Description

***This application is meant to control an Arduino based RC car over Bluetooth.

If you want to precisely control your Bluetooth enabled Arduino RC car, this application lets you do that. Composed of two joysticks, you can independently control the car's steering and speed. You can also set the steering and speed ranges from within the application. And in case you have more that one car, each one can have its one set of ranges. In case you have a tank, you can control its cannon by just toggling a button. And since the Arduino can read sensor values, the application is able to receive six independent readings. The first two are floating point readings, while the remaining four are a single byte long. The application sends a command every 50ms. This feature lets the car detect when it is out of range, in which case it'll stop before crashing.

5 ★ Joystick controller is nice. I like how well it is documented. Very smooth operation. The battery voltage monitor works great- I use the internal 1.1 volt reference because my battery supply was only 4.5 volts maximum. Nice that he includes the formula for the resistors and scale increments. Initially, I did have a problem with the speed control- it was all or nothing. Turns out that on the Arduino Pro Mini (and Uno) if you chose PWM pin 9, it doesn't output PWM, but the other PWM pins do- it could be that the timer that would have been used for PWM on pin 9 was used for some other timer part of the program. So I chose PWM pin 3, and it works as expected.

5 ★ Started editing my cheap broken old rc car, and try to make an Analog behavior in the rc using sparkfun promicro, I think this apps just doing exactly what I want. Thanks..

5 ★ Would you please add ability to change deadpoint of forward backward. Because I need my device screen 45° tilting to my face and that is my deadpoint means stop value. Tanks

5 ★ It works perfectly. It would be better if I could customize more, like changing A B C icons, changing color, and so on.

5 ★ I love this app as it allows me to use multi touch and it sends simple to decode data.

1 ★ I should be able to put the data that has to be send to arduino

4 ★ Which pin i suppose to connect pan and tilt servo?

5 ★ Really good. Nice documentation.

5 ★ This is the only app I like for such job, but would love to be open source in order to customize it. I would totally change the colors and buttons

3 ★ I will love to havr yhe cide for my fist car project w ultrasonic.iwanna know if you can guve me the code to use the progtam in my little rc car w servo direcction. Thanks so much

4 ★ Car_With_Sensors_OnChange.ino:73: undefined reference to `L293::stopped_1W()' . Pls help

4 ★ link to tutorial page??

5 ★ Can't compile sowing error( sketch_aug15a.ino:2:18: warning: L293.h: No such file or directory sketch_aug15a:10: error: 'L293' does not name a type sketch_aug15a.ino: In function 'void loop()': sketch_aug15a:68: error: 'redCar' was not declared in this scope sketch_aug15a:74: error: 'redCar' was not declared in this scope sketch_aug15a:80: error: 'redCar' was not declared in this scope sketch_aug15a:86: error: 'redCar' was not declared in this scope sketch_aug15a:98: error: 'redCar' was not declared in this

5 ★ very simple and efficient

5 ★ Easy to connect to the module :-)
