Cost to build: 
$120
Time to build: 
5 hours

 

Bluetooth controlled Arduino robot. Send commands from a bluetooth terminal from an android phone to the arduino.

 

I'm using:

arduino uno: http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9950

sparkfun magician chassis: http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10825

adafruit motor shield: http://www.adafruit.com/products/81

bluesmirf silver: http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10269 

 

The ultrasonic sensor is set to stop the robot if it's less than 10cm away from an object. Work in progress..

Hi, thanks a lot! But I bought the app yesterday.. I'll have to adapt my code to make it work.

Was the code for the IPhone straight C++/C or did it require some objective-C to implement?

Also, do you have plans to create your own IPhone interface GUI?  Touch Screen up, down, left, right arrows, with acceleration and break buttons ?    Regardless, nice looking bot...love your results thus far.

 

*EDIT* Never mind the Iphone comment ... just reread your post :)  ... Same question about the GUI though...any plans to make your own interface on the Android?

I think you can make it work on iPhone if you can install a bluetooth terminal and pair with the bluesmirf module. I've been thinking of making a simple java app to control the robot, or just use one of the existing ones (ex: cellbots).
