An Arduino based bot that drives in the direction based on the input sent from the Serial Monitor

carBot.io

An Arduino based bot that drives in the direction based on the input sent from the Serial Monitor, Of course I wrote it in C/C++ so you dont have to. The Bot connects to your Laptop, PC or phone using a bluetooth module that i could not include in the Circuit Diagram but can be seen in the video (red module)

Circuit Diagram

Parts List

• Arduino UNO
• Motor
• L293D(Motor control chip)
• Breadboard
• Jumper Cables
• Bluetooth Module
• Bot chasis
• Wheels(2x)
• Full Kit available here(Arduino not Included)

Test Video

This video shows the car with a echo location sensor attacthed (not relevent to the code uploaded) to avoid collisions, i couldn't find a video with more finess but at least you can see the car move.

Note: the TinkerCad edition uses the original version of the code which lacks any current or future libraries

Updates

16/07/2022

Created a motors library to remove the motor code from main file and make the code more high level. The motor code houses all motor functions and defenitions.

Road Map

• Create a motor library
• Create a USART library
• Create a millis library
• Implement Variable Speed control
• Add Bluetooth Connection
• Make better controls
• Make updated Circuit Diagram
• 3D model a chassis of bot
