The original car, modeled after a “Fast and Furious” Nissan Silvia, was a pretty basic RC with 2-channel on-off (non-proportional) style controls, and while Micah enjoyed […]

Having had a bit of an unproductive Easter break I think it’s about time I got back to posting the concluding details of how the transmitter for the Bluetooth RC was implemented. I built the PIC-based motor and servo controller before acquiring the BlueSMiRF module so initially I wrote the following simple Python script based

Last time we had a project on Arduino robots with Bluetooth and Android, and in that one our readers Mr. Paul asked how he can make an obstacle avoidance robot. So today I came up with another engineering project for electronics and communication students, Android and Bluetooth controlled robot using PIC Microcontroller with object detecting capability. After
