Bluetooth Controlled Robot Car

by AnmolS44

were you always fascinated by RC cars ? I have added every circuit diagram and explanation
possible to make it easy for you all to understand.
Ever wanted to make one yourself ? controlled by
your own smartphone ? ----> lets start It is economical and is a good idea for your school /
college project. You don't need any previous
So, hey guys, here in this project i have tried to make knowledge!
a Bluetooth controlled car with the help of Arduino. I
have included each detail so you can understand it just follow this guide :P
easily. Also you can watch the video which is more
detailed. Watch it till end and you will learn to make it
within 10 minutes.

Step 1: Materials Required

1. Any car chassis kit ( with BO motors, wheels and 5. two batteries ( I used Samsung 18650
base ) rechargeable cell , 3.7V and 2600 mA both) Link:

I bought this kit- http://amzn.in/cMSnMTL
6. Jumper Wires
2. Arduino UNO
7. Electrical instruments ( Solder wire and iron )
3. L298 motor drive
8. mobile with bluetooth
4. Hc-05 bluetooth module

Step 2: Solder All Motors & Attach Them to the Base

Solder each motor with a black and a red wire and attach them with the chassis as shown in the video.

join left side motor wires together as: red wire --> red wire and black wire --> black wire

similarly join motors on right side together as: red wire --> red wire and black wire --> black wire

Step 3: Join Wheels to All the Motors

don't apply too much pressure while pressing the wheels otherwise the chassis may get break.

Step 4: Join the Two Batteries in Series

Connect the batteries in series by joining with a tape. might burn )


You can also keep a little piece of open wire between
them so that they are well connected. If your batteries have more current rating- your motors
will rotate fast. My battery current rating was 2260 mA
Now join red wire to positive terminal of battery and which was enough to power 4 motors.
black wire to negative terminal.
Caution: Don't accidentally connect positive terminal
Try to keep the voltage <= 9 volts. I used 2 batteries of battery to its negative terminal directly. It might
of 3.7 V so my total pack voltage was 7.4 volts. If you burn your wires without any resistance.
use to high voltage ( like >= 12 volts , there is a
chance that your components will get heated and

Step 5: Connect Motors to Motor Drive

Join the red and black terminal of motors on each side, to the motor drive outputs.

Step 6: Connect Motor Drive to Arduino

Then join the four control pins of motor drive to the arduino 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th pin socket.

Step 7: Join Bluetooth Module to Arduino

Connect bluetooth module( BT ) HC-05 to arduino as shown in circuit diagram.

join BT module to arduino as: VCC --> 5V and GND --> GND

Step 8: Connect Motor Drive to Battery

Connect motor drive's power input socket, to positive and negative terminal of battery. also connect the negative
terminal of battery to GND of arduino. Finally connect 3rd terminal to Vin of arduino.

You can also add a switch to start or stop the car as you wish.

Step 9: Upload the Code & Download the App

You can copy the code from here.

Now compile and upload the given code to the arduino.

Step 10:

After uploading, disconnect the arduino from pc.

Now connect Rx of Hc-05 to Tx of arduino and Tx of Hc-05 to Rx of arduino.

(do not connect these before uploading the code otherwise it may burn your arduino while uploading the
code)

Finally, download the Arduino Bluetooth control app.

Step 11: Pair With Bluetooth Module

Start the Car. Check that the LED of Bluetooth module is blinking fast without pairing.

Pair the HC-05 Bluetooth module with your smartphone. Enter password 1234. ( if it not works try 0000 )

After pairing open the app and choose HC-05 to pair with. Check the LED of Bluetooth module, its blinking rate
would have been very slow now.

Step 12: Test Drive

Go to App --> Buttons

Press 1: Car moves forward. ( all wheels start moving forward )

Press 1: Car moves in reverse. ( all wheels start moving backward )

Press 3: Car turns to left side. ( Only right wheels move )

Press 4: Car turns to right side. ( Only left wheels move )

Step 13: Suggestions

make all your connections correct and tight. If they are loose then your car can stop while moving.

You can even build a obstacle avoiding robot as your next project.
