How to make a controlled Arduino Robot via Bluetooth by using an Android Device

JayGajudo's picture

Can you Please teach me How to make a controlled Arduino Robot via Bluetooth by using an Android Device :D 

 

I found some Application in Play Store about the Bluetooth controller, it is called Bluebots ,a Bluetooth remote control for robot. (see below)

Comming to grips with arduino, bootloaders & ISP...

kariloy's picture

Here's the deal, I'm building my first robot & I have an Arduino One board, but I've realized that the board is too pretty for me to use up in my current (and first) project and besides it would be a waste.

My first thought was:

Well, maybe I can pull out the ATmel chip on the board and stick a blank one there, upload the desired code there, take it out and follow some breaduino tutorial to build around it.

Wifi/ Ip enabled car

Hi

I am intrested in making a car that can be controlled anywhere through wifi. I do no know where to start and how to do it. Does anyone know what to use (arduino? arduino with ethernet shield? arduino with wifi shield?) or any good step by step instrunctions on this?

Anything would help

Thanks

Rocket Brand Studios now carries the Micro Magician

Chris the Carpenter's picture

 

A wonderful package showed up today and inside were the first batch of the new Dagu Micro Magician Arduino board. Put simply, it is awesome.

 

 

It is really packed full of goodness, with IR, a sweet motor driver, and even an accelerometer. Just a great board for small bots.

2WD Robot, ArduinoMega 1280, PanPing sensor problem

ielektros.de's picture

Hello everybody. 

First sorry for my English but not good. I want to ask the profis about my robotics problems. :) 
I have a 2wd mobile platform. I played with this so many and my old simple codes was working well. 

But I decided, I want to upgrade a little bit my "stupid" code which was very good with the fixed ping sensor and some IR sensor but too simple. Than I rebuilded all IR sensor first, and builded a little servo for the PING sensor.

Help with Programming (arduino)

mlandergan's picture

Hi LMR,

I've been working on my new robot, which has a lynxmotion A4WD1 base with an arduino as its microcontroller. I must confess that I am not the best programmer and I am still learning. I have found the follow code online and I was wondering if anyone could help me adjust it to be able to turn left and right. As of right now the program only tells the motors to go foward or reverse at full speed or half speed. The code:

 

 #include <SoftwareSerial.h>

Roster is the Processing file and the other is for the Arduino oooooo spooky image the black and wight 1 that is ! Read more

NFR24L01 bluetooth module and SPI

Hi

 

I am working on my first robot. Ibased it on an ArduinoMega128 and can make it drive a pre-programmed pattern. I now want to control it via bluetooth from my android phone. For this I was given a small BT module yesterday. It is based on the NFR24L01 chip, and contains no serial interface, but rather the default SPI that the chip communicates with. I know the Arduino has an SPI interface on leg 50-53. However, away from connecting, I have no idea on how to begin.

 

I know I need to add the #include spi.h to my Arduino sketch.

I started this robot a couple of weeks ago, it's just plywood, plastic wheels, some hitec 615mg servos that were laying around modified for continous rotation. … Read more

Interfacing yor robot to your PC using Gobetwino (can work with any MCU)

OddBot's picture

I am currently working on a project where I need to teach my robot to "see" using an ultrasound sensor. In particular it must find and collect drink cans on a playfield and return them to a specific location.

To make the programming easier I wanted to take the sensor output from the robot and display it on the computer as a chart. As I am a terrible programmer I did a quick google search and came up with Gobetwino.

Robot camera?

Chowmix12's picture

I need a camera like a CMUcam or a AVRcam for my robot. I was thinking about getting a CMUcam or AVRcam, but there hasn't been much activity lately by the makers of these cameras, so I'm a little hesitant. I want to be able to do onboard color tracking, blob detection, etc.. And I have an Arduino Mega and Duemilinove to use on my robot. Any help from the LMR society goes a long way, and I appreciate it. Thanks!

Good Robot Controller?

Ok I am planning on building a "small" humanoid robot that can has computer vision and can do many tasks. I am planning on using a small onboard computer to do all the processing so that it can be autonomous and reduce the need to have another computer on for it to work. Anyway I am looking for a small, not expensive, and easy to use, some what powerfull small computer or single board computer that has usb ports,can run off a small battery and can run lunix. I am thankful for all suggestions.

Work in progress. HexedBot can walk forward and backward. Still working on the driver program. Hopefully I'll get the video processing working so that he can follow … Read more

Anyone here ever try a Netduino? (C#)

I am getting one dirt cheap (less than the price of a Arduino!) All I know so far is it has a ARM chip and you program it in C# (sharp).

Sounds interesting, and more than a bit scary (anyone know C# so I can get help when I need it?)

WTF is going on here? Triggering External Audio via Grounding on Arduino

I'm using Fizikus' design to add audio cues to a project.  The schematic, from Ar-Du, looks like this:

Try ArduBlocks

Don't want to learn C (or for that reason the Arduino IDE)?

Could you make a small flowchart/block diagram of the program you want? Then (want) to change it into a running script?

ArduBlocks will do that for you! Translate your flowchart/block into a Arduino program and then show it in the Arduino IDE! Not only is this a great way to "model and test" it could also make a great way to learn to program scripts (then you know C!!!)

What type blocks does it have? Almost any you can imagine. Makes a robot control program fairly easy to write.

Fancontroller

Right, back again with an update on my idea for a kick-ass fanctroller. So far, I've been coding away and right now, I'm up to the point where the actual fan control is implemented (I've already written the LCD-commands, several input functions, a setup and a menu.) But I'm having some problems.
