

Tidy up the code with the IDE autoformat tool.

Post the code, in a code block, as described in the above mentioned posts.

I have an iPhone, and I am using the Blexar app, but I can't test if my arduino is receiving signals. The app is supposed to controls the pins, but I can't get anything to work.

Sure you can. Post the code and explain the problem, after reading the guidelines.

iphone, yes hm-10 is ble. The only code I have is "bare minimum" because I want to use to use the serial monitor to use the AT commands, but the AT commands arent working. Right now I disconnected everything, so it is just my arduino and ble module. I have RX > TX(0), TX>RX(0), VCC > 5V and GND > GND

Please post what you are using.

A schematic would be much clearer.

How do I make one?

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
}

this is the only code, I ran it just to see if the arduino was receiving code, and to use the serial monitor.

I still cant figure out how to control things on my arudino like the onboard led using my phone, I am using the blexar app. The AT commands are not doing anything, which makes me think that my hm-10 isnt connecting.
