Bluetooth-Controlled Car With HC-05 Module

Build a car that can be controlled wirelessly via a smartphone using Bluetooth communication.
Supplies
- Arduino Uno
- HC-05 Module
- 12V Rechargeable Battery
- White LED
- Geared DC Motor
- L298N Motor Driver
- Jumper Wires
ATTACH MOTORS TO THE BASE

Attach the motors as shown above
ATTACH ALL THE BOARDS TO THE BASE

Attach the boards according to space available
UPLOAD THE CODE
NOTE - It is advised that Bluetooth module should be attached to Arduino board after uploading code to avoid errors and prevent possible damage to Bluetooth module.
MAKE ALL THE CONNECTIONS

Follow the circuit diagram and make all the connections
ATTACH LIGHTS (OPTIONAL)
SELECTING BATTERIES
I have used 3 x 4 volts rechargeable batteries(lead acid) attached in series for powering the project, in case if the project does not work properly try attaching an additional 9 volts battery to the Arduino through the dc jack.
General Instructions
NOTE - If your car powers on and connects to the app but doesn't move (or only turns left and right but not forward or reverse), then the battery might not be providing sufficient power. Please check the battery and replace it with a fully charged one if necessary.
Additionally, ensure all connections are secure and the Bluetooth module is properly paired with your smartphone.
Default name for Bluetooth module is " HC-05 ".
Default password for Bluetooth module is " 0000 " or " 1234 ".
Download the Arduino Car Connect App to control the car via Bluetooth - Click Here To Download
(Sorry, the app is not available on the Google Play Store, kindly download the apk file and install the app.)
(The app is designed on MIT App Inventor and is safe to use.)
(Alternatively, You can download other apps from Play Store, but you will need to change some settings for the car to work.)
TESTING
a) Power on the car.
b) Open the Arduino Car Connect App.
c) Click on the connect button.
d) Press the direction/light buttons to control the car.
