Bluetooth Controlled Robot Car Using Arduino

by Nayantha KGD

In this instructable, i'm going to guide you on making a robot car that control over Bluetooth from your android
mobile phone. Not only that, the robot car has special ability of avoiding obstacles which it meet when moving the
car forward. The robot car is fully based on arduino and I hope to do step by step guide on making this robot in
very easy way. Hope you will enjoy it.

Step 2: Assembling the Chassis

Solder two wires to each DC motor. Then fix two to assemble the Smart 2WD Robot car chassis.

Step 3: Mount the Components

Mount the Arduino UNO, L298n motor driver and the Breadboard on the chassis. Attach the HC-06 Bluetooth
module on the breadboard. Mount the HC-SR04 Ultrasonic sensor at the front of the chassis. Note: when mounting
the arduino board, leave enough space to plug the USB cable, since later you have to program the arduino board
by connecting the it to the PC via a USB cable.

Step 4: HC-06 Bluetooth Module Connections

Tip: This circuit diagram only shows you, how the Power the Bluetooth module using arduino 5V output.
pins of HC-06 Bluetooth module should be connected
to the arduino board. This is not the circuit diagram of Important: You have to remove any connections
our robot. you made to the arduino digital pin 0(RX) and
digital pin 1(TX) before upload any code.
Make resistor connections correctly!!! Otherwise your code will not upload to the board.
After uploading the code, you can plug wires to
You can use 'two series 1K' resistors instead of 2K both pins.

Step 6: Programming Arduino UNO

1. Install NewPing Library. (Ultrasonic sensor function library)


Download the NewPing.rar file
Unrar the file and copy NewPing file
Paste the file to Arduino libraries folder where you have installed the Arduino software
in your PC (e.g:-C:\Arduino\libraries)

2. Download and open bluetooth_obstacle_avoiding.ino


3. Remove any connections made to arduino digital pin 0 (RX) and digital pin 1 (TX)
4. Upload the bluetooth_obstacle_avoiding.ino code
5. Make necessary connections to arduino digital pin 0 (RX) and digital pin 1 (TX) again

Step 7: The Android App

1. Download mkrbot.apk on your android mobile


2. Install the app. If your mobile prevent installing the app, Go to settings ® security ® enable
unknown sources
3. Open the app
4. At the beginning, the app will show "Disconnected" and the HC-06 Bluetooth module red LED will
blink
5. Tap the Bluetooth symbol on the app
6. Select something named with HC-06
7. Now the app will show connected and the LED in the HC-06 Bluetooth module will light up
continuously without blinking
