This is my first Arduino-based, Bluetooth-controlled RC car. It is controlled by a smart phone application.
Project description
This is my first attempt in building a bluetooth controlled car with Arduino.
Once I get down all the parts I wanted to build it and test it. But there was no chassis. I look around and found a DVD casing. Well that's not the best choice but it serves for the time being. I used cable ties to put attach 4 motors to the chassis. For the power supply I used a 7.4V 1800mAh Li-ion battery from a walky talky, which is rechargeable.
char t;
void setup() {
pinMode(13,OUTPUT); //left motors forward
pinMode(12,OUTPUT); //left motors reverse
pinMode(11,OUTPUT); //right motors forward
pinMode(10,OUTPUT); //right motors reverse
pinMode(9,OUTPUT); //Led
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
if(Serial.available()){
t = Serial.read();
Serial.println(t);
}
if(t == 'F'){ //move forward(all motors rotate in forward direction)
digitalWrite(13,HIGH);
digitalWrite(11,HIGH);
}
else if(t == 'B'){ //move reverse (all motors rotate in reverse direction)
digitalWrite(12,HIGH);
digitalWrite(10,HIGH);
}
else if(t == 'L'){ //turn right (left side motors rotate in forward direction, right side motors doesn't rotate)
digitalWrite(11,HIGH);
}
else if(t == 'R'){ //turn left (right side motors rotate in forward direction, left side motors doesn't rotate)
digitalWrite(13,HIGH);
}
else if(t == 'W'){ //turn led on or off)
digitalWrite(9,HIGH);
}
else if(t == 'w'){
digitalWrite(9,LOW);
}
else if(t == 'S'){ //STOP (all motors stop)
digitalWrite(13,LOW);
digitalWrite(12,LOW);
digitalWrite(11,LOW);
digitalWrite(10,LOW);
}
delay(100);
