Back Interfacing with MQ-3 Alcohol Sensor Module MQ-3 gas sensor has high sensitivity to alcohol, and has good resistance to disturbances of gasoline, smoke and vapor. The sensor could be used to detect alcohol with different concentration; it is with low cost and suitable for different application. Sensitive material of MQ-3 gas sensor is SnO2, which with lower conductivity in clean air. When the target alcohol gas exists, sensor’s conductivity is proportional to the gas concentration. Description: 1. Model No: MQ-3. 2. Heater voltage: 5±0.2V. 3. Loop voltage: ≤24V (DC) 4. Load resistance: Adjustable. 5. Heating Resistance: 31Ω±3Ω (Room temperature). 6. Heating Power: ≤ 900mW. 7. Surface thermal resistance: 2Kohm-20Kohm (0.4mg/L alcohol). 8. Sensitivity: Rs (in air)/Rs (0.4mg/L alcohol) ≥ 5. Application Example with Arduino Uno: Connect the MQ-3 alcohol sensor module to Arduino Uno board as shown below: Programming Code /* MQ-3 Alcohol Sensor Circuit with Arduino */ const int AOUTpin=A0; //the AOUT pin of the alcohol sensor goes into analog pin A0 of the arduino const int DOUTpin=8; //the DOUT pin of the alcohol sensor goes into digital pin D8 of the arduino const int ledPin=13; //the anode of the LED connects to digital pin D13 of the arduino int limit; int value; void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); pinMode(DOUTpin, INPUT); pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); } void loop() { value= analogRead(AOUTpin); //reads the analaog value from the alcohol sensor's AOUT pin limit= digitalRead(DOUTpin); //reads the digital value from the alcohol sensor's DOUT pin Serial.print(" Alcohol value: "); Serial.println(value); //prints the alcohol value Serial.print("Limit: "); Serial.print(limit); //prints the limit reached as either LOW or HIGH (above or underneath) delay(100); if (limit == HIGH) { digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);//if limit has been reached, LED turns on as status indicator } else{ digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); //if threshold not reached, LED remains off } } Result: Open up the Serial Monitor with Baud rate of 115200, the alcohol level detected will be shown as analog value. The alcohol limit value can be set with sensitivity potentiometer: if the alcohol level detected is below the set limit, the D0 green indicator will be off. If detected alcohol level is beyond the set limit, the DO LED will light up. Reference URL GET IN TOUCH We'd love to hear from you Contact Us

Back Interfacing of Rain Drop Sensor with Arduino Uno. What is a Rain Drop Sensor? A raindrop sensor is a board on which nickel is coated in the form of lines. It works on the principle of resistance. The rain Sensor module allows the measurement of moisture via analog output pins and it provides a digital output when a threshold of moisture exceeds. The module is based on the LM393 op amp. It includes the electronics module and a printed circuit board that “collects” the rain drops. As raindrops are collected on the circuit board, they create paths of parallel resistance that are measured via the op amp. Material Required: Material Quantity Arduino Uno 1 Raindrop sensor 1 Jumper cables 4 Pinout Diagram: Circuit Diagram: Vcc +5 Volts Power Source GND Ground or negative power source A0 Analog Output – A0 Tested Programming Code: const int sensorMin = 0; const int sensorMax = 1024; void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); } void loop() { int sensorReading = analogRead(A0); int range = map(sensorReading, sensorMin, sensorMax, 0, 3); switch (range) { case 0: Serial.println("RAINING"); break; case 1: Serial.println("RAIN WARNING"); break; case 2: Serial.println("NOT RAINING"); break; } delay(1000); } Precautions: Double-check the connections before powering on the circuit. Don’t use loose jumper cables. Check whether the proper board is selected from Arduino IDE. Ensure proper placement of Rain drop Sensor for correct working. Don’t lose hope if Rain Drop Sensor does not run properly for the first time, try again. Conclusion: Once your sketch is running, you have to open your serial monitor. There you can see the Moisture or Rain on the Board. Reference URL GET IN TOUCH We'd love to hear from you Contact Us

Back Interfacing of Metal Touch Sensor with Arduino. What is a Metal Touch Sensor? A metal touch sensor is a type of switch that only operates when it's touched by a charged body. It has a high-frequency transistor which can conduct electricity when receiving electromagnetic signals. The sensor has 3 main components on its circuit board. First, the sensor unit at the front of the module which measures the area physically and sends an analog signal to the second unit, the amplifier. The amplifier amplifies the signal, according to the resistant value of the potentiometer, and sends the signal to the analog output of the module. The third component is a comparator which switches the digital out and the LED if the signal falls under a specific value. In this experiment, touch the base electrode of a transistor with fingers to make it conduct electricity, for human body itself is a kind of conductor and an antenna that can receive electromagnetic waves in the air. These electromagnetic wave signals collected by human body are amplified by the transistor and processed by the comparator on the module to output steady signals. You can control the sensitivity by adjusting the potentiometer. Please notice: The signal will be inverted; that means that if you measure a high value, it is shown as a low voltage value at the analog output. Technical data / Short description Outputs a signal if the metal pike of the Sensor was touched. You can adjust the sensitivity of the sensor with the controller. Digital Out: At the moment of contact detection, a signal will be outputted. Analog Out: Direct measuring value of the sensor unit. LED1: Shows that the sensor is supplied with voltage LED2: Shows that the sensor detects a magnetic field Material Required: Material Quantity Arduino Uno 1 Metal Touch Sensor 1 Jumper cables 4 Pinout Diagram: This sensor doesn't show absolute values (like exact temperature in °C or magnetic field strength in mT). It is a relative measurement: you define an extreme value to a given normal environment situation and a signal will be send if the measurement exceeds the extreme value. Tested Programming Code: // Declaration and initialization of the input pin int Analog_Eingang = A0; int Digital_Eingang = 3; void setup () { pinMode (Analog_Eingang, INPUT); pinMode (Digital_Eingang, INPUT); Serial.begin (9600); } // The program reads the current value of the input pins // and outputs it via serial out void loop () { float Analog; int Digital; // Current value will be read and converted to the voltage Analog = analogRead (Analog_Eingang) * (5.0 / 1023.0); Digital = digitalRead (Digital_Eingang); // and outputted here Serial.print ("Analog voltage value:"); Serial.print (Analog, 4); Serial.print ("V, "); Serial.print ("Extreme value:"); if(Digital==1) { Serial.println (" reached"); } Else { Serial.println (" not reached yet"); } Serial.println ("----------------------------------------------------------------"); delay (200); } Precautions: 1. Double check the connections before powering on the circuit. 2. Don’t use loose jumper cables. 3. Check whether proper board is selected from Arduino IDE. 4. Ensure proper placement of sensor for correct working. 5. Don’t lose hope if Sensor does not run properly for the first time, try again. Conclusion: You can successfully interface metal touch sensor and check for different conductivity values and can use it to detect different bodies when they come in contact.

Back Interfacing of Force Pressure Sensor with Arduino Uno. What is a Force Pressure Sensor? An FSR (Force Sensitive Resistor) or Force Pressure Sensor is a sensor that allows you to measure physical pressure, weight and squeezing. The resistance of an FSR varies as the force on the sensor increases or decreases. When no pressure is being applied to the FSR, its resistance will be larger than 1MΩ. The harder you press on the sensor’s head, the lower the resistance between the two terminals drops. By combining the FSR with a static resistor to create a voltage divider, you can produce a variable voltage that can be read by a microcontroller’s analog-to-digital converter. Material Required: Material Quantity Arduino Uno 1 Force Pressure Sensor 1 Jumper cables 4 LED 1 Resistor 1 ( 10 k) Pinout Diagram: Circuit Diagram: The connections are pretty easy and straight forward. Make the circuit by referring the images. The FSR has two pins, one will be connected to 5V pin. The other to A0 directly and to Gnd pin via a resistor. If you need to connect the LED and control it's brightness, then connect it across pin 13 and Gnd of the Arduino. Tested Programming Code: int fsrPin = 0; // the FSR and 10K pulldown are connected to a0 int fsrReading; // the analog reading from the FSR resistor divider void setup(void) { Serial.begin(9600); } void loop(void) { fsrReading = analogRead(fsrPin); Serial.print("Analog reading = "); Serial.print(fsrReading); // the raw analog reading if (fsrReading == 0) { Serial.println(" - No pressure"); } else if (fsrReading < 10) { Serial.println(" - Light touch"); } else if (fsrReading < 50) { Serial.println(" - Light squeeze"); } else if (fsrReading < 150) { Serial.println(" - Medium squeeze"); } else { Serial.println(" - Big squeeze"); } delay(1000); } Precautions: 1. Double check the connections before powering on the circuit. 2. Don’t use loose jumper cables. 3. Check whether proper board is selected from Arduino IDE. 4. Ensure proper placement of Force Pressure Sensor for correct working. 5. Don’t lose hope if Force Pressure Sensor does not run properly for the first time, try again. Conclusion: Once your sketch is running, you have to open your serial monitor. There you can see the Pressure applied on the sensor as Light , Big or No squeeze.

Back Interfacing of GSM 800 L Modules with Arduino. What is a GSM Module ? The SIM800L is a cheap and portable GSM breakout board with all the capabilities of the larger SIM900 shields. In this Arduino SIM800L tutorial, I will help you get started with this nifty device. Sending and receiving texts with your Arduino have never been easier! SIM800L Introduction Here are the features of the SIM800L breakout board: 2G quad-band @ 850/900/1800/1900 MHz Receive and make calls using the speaker and microphone outputs Receive and send SMS Connect to the Internet via GPRS Listen to FM radio broadcasts Accepts AT Commands From the specification of SIM800L we would able to find out that its: Operating Voltage: 3.3 - 5 Volts Recommended voltage: 3.4 - 4.4 Volts Recommended Current: 1 – 2 Amp Therefore, if we use voltages below 3.4, either the SIM800L will not work or it will work but not all its features are responding (e.g unable to read SIM card). But if use voltage equal to its MAXIMUM operating voltage, the module might heat up and then got destroyed, or if we use ABOVE operating voltage, well, it will absolutely destroy the module. Most important, we should not supply a current above 2 Amp (e.g 5 Amp) to the module, it will destroy the module even if your voltage is in 3.4 - 4.4 volts range. But here in our tutorial, you will observe that the module get 5V supply from arduino. That’s sound risky, but as my measurement, computation and observation, 5V pin in Arduino generate current from 500mA -1 Amp which gives a maximum power of 5 Watts. 5 watts qualifies from recommended power which would not cause the module to heat up or destroyed. That’s why 5V pin in Arduino qualifies as a supply voltage. If the power to the SIM800L is enough, the on-board LED starts blinking. The frequency of the blinking means something: Every second: searching for a network. Every three seconds: connected to a network. Twice per second: connected through GPRS. Antennas are essential for this kind of module especially if your project is indoors. Without an antenna, there would not be enough transmitting power for the SIM800L to perform GSM services such as calls and SMS. Material Required: Material Quantity Arduino Uno 1 SIM 800L 1 Jumper cables 6 Breadboard 1 Pinout Diagram: Circuit Diagram: Note: Make sure you already inserted your SIM card before powering the module. If not, you will not see any changes in the module LED indicator. SIM800 VCC ↔ Arduino 5v SIM800 GND ↔ Arduino GND SIM800 SIM_TXD ↔ Arduino pin 3 SIM800 SIM_RXD ↔ Arduino pin 2 Step 2: Code Download and Add Adafriut Fona library to your Arduino library. Then open and upload the Fonatest sample code from Adafruit Fona. Open Serial monitor then change baudrate to 115200 and choose NL & CR. Then you'll see Menu of test setup, choose anything you want to test (e.g send and receive message).

Back Interfacing of 28BYJ Stepper Driver with Arduino. What is so special about steppers? A stepper motor can move in accurate, fixed angle increments known as steps. For practical purposes, a stepper motor is a bit like a servo: you can tell it to move to a pre-defined position and can count on getting fairly consistent results with multiple repetitions. Servos though, are usually limited to a 0-180 degree range, while a stepper motor can rotate continuously, similar to a regular DC motor. The advantage of steppers over DC motors is that you can achieve much higher precision and control over the movement. The downside of using steppers is that they are a bit more complex to control than servos and DC motors . The 28BYJ-48 Stepper Motor Datasheet The 28BYJ-48 is a small, cheap, 5 volt geared stepping motors. These stepping motors are apparently widely used to control things like automated blinds, A/C units and are mass produced. Due to the gear reduction ratio of *approximately* 64:1 it offers decent torque for its size at speeds of about 15 rotations per minute (RPM). With some software “trickery” to accelerate gradually and a higher voltage power source (I tested them with 12 volts DC) I was able to get about 25+ RPM. These little steppers can be purchased together with a small breakout board for the Arduino compatible ULN2003 stepper motor driver for less than $5. Quite a bargain, compared to the price of a geared DC motor, a DC motor controller and a wheel encoder! The low cost and small size makes the 28BYJ-48 an ideal option for small robotic applications, and an excellent introduction to stepper motor control with Arduino. Here are the detailed specs of the 28BYJ-48 stepper motor. Motor Type Unipolar stepper motor Connection Type 5 Wire Connection (to the motor controller) Voltage 5-12 Volts DC Frequency 100 Hz Step mode Half-step mode recommended(8 step control signal sequence) Half-step mode: 8 step control signal sequence (recommended) 5.625 degrees per step / 64 steps per one revolution of the internal motor shaft Full Step mode: 4 step control signal Step angle sequence 11.25 degrees per step / 32 steps per one revolution of the internal motor shaft Manufacturer specifies 64:1 . Some patient and diligent people on the Arduino forums have disassembled the gear train of these little motors and determined that the exact gear ratio is in fact 63.68395:1 . My observations confirm their findings. These means that in the recommended half-step mode we will have:64 steps per motor rotation x 63.684 gear ratio = Gear ratio 4076 steps per full revolution (approximately). Wiring to the ULN2003 controller A (Blue), B (Pink), C (Yellow), D (Orange), E (Red, Mid- Point) Weight 30g Material Required: Material Quantity Arduino Uno 1 Stepper Driver 1 Jumper cables 6 Stepper Motor 1 Pinout Diagram: The motor has 4 coils of wire that are powered in a sequence to make the magnetic motor shaft spin. When using the full-step method, 2 of the 4 coils are powered at each step. The default stepper library that comes pre-installed with the Arduino IDE uses this method. The 28BYH-48 datasheet specifies that the preferred method for driving this stepper is using the half-step method, where we first power coil 1 only, then coil 1 and 2 together, then coil 2 only and so on…With 4 coils, this means 8 different signals, like in the table below. Circuit Diagram: Wiring the ULN2003 stepper motor driver to Arduino Uno : The ULN2003 stepper motor driver board allows you to easily control the 28BYJ-48 stepper motor from a microcontroller, like the Arduino Uno. One side of the board side has a 5 wire socket where the cable from the stepper motor hooks up and 4 LEDs to indicate which coil is currently powered. The motor cable only goes in one way, which always helps. On the side you have a motor on / off jumper (keep it on to enable power to the stepper). The two pins below the 4 resistors, is where you provide power to the stepper. Note that powering the stepper from the 5 V rail of the Arduino is not recommended. A separate 5-12 V 1 Amp power supply or battery pack should be used, as the motor may drain more current than the microcontroller can handle and could potentially damage it. In the middle of the board we have the ULN2003 chip. At the bottom are the 4 control inputs that should be connected to four Arduino digital pins . Hooking it up to the Arduino Connect the ULN2003 driver IN1, IN2, IN3 and IN4 to digital pin 3, 4, 5 and 6 respectively on the Arduino Uno. Connect the positive lead from a decent 5-12V battery pack to the “+” pin of the ULN2003 driver and the ground to the “-” pin. Make sure that the “on/off” jumper next to the “-” pin is on. If you power the Arduino from a different battery pack, connect the grounds together. Arduino stepper code and the AccelStepper library The default stepper library that comes pre-installed with the Arduino IDE supports the full-step method only and has limited features. It does not run the 28BYJ-48 motors very efficiently and getting two of them running at the same time for a differential drive robot is a bit more difficult. I came across example sketch by 4tronix that used the half-step method with no additional libraries. Their code worked well and I was able to modify it, so that I can run two steppers at the same time. Still, I was only able to get my stepper motor spinning fairly slow and it was getting quite warm, for some reason. Additionally, that sample code uses delays for the steps and that will cause some issues when we start adding more complex functions in the loop and hook up various sensors. Then I came across the AccelStepper library. It runs the 28BYJ-48 steppers very efficiently (they never go as hot as with the other options I tried) and also supports acceleration (which allows the stepper to get to a higher speed). The library uses non blocking code for the steps and has quite a few other nice features. After some messing around with the documentation and the examples I got everything up and running. Below is the code that will slowly accelerate the 28BYJ-48 in one direction, then decelerate to a stop and accelerate in the opposite direction. Naturally, make sure you download and install the AccelStepper library first! #include #define HALFSTEP 8 // Motor pin definitions #define motorPin1 3 // IN1 on the ULN2003 driver 1 #define motorPin2 4 // IN2 on the ULN2003 driver 1 #define motorPin3 5 // IN3 on the ULN2003 driver 1 #define motorPin4 6 // IN4 on the ULN2003 driver 1 // Initialize with pin sequence IN1-IN3-IN2-IN4 for using the AccelStepper with 28BYJ-48 AccelStepper stepper1 ( HALFSTEP , motorPin1 , motorPin3 , motorPin2 , motorPin4 ); void setup () { stepper1 . setMaxSpeed ( 1000.0 ); stepper1 . setAcceleration ( 100.0 ); stepper1 . setSpeed ( 200 ); stepper1 . moveTo ( 20000 ); } //--(end setup )--- void loop () { //Change direction when the stepper reaches the target position if ( stepper1 . distanceToGo () == 0 ) { stepper1 . moveTo (- stepper1 . currentPosition ()); } stepper1 . run (); } The code above will not push this motor to its limit. You can experiment with the acceleration and speed settings to see what is the best you can squeeze out. Note that for nigher speeds, you will likely need a higher voltage DC source. If you got your stepper running, here is the code that the StepperBot from the video above is running. You will need to adjust the speed, as well variables based on your base and wheel sizes, if you want to have your bot moving in a square path. #include #define HALFSTEP 8 // motor pins #define motorPin1 3 // IN1 on the ULN2003 driver 1 #define motorPin2 4 // IN2 on the ULN2003 driver 1 #define motorPin3 5 // IN3 on the ULN2003 driver 1 #define motorPin4 6 // IN4 on the ULN2003 driver 1 #define motorPin5 8 // IN1 on the ULN2003 driver 2 #define motorPin6 9 // IN2 on the ULN2003 driver 2 #define motorPin7 10 // IN3 on the ULN2003 driver 2 #define motorPin8 11 // IN4 on the ULN2003 driver 2 // Initialize with pin sequence IN1-IN3-IN2-IN4 for using the AccelStepper with 28BYJ-48 AccelStepper stepper1 ( HALFSTEP , motorPin1 , motorPin3 , motorPin2 , motorPin4 ); AccelStepper stepper2 ( HALFSTEP , motorPin5 , motorPin7 , motorPin6 , motorPin8 ); // variables int turnSteps = 2100 ; // number of steps for a 90 degree turn int lineSteps = - 6600 ; //number of steps to drive straight int stepperSpeed = 1000 ; //speed of the stepper (steps per second) int steps1 = 0 ; // keep track of the step count for motor 1 int steps2 = 0 ; // keep track of the step count for motor 2 boolean turn1 = false ; //keep track if we are turning or going straight next boolean turn2 = false ; //keep track if we are turning or going straight next void setup () { delay ( 3000 ); //sime time to put the robot down after swithing it on stepper1 . setMaxSpeed ( 2000.0 ); stepper1 . move ( 1 ); // I found this necessary stepper1 . setSpeed ( stepperSpeed ); stepper2 . setMaxSpeed ( 2000.0 ); stepper2 . move (- 1 ); // I found this necessary stepper2 . setSpeed ( stepperSpeed ); } void loop () { if ( steps1 == 0 ) { int target = 0 ; if ( turn1 == true ) { target = turnSteps ; } else { target = lineSteps ; } stepper1 . move ( target ); stepper1 . setSpeed ( stepperSpeed ); turn1 = ! turn1 ; } if ( steps2 == 0 ) { int target = 0 ; if ( turn2 == true ) { target = turnSteps ; } else { target = - lineSteps ; } stepper2 . move ( target ); stepper2 . setSpeed ( stepperSpeed ); turn2 = ! turn2 ; } steps1 = stepper1 . distanceToGo (); steps2 = stepper2 . distanceToGo (); stepper1 . runSpeedToPosition (); stepper2 . runSpeedToPosition (); } Tested Programming Code: #define IN1 3 #define IN2 4 #define IN3 5 #define IN4 6 int Steps = 4096; //4096 or 768 int cstep = 0; void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); pinMode(IN1, OUTPUT); pinMode(IN2, OUTPUT); pinMode(IN3, OUTPUT); pinMode(IN4, OUTPUT); } void loop() { for(int x=0;x

Back Analog Joystick Interfacing with Arduino UNO. What is an Analog Joystick ? Analog joystick produces two voltages; one corresponding to position with respect to X-axis and another corresponding to the position with respect to Y-axis. The voltages produced depend on the position of the joystick. The Analog Joystick is similar to two potentiometers connected together, one for the vertical movement (Y-axis) and other for the horizontal movement (X-axis). The joystick also comes with a Select switch . It can be very handy for retro gaming, robot control or RC cars. Material Required: Material Quantity Arduino Uno 1 Analog Joystick 1 Jumper cables 5 Pinout Diagram: We need 5 connections to the joystick.

Back Interfacing GPS with Arduino (Neo-6M-001) What is a GPS Module? Every single location in the entire globe can be specified in terms of geographical coordinates. The geographical coordinate is a system which specifies any given location on the earth surface as latitude and longitude. There are devices which can read the geographical coordinates of a place with the help of the signals received from a number of satellites orbiting the earth. The system of satellites which helps in the positioning of a place is called Global Positioning System (GPS). The devices which can read the geographical coordinates of a place with the help of at least four GPS satellites are called GPS Receiver or simply GPS module. Specifications: • Build in 18X18mm GPS antenna • Anti-jamming technology • 5Hz position update rate • Operating temperature range: -40 TO 85°C • UART TTL socket • EEprom to store settings Material Required: Material Quantity Arduino Uno 1 GPS Module 1 Jumper cables 4 Working: GPS satellites circle the Earth twice a day in a precise orbit. Each satellite transmits a unique signal and orbital parameters that allow GPS devices to decode and compute the precise location of the satellite. GPS receivers use this information and trilateration to calculate a user's exact location. Essentially, the GPS receiver measures the distance to each satellite by the amount of time it takes to receive a transmitted signal. With distance measurements from a few more satellites, the receiver can determine a user's position and display it. To calculate your 2-D position (latitude and longitude) and track movement, a GPS receiver must be locked on to the signal of at least 3 satellites. With 4 or more satellites in view, the receiver can determine your 3-D position (latitude, longitude and altitude). Generally, a GPS receiver will track 8 or more satellites, but that depends on the time of day and where you are on the earth. Once your position has been determined, the GPS unit can calculate other information, such as: Speed Bearing Track Trip dist istance to destination Download and install required libraries for GPS to work in Arduino IDE (i) SoftwareSerial library (ii) TinyGPS library Click on the highlighted link to download the Library. Circuit Diagram: Connection of Arduino UNO and GPS module : Connect the four pins from UBLOX to an Arduino as follows: Ublox - Arduino GND - GND TX - Digital pin (D3) RX - Digital pin (D4) Vcc - 5Vdc Here, I suggest you to use external power supply to power the GPS module because minimum power requirement for GPS module to work is 3.3 V and Arduino is not capable of providing that much voltage.

So let’s get started. This will be a Bluetooth controlled car so for this project we will be using HC-05 Bluetooth module to receive the controlling data packets. We will also need an android app which will be sending the controlling data packets to the Bluetooth module. We will use a third party application ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.broxcode.arduinobluetoothfree&hl=en to download) for this purpose. Let's build the hardware (Body of the car) The car which we are building for this project will be a dual motor car. Two 12 v 200 rpm DC or BO motors. You can use a readymade chassis. Circuit Now let us build the circuit. CODE : Here we will use the direction of rotation of motors to control the direction of the car. Forward - Both motors move in forward direction. Backward - Both motors move in backward direction. Left - Left motor moves backwards and right motor moves forward. Right - Left motor moves forwards and right motor moves backward. Stop - Both motors stop Tested Programming Code: #include AF_DCMotor motor1(1); //motor1 is the left motor AF_DCMotor motor2(2); //motor2 is the right motor int val; void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); motor1.setSpeed(255); //motor speed is set motor2.setSpeed(255); Stop(); } void loop() { bt=Serial.read(); if(val=='1') //when the bluetooth module recieves 1 the car moves forward { forward(); } if(val=='2') //when the bluetooth module recieves 2 the car moves backward { backward(); } if(val=='3') //when the bluetooth module recieves 3 the car moves left { left(); } if(val=='4') //when the bluetooth module recieves 4 the car moves right { right(); } if(val=='5') //when the bluetooth module recieves 5 the car stops { Stop(); } } void forward() { motor1.run(FORWARD); motor2.run(FORWARD); } void backward() { motor1.run(BACKWARD); motor2.run(BACKWARD); } void left() { motor1.run(BACKWARD); motor2.run(FORWARD); } void right() { motor1.run(FORWARD); motor2.run(BACKWARD); } void Stop() { motor1.run(RELEASE); motor2.run(RELEASE); } Precautions: 1. Double check the connections before powering on the circuit. 2. Don’t use loose jumper cables. 3. Check whether proper board is selected from Arduino IDE. 4. Ensure proper placement of Bluetooth and Motor driver for correct working. 5. Don’t lose hope if it does not run properly for the first time, try again.
