ABSTRACT

A remote-controlled vehicle is any mobile machine controlled by means

that are physically not connected with the origin external to the machine.
In this project, we make use of Bluetooth technology to control our
machine car. We do not call this a robot as this device does not have any
sensors. Thereby, senseless robots are machines. The project aims are to
design a Bluetooth control Arduino car and write a program into the
Arduino microprocessor. Arduino car contains an Arduino
microcontroller with basic mobility features. In this project, we make use
of Bluetooth technology to control our machine car.
After doing this only we can say that we have been able to create as per
our goal described. The device can be controlled by any smart device
with android. The major reason for using a Bluetooth-based tech is that
we can change the remote anytime – mobile phones, tablets, and laptops
and physical barriers like walls or doors do not affect the car controls.

Background:

Wireless or Bluetooth control cars are developed to make our day-to-day

life easy and simpler. Today for striving in this modern era it is necessary
to use modern technology to simplify our day-to-day activities.
Thousands of people die because of driving vehicles. If it can be remote-
controlled, we will be able to save thousands of lives. The drone started a
revolution in this regard. Bluetooth-controlled cars can be a
revolutionary project for our upcoming future. It can be used for
lowrange mobile surveillance devices, (military Applications where no
human intervention will be needed), Assistive devices (like wheelchairs),
home automation, etc. It is aimed to bring a huge groundbreaking change
in society by overcoming the hurdles we are facing today. Driverless cars
are providing mobility to many people who cannot drive which is an
added advantage to commuters who wish to use cars on daily basis.
Bluetooth control cars are the gadget of the future.

Problem statement:

Bluetooth Control cars can be a helping hand for the cripples, or for the
ones who want to drive but are unable due to many physical inabilities,
where human life is at risk, we can use it from a very distance as it is
fully wireless.

Project Overview:

The main processing unit consists of Arduino UNO to perform specified

operations. Arduino UNO board is used as the main microprocessor of
the device. It will run and will control the movement of the vehicle
through the use of the motor driver who will control the wheels. The
Programs are compiled using Arduino IDE and then the sketch is
uploaded to the board using a pc and a USB cable. Speed variations can
be achieved by making slight changes to the sketch. It is based on a
4wheel drive platform integrated with an ultra-sonic sensor to avoid
obstacles and line tracer sensors. It also has an infra-red remote
controller for the manual steering of the vehicle. The car is upgradable
and can replace, upgrade and expand the input sensors and add other
functionality by adding other modules.

Literature Review
Wireless control is one of the most important basic needs for all people all
over the world. Bluetooth is one of the most used wireless technologies.
A Bluetooth control car is such a car that can be controlled wirelessly
using a Bluetooth control system and Arduino. With the combination of
Arduino, and Bluetooth we can control many other things, like home
Lighting, air conditioners, and many more through our cell phones. The
Arduino can also contribute at large to the Smart Home system.
Nowadays it has made us easier to convert digital signals into physical
movements with such microcontrollers.
Today people are using autonomation in every sector. There are many
benefits, for example, it reduces the risk of injury, it is fast, it can work
day long, it is reliable, etc. This Bluetooth control car is just an example
of autonomation. This type of car is used in law enforcement and military
engagements for some the reasons like Hazard exposure which is
controlled from a location of relative safety. Such vehicles are used by
many police department bomb squads to defuse or detonate explosives.
These vehicles are also used in space exploration, by using such vehicle
NASA. ESA and ROSCOSMOS have explored and collected many data
from space, the moon, and mars. In recent days giant companies are
using remote control vehicles to deliver their products. And Many of the
giant factories have their transportation which is remotely controlled.

Here we have connected this 4-wheeler with Arduino and Bluetooth

Module/ There is an Android application that is already installed in the
remote device. We send our instruction to the vehicle with that
application, that application is connected with the module in the vehicle.
Bluetooth module transfer that instruction as a signal to the Arduino, and
Arduino works with that signal. In the Arduino, we have installed the
code which can work with the signals and convert those instructions to
the pre-defined signals. Signals were transferred to the motors, and the
car started running.
This car does not have advanced features but we can attach any kind of
features like line detecting, or obstacle detecting, even though we can
attach the camera to the vehicle and watch it with the remote. This one is
just a basic prototype of a remote-control car, we can add a lot of
advanced features and get an armed/especially capable RC Car. This
project aimed to design an automated vehicle prototype built with Arduino
and controlled with software developed on Android that can perform
manual or automatic paths. Until now research and analyzing the
simulation of experiments shown, it is believed that it is feasible to use
the prototype designed for cognitive development, for future users can
learn to insert custom paths that can process logic issues and more
complex mathematics allowing the prototype to perform the desired
movements. Analyzing the financial costs of design, it is believed that it is
feasible to construct this type of prototype because it presents a low cost
of the components used, particularly if they are chosen in a largescale

production. It is worth noting that both the Arduino programming

language and the language for Arduino in development are free, not
burdening additional costs for the development of the project, pointing
out that this applies also to the tools used for development.

Methodology
1. Tools:
● Chassis (Including motors and wheels):
The main body of the car consists of the chassis. Alongside there will be
four motors for the four wheels which will lead down the car. [4]

Page | 12
Bluetooth controlled car with arduino

Arduino Uno:
The Arduino Uno is an open-source microcontroller board based on the
Microchip ATmega328P microcontroller and developed by Arduino. cc.
The board is equipped with sets of digital and analog input/output pins
that may be interfaced with various expansion boards and other
circuits. [5]

L293D Motor Drive H-Shield:

The Motor Driver is a module for motors that allows you to control the
working speed and direction of two motors simultaneously. This Motor
Driver is designed and developed based on L293D IC. L293D is a 16 Pin
Motor Driver IC. This is designed to provide bidirectional drive currents
at voltages from 5 V to 36 V. Rotation of a motor depends on the enabled
pins

● Jumper Wires:
A jump wire (also known as jumper, jumper wire, DuPont wire) is an
electrical wire, or group of them in a cable, with a connector or pin at
each end (or sometimes without them
– simply "tinned"), which is normally used to interconnect the
components of a breadboard or other prototype or test circuit,
internally or with other equipment or components, without
soldering. [7]

● Battery:
A battery is an energy source consisting of one or more electrochemical
cells and terminals on both ends called an anode (-) and a cathode (+).
Here for the project, a 9V battery has been used. (In figure 5)

● Switch:
In figure 06, A switch is used for turning on the power of the vehicle. It
controls the battery connection of the vehicle.

● Bluetooth Module:
In figure 7 HC-05 6 Pin Wireless Serial Bluetooth Module is a Bluetooth
module for use with any microcontroller. It uses the UART protocol to
make it easy to send and receive data wirelessly. The HC-06 module is a
slave-only device. This means that it can connect to most phones and
computers using Bluetooth technology. [8]

Conclusion
This project consists of a basic prototype of a Bluetooth control car above
stated. The prototype car can recognize commands from users and can
turn the car left, right, and stop with great accuracy. It can be further
improved by using different sensors like ultrasonic or infrared and with
various levels of coding.
Our Bluetooth control car has a range of 10-20 meter with the mobile
Bluetooth controlling system. The range mostly depends on the receivers
transmission level. In the future, we could use rechargeable batteries like
Ni-Cd Battery or Li-ion batteries that could avoid the present
disadvantage. Also, we could make use of this RC Motor Car as a
surveillance system or rovers by adding a few more sensors and updating
the code. This would make them into robots. These robots could
selfmonitor under any human supervision, thereby reducing manpower.
These are just the alternatives, on which this project could be improvised
and updated. IoT or the internet of things is a very important part of both
computers and our daily lives. The above model describes how the
Arduino programs the car motor module and by IoT, we rotate the wheels
and give direction to the car. IoT allows us to work with different
platforms and it helps us to create various interesting modules to work on.
With the ever-increasing problems, our knowledge has to expand to adapt
better to the changes all around us. In the same way, it is hoped that this
activity is a small step that would lead us to further enhancements and
goals.
