Arduino bluetooth controlled robot

Bluetooth Controlled ROBOT
Aim of the project is to design a robot which can be controlled by
Bluetooth of your mobile phone or PC.
An application program running in PC or android phone is used to send
commands that are received by Bluetooth module attached with the
robot.
Overview
Bluetooth Controlled Robot

Hardware components required and their purpose:
1. Arduino UNO board
2. PC or Mobile phone with customizable Bluetooth module
3. HC-05 Bluetooth module
4. DC motor
5. Motor driver IC (L293D)
6. Wheels
7. Power adopter
 Arduino UNO board: This is the brain of this robot in which the
program is loaded to do the required functioning and is interfaced
with Bluetooth module and the motor driver to make the system work
as required.
 HC-05 Bluetooth Module: This module is capable of communicating
with PC, mobile phone or any other Bluetooth enabled device. It is
interfaced with the microcontroller over the
serial UART port of micro-controller.
 PC or Mobile phone with customizable Bluetooth module: this works
as the remote control for the robot. It has an application program
running on it which enables us to send appropriate command over its
Bluetooth module to control the robot.

Bluetooth Module
 DC Motor: This motor is controlled with DC voltages and can move
in forward and backward direction according to the polarity of the
voltage applied.
 Motor driver IC (L293D): Microcontrollers can’t supply the
current required by DC motor to run. So, to fulfill this requirement
these motor driver ICs are used.

DC motors with Driver IC
 Power adopter: This is used to give appropriate dc power supply to
microcontroller, driver IC sensors and the other passive components
of the robot.
 Wheels: In it three wheels are employed, two at rear end and one at
front end. Rear wheels are attached with the motors and also control
the steering of robot. Front wheel is the loose steered wheel which
moves in the direction of the pressure applied to it.

Description
For this firstly the application program is developed or a readymade
program is made available to run on the PC or the mobile phone. This
application program send the commands in form of ASCII characters
which are received by HC-05 Bluetooth module and passed to
microcontroller through UART port of microcontroller.
The microcontroller is programmed to take desired actions according to
the command (ASCII character) received to move forward, reverse or to
take a turn.

The microcontroller sends logic 1 or 0 at the specified pin to control
motors of robot which are attached using motor driver IC (L293D).
Program:
/*
left motor attached to pin 5(+ve),6 and
right motor attached to pin 7(+ve),8 and
*/
void setup() {
//Initialize serial
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(5, OUTPUT);
pinMode(6, OUTPUT);
pinMode(7, OUTPUT);
pinMode(8, OUTPUT);
}
void loop()
{
char value;
value=Serial.read();
switch(value)
{
case 'w':
{
digitalWrite(6, LOW);

digitalWrite(5, HIGH);
break;
}
case 'd':
{
break;
}
case 'a':
{
break;
}
case 'x':
{

break;
}
case ' ':
{
break;
}
}
}

Programming Digital I/O pins of Arduino UNO board:
 Each pin is controlled by three commands associated with it which are
designated as:
pinMode()
digitalWrite()
digitalRead()
 pinMode()
This configures the specified pin to behave either as an input or an output.
Syntax
pinMode(pin, mode)
Parameters
pin: the number of the pin whose mode you wish to set
mode: INPUT, OUTPUT.
Returns
None
Example
int ledPin = 13; // LED connected to digital pin 13
void setup()
{
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // sets the digital pin as output
}
void loop()
{
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // sets the LED on
delay(1000); // waits for a second
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // sets the LED off

}
 digitalWrite()
Write a HIGH or a LOW value to a digital pin.
If the pin has been configured as an OUTPUT with pinMode(), its voltage will
be set to the corresponding value: 5V (or 3.3V on 3.3V boards) for HIGH, 0V
(ground) for LOW.
Syntax
digitalWrite(pin, value)
Parameters
pin: the pin number
value: HIGH or LOW
Returns
None
Example
Sets pin 13 to HIGH, makes a one-second-long delay, and sets the pin back to LOW.
void setup()
{
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // sets the digital pin as output
}
void loop()
{
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // sets the LED on

digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // sets the LED off
}
 digitalRead()
Reads the value from a specified digital pin, either HIGH or LOW.
Syntax
digitalRead(pin)
Parameters
pin: the number of the digital pin you want to read (int)
Returns
HIGH or LOW
Example
int inPin = 7; // pushbutton connected to digital pin 7
int val = 0; // variable to store the read value
void setup()
{
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // sets the digital pin 13 as output
pinMode(inPin, INPUT); // sets the digital pin 7 as input
}
void loop()
{
val = digitalRead(inPin); // read the input pin
digitalWrite(ledPin, val); // sets the LED to the button's value
}
