Lesson 13 Controlling the Robot with a Mobile App

In order to control the robot more conveniently, we have developed an APP for
users that can be used on mobile phones with Android operating system: Adeept
Remote Control

13.1 Introduction of APP

Adeept officially released the latest genneral application. Based on WiFi


communication, it can control Adeept related products, such as Arduino and
Raspberry Pi robots and cars with WiFi communication functions. The command
sending interface of the app is open to expand, allows you to control your own DIY
programmable WiFi communication robot or car products.

13.2 Downloading and installing APP

(1) The first download method, you can directly link to our official website with
this webpage to download: https://www.adeept.com/learn/detail-41.html
Click the APP to download. After the download is complete, unzip the APK
installation file, and then send it to your Android phone for installation.

(2) The second download method is to download from the Google App Store,
enter the download address in the browser:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adeept.lenovo001.smartcar
Click to Install.

13.3 Setting up WIFI connection

1. You need to connect the ESP8266 module to the wifi interface on the
AdeeptPixie driver board, as shown in the figure below, and you need to power the
robot.
2. First, open the Arduino IDE software, as shown below:

3. In the Tools toolbar, find Board and select Arduino Uno, as shown below:

4. In the Tools toolbar, find Port and select the port number of the AdeeptPixie
driver board, as shown below:
5. Click Examples->hexpod->WIFI_control under the File drop-down menu:

6. Then a WIFI_control program will be opened, your AdeeptPixie driver board


has already installed the ESP8266 module, then you need to turn the "Upload 0 RUN

1" switch on the AdeeptPixie driver board to the 0 position, then you click to
upload the code program to the driver board. After the upload is successful, a text
prompt appears in the lower left corner: Done uploading.
【Pay attention】
(1) Your AdeeptPixie driver board has already installed the ESP8266 module,
then you need to toggle the "Upload 0 RUN 1" switch on the AdeeptPixie driver
board to the 0 position, as shown in the figure below. When you upload the program
successfully, you must toggle the switch to the 1 position.

Press the reset button again. At this time, the USB cable does not need to be
connected to the robot.
(2) If the following error message appears when you upload the "WIFI_control"
program, the reason for this error message is that you did not toggle the "Upload 0
RUN 1" switch on the AdeeptPixie driver board before uploading the "WIFI_control"
program to the 0 position, so you need to check again whether the "Upload 0 RUN 1"
switch is in the 0 position.

7. After the upload is successful, the ESP8266 module will generate a Wifi
hotspot by default. You can check the name with "ESP" in the WIFI list. This hotspot
is generated by ESP8266. In the next section, we will teach you how to connect to this
hotspot via GUI.
8. Now you need to connect your Android phone to the WIFI hotspot generated
by the ESP8266 module. The initial password of this hotspot is 12345678.

13.4 Using APP to control the robot

1. After successfully connecting to the WIFI hotspot sent by the robot, you need
to click to open this APP on your Android phone:
2. After opening the APP, the interface as shown in the figure below appears.
Enter the default IP address of the ESP8266 module in the "IP Address" input field:
192.168.4.1, and the "Port" input: 333, and then click "CONNECT".

3.After the connection is successful, enter the control interface. Only the two red
areas in the figure below can control the movement of the robot. The direction button
on the left controls the robot to move forward and backward, turn left and turn right;
the A button controls the robot to enter the self-stabilization mode, and the B button is
to control the robot to enter the attack mode.
