In this tutorial I’ll show you how you can control 2 DC motors via bluetooth with my brand new Android app.
It’s called “BlueArd” and It’s the 1.0 version. I want to upgrade my app later and add more features.
This app was created with MIT App Inventor. It’s a great place to start with android development.
