Arduino Bluetooth Controled Boat - Vessel

Hello, in this project I will show you how to transform a simple RC boat to Bluetooth controlled through your Android smartphone!

In my rc boat I chose to build my own Arduino-based circuit because Arduino uno board doesn't fit inside it! But, in this tutorial, you can find an Arduino uno breadboard schematic so you can build it very easy ;)

Before starting, make sure that you have:

Arduino uno board
L293D motor driver
HC-06 Bluetooth module
RC Boat that can fit all the above !

Optional you will need 1x1MOhm & 1x100KOhm resistror to add a battery level control function.

For power, you can use the existing batteries (4x 1.5V AA), or replace them with a LiOn rechargeable battery pack.

Step 1: Two Propeller Navigation System

On simple RC boat toys you will find a "two propeller navigation system".

That means you don't need a rudder for changing directions. You can find more details here

Step 2: Breadboard Schematic

Make sure to build your circuit first on breadboard to test it ;)

You can use battery from 6V and adove.

Step 3: Code

Download and open file with Arduino ide. Read every line of code (+comments) to understand how it's working and then upload it to your Arduino uno board!
