Motor controller board and bluetooth module

Projects General Guidance
1

Hi
I've got a Motor controller board running 1 micro servo but wanted to use a Bluetooth module to control the servo remotely via an app on my phone. How can I connect the Bluetooth module to the Arduino while I've got the motor shield in place?

Thanks a lot.

Michael.

The shield presumably brings through many of the Arduino pins. That means you could use SoftwareSerial on 2 spare pins of the shield as the Bluetooth serial interface

Please post a link to the shield that you are using

Your topic has been moved to a more suitable location on the forum. Installation and Troubleshooting is not for problems with (nor for advice on) your project.

Hi,
What model Arduino are you using?
What motor shield? A link to spec/data will help.

What micro servo and why do you need a shield for it?

Can we please have a circuit diagram of your current project?
An image of a hand drawn schematic will be fine, include ALL power supplies, component names and pin labels.

Thanks.. Tom... :smiley: :+1: :coffee: :australia:

Sorry about that but I'm new to the Forum and wasn't sure where to put the post. As it said 'Troubleshooting' and I had trouble getting the Bluetooth to work with the Motorshield I took this to be the right section. I'll know next time.

Thanks for putting me straight.

It also says the below (when you hover the mouse over the link) :smiley:

Don't worry further about it :wink:

Entirely understandable, and simply a matter of poor design of the forum site which the "powers that be" have no interest in correcting. :sunglasses:
