Project 34:  Arduino Controlled by Android

This project shows how to control an andruino Led 
using Bluetooth and Android smartphone.

HC-05 Circuit Wiring:  
   HC05 Gnd      - Arduino pin Gnd
   HC05 3.3        - Arduino pin 3.3v
   HC05 Tx         - Arduino pin 3 (Tx)
   HC05 Rx         - Arduino pin 2 (Rx)
  
Block Diagram:

Note: use pin 2 and pin 3 for Rx and Tx

Hardware:
HC05 bluetooth 
Arduino phone (samsung galaxy) 
9v battery 
1 LEDconnecting wires
breadboard
Arduino R3 UNO board

#include <SoftwareSerial.h>

 int ledPin = 12;
char data = 0;  

void setup()
{
     pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);

     // serial.println("Hello World");
}

    {
    data = BTserial.read();              //Read incoming value and store it into data
    if(data == '1')                            //when data is equal to 1
      digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);     // then LED is ON
    else if(data == '0')                     //when data is equal to 0
      digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);     // then LED is OFF
       }
}

Challenges:
1. Try to control 2 leds using the smartphone, 
2. Try to control 3 servos.
3. Create an apps
4. Use smartphone terminal and serial monitor as a chatroom/text messaging
5. Control a robot using an android smartphone bluetooth terminal
6. Control a robot using the some of the iHackRobot apps just like as shown below

Arduino Robot controlled by an Android Smartphone:

A more sophisticated arduino android app. The app is an arduino controller that can turn ON and OFF six appliances in your home and even you car ignition by simply swiping the sliders on either ends. You can also use this app to control leds, servos, toy cars and even your robots. The great fun about this app is you can turn OFF all appliances by simply shaking the phone.
