Arduino Bluetooth RC Car- screenshot thumbnail

Description

****This application is designed to be used with a MODIFIED RC car. You have to replace the car's stock control circuit with a micro controller. This involves programming. The application will not work with a brand new, out of the box RC car. Please visit the website before you download the application.

The application allows you to control an Arduino based RC car over Bluetooth. This is done using a Bluetooth enabled Android phone. Visit this site https://sites.google.com/site/bluetoothrccar/ for the Arduino code and control circuit. The app lets you control the car with either buttons or the phone's accelerometer. A slider bar allows you to control your car's velocity if the car's control circuit has this feature. There are also two buttons for front and back lights. A flashing light lets you know when the phone is connected to the car, and arrows light up letting you know the car's driving direction.

Works well After trying Author's RC "Arduino Joystick Controller", i tested this one too, and it works good. If i may, i have some notes and suggestions. When program is started and connected to car, forward button won't work until speed slider is changed. Another, " cosmetic" thing is that would be nice to have options for different background, button looks, etc. And i personaly have a wish for combination of both Author's projects : two joystick interface (imuch more pleasant to use), and two PWM motors controls.

Trains I have purchased a accucraft ruby live steam and was trying to figure out a why to be able to run it off my phone instead of a rc controller and this app will get me one step closer to running my train on my phone!

This is a great way to connect to wheeled robots. The character commands are very easy to code for on the Arduino side.

James LaBelle

Very stable app. Works great with the arduino code. Just with there was a button for using servo motors!

Hey will this control a McLaren Mercedes rc car like a toy one cuz if yes 😄 but if no 😢 but if can control real car just arduno it then 😂😆😆 #I'm gonna hack ya 😆 Cray cray

No, you need to add a microcontroller and bluetooth module to the rc car.

Arzon Barua March 20, 2016

Really greate one It helps my thesis project.

Reza Varghayi July 27, 2016

Works fine the firs time i run it after installation, but the times after that it shows some of the buttons in black

Ray September 8, 2016

Great app I just wish there was a tank style layout with two pairs of vertical buttons

Mr. metal guitarist August 6, 2016

Works well Trying to control my science project robo and yes it worked very well...😃

Dheeraj veergoudar August 20, 2016

Try it this is best app to control arduino Bluetooth for u r bought or rc car

intelligence me July 20, 2016

It nice app for controlling your rc cars and you have nice interface

Tanish Kumar April 10, 2016

Not work

Shashank Shivakumar August 17, 2016

Works great It is useful for the people who wants to make a robots

Hiệp Phạm Hoàng May 16, 2016

Need to improve UI More modern, plz

roy dungo September 22, 2016

Awesome... I keep looking and installing this app to my smartphone...

Md Abdullah Al Nasim May 13, 2016

This is an great app to control robot.

Worked great on my tracked vehicle project. One problem however was when I tried it on a Nexus 10 tablet running Android 5.1, the settings menu could not be displayed (the setting icon spins but no menu, also long press on Android square did not bring up the setting menu). Both setting methods worked fine on my LG Leon phone, so I just use the phone. This app is fantastic to have. Is your App source available on github?

Shane Pucan February 24, 2016

Great! This is by far the best app for controlling an rc in this store. But I have a problem, over time, all the directional controls, (left, right, forward, etc) suddenly becomes reverse! I have no idea why. Upon power on, it works very smoothly. But after maybe a few seconds (maybe 30 seconds) it starts to behave strangely, and then all the controls become reverse. I already tried changing from continuous stream to on change/touch but it's still the same. Any idea what might be causing this? Thanks for your Repl

Andi.Co March 12, 2016

I can't really come up with an answer for the glitch you are experiencing. Are you using the arduino code provided in the tutorial website, or are you using your own code?

Suresh GM February 22, 2016

If bluetooth is already turned ON before starting app, upon closing this app the the connection closes. I have connected my moto 360 watch, whenever I close this app my connection to watch terminates.

fahimshahriar sakib July 20, 2015

I would like to give 5* Worked absolutely awsm in my device. This is wonderful app. Bt suddenly it stopped working. Whenever i want to connect it with my car it crashes until i reboot my phone again. Others things are more than fine. Plz fix this for jellybean 4.2.2

Arnab Das January 27, 2016

Great Work This app is great. But we are having 10s delay after we press the buttons to move the car. How can this be solved? My os is android kitkat and bluetooth module is HC-06.

Andrija Ersek May 16, 2015

Big lag Application works, but on mine phone, Android 4.4, is 5s delay when I press key until robot reacts. With other applications it is in same moment.

Andi.Co August 20, 2015

Try changing the data stream from continuous to on change. Your micro-controller might be getting overflowed by commands if you don't filter them in you code.

Alberto Díaz López February 26, 2015

Very good app I like so much this app but i can't use it properly, i can connect with the Arduino but i can't make that it makes nothing. Good app

matthias lichtenegger January 22, 2016

on my oppo I MUST activate BT first, otherwise I'm in an endless loop: "BT disabled, bye" and the android security management asks me to set permissions for the app. So, if you have problems: Activate BT, wait 10 seconds and start the app

Work on my android 4 kit kat and lower But didn't work on android 5 lolipop

Jatin Arora October 30, 2015

Good Its good application but i would give it 5 start if u add one window in it so dat whatever data we are sending to phone that can be displayed on mobile..

Ismael Garcia December 14, 2015

Muy buena aplicación. Funciona perfectamente en un Samsung Galaxy A5. Aunque no se pueden configurar los comandos que se envían, están todos índicados en la ayuda.

Varun Kumaran January 31, 2016

really useful... am not able to differentiate stop and stop all, which are the buttons that represent stop and stop all?

Andi.Co March 12, 2016

The stop 'S' command is only for the motors. The stop all 'D' command is meant to be used when you lose connection. It will stop the motors as well as turn off the car's lights and any other devices connected to it.

Brett Peggs November 8, 2015

Very well organised app and so easy to control my Arduino Bluetooth Car! Superb!

Marcus Jefferson November 23, 2014

Thanks! Used this for a final project in one of my classes! Works very well

Iman Grant January 27, 2015

Good explanation What if i want to change from arduino to PIC board? Have u done it before? Can i know how to do it using PIC board?

Andi.Co February 19, 2015

I have not used a PIC microcontroller. But they do have TTL capabilities that would work with the Bluetooth module.

zain zain November 27, 2015

Best app Its the best app for controlling devices through arduiono.. it gives various options and handlings..

nakul gwyamaru November 19, 2015

I want update with two slider

Viktoras Šidlauskas January 17, 2015

Amazing It can be used with arduino robot easily!

honnesh nathan November 26, 2015

It is my appp
