Trying to control DC motor via Bluetooth with HC-06 module, and a PS Controller

Projects General Guidance
1

Hey!

I have started a project. A remote control robot. I am using the arduino uno, and haven't written any code yet.
I was hoping to use a PS3 wireless controller to communicate with my HC-06 Bluetooth module, for the bluetooth to send the signal to one or both of 2 DC motors, to go right or left, or go at all.

Thanks in advance,

Thank you for sharing, best of luck :wink:

Yeah gud luck with that. Apart from joke I think you want to know how you should start working.

So, I would suggest you to take it step by step. First of all interface bluetooth module with your Arduino UNO and test it's output on your serial monitor. After that interface your DC Motors and finally control them via bluetooth.

In each step, if you got into problems then share your codes here and people here are quite generous. So, again best of luck.

I have gotten my device to control an LED, but I just dont know how to get the controller to connect to the HC-06.

I just need to connect it, THEN I need to make it do certain inputs.

To use your 'controller' you'll probably need a USB Host device/shield.. along with an Adruino.. and BT device to send your 'commands'

This will then in turn send your BT commands/signal to another Arduino with a BT module connected to it to receive & parse said commands.. that will in turn control the motor
