Remote Bluetooth Firework Igniter
Intro: Remote Bluetooth Firework Igniter
Wouldn't it be nice to ignite more than one firework at the same time? Or even have a safe distance to more dangerous explosives. In this project I will show you how to build a circuit which can do just that with the help of the Bluetooth functionality of your smartphone. Let's get started !
STEP 1: Watch the Video!
The video gives you an overview of what you need to do to build something similar. In the following steps I will present you more in depth information about it.
STEP 2: Order Your Parts!
Here you can find all the parts that I used during this project (affiliate links):

STEP 3: The Wiring!
Here you can find the schematic and pictures of how my final circuit and wiring inside my project box looks like.
STEP 4: Program You ΜC!
Use the Arduino IDE and my sketch to program your ATmega.
STEP 5: Download the App!
Here you can download the .apk file for your Android phone or the .aia file to import the project in your account of the MIT App Inventor.

Is it possible to use more than three connectors?
LokiG1 6 years ago
I've made this project, when it mesure with the voltmeter it show that it works but when I place a resistor to blow it up it does anything ? What can it be ?
Thanks for your time.

Will this work with a 12v Lead Acid Battery?

GreatScottLab 7 years ago
I think so
AndreasH17 7 years ago
Hi how can i unzip the .aia file because when i unzip it the usual way, then there is now .aia file in the folders. I'm using win 10
Thanks already!
LokiG1 7 years ago
There's a way to dowloand the wiring diagram in high quality to make zoom ?
GreatScottLab 7 years ago
You can dowload the pictures
LokiG1 7 years ago
Yes but when I donwload it and I make zoom is in poor quality and I can't read the values.
GreatScottLab 7 years ago
You can dowload it in its original resolution. It is not that hard.

Hello GreatScott! Can I use an ATtiny85 instead of the ATmega 8-16PU? Thanks
GreatScottLab 8 years ago
It is way harder to do because you need to create a serial connection to the bluetooth module through software.
Zé MariaL 8 years ago
Ok I will try in the breadboard. Thanks! And congratulations for your videos!
StephanS2 8 years ago
Yes, but you have less programming space and io pins to use. But it should be possible.
Zé MariaL 8 years ago
Ok thanks Stephan2!

I would suggest getting a roll of nichrome wire (around 26 or 28 AWG) for the igniters. Wrap 3 turns tightly around the fuse and clip your leads on. It lights in less than a second and doesn't stink like a burning resistor.
