Hello all, i wanted to start my own Arduio project but if possible i wanted to know exactly what materials and or kit i would need because they are expensive on my budget, what my project requires is
The ability to receive input from an android device such as arbitrary temperature
using that information and sending it to the interface (arduino board) wirelessly view, doing some calculations and creating an angle based on the data on a servo motor
similar to this video
but i wanted to make my own android app i have experience in that
Couple constraints
After the code for creating the angle on Arduino software on computer, the phone has to directly send information to the arduino board (if possible) with no computer intervention needed
I know this is alot i really hope i can get help thanks
first off, you will need to get an Arduino. the video shows an UNO
then you will need to get a blue tooth module.
you will also need to get a servo motor.
a power supply for the Arduino, 9 volts is often used.
wires to connect the bluetooth to the arduino. see if you can get a bluetooth module that comes with them.
wire to connect to the servo motor.
green twist ties to make the wires neat.
a phone. you will need an Android capable phone. since you said you wanted to make an android app.
optional, but needed to be true to the video would be some orange paint and a piece of wood. shape it into a triangle and drill a hole in it so you can use a screw to attach it to the motor.
buy two arduinos. they are cheap enough that if you ruin one, you have a cheap back-up
the preferred UNO has a DIP chip that can be removed in the event you destroy your chip.
they only cost about $4 per replacement chip and $10 shipping. frin DigiKey
or about $4 including shipping from China
don't do the math on a whole uno clone vs replacement chips. drive you nuts.
