View Full Version : How do you use a servo motor with an Arduino using a bluetooth module?

We were given the challenge to control a Servo Motor connected to an Arduino Uno through Bluetooth. We can control it without Bluetooth and through the code, of course, but we are totally stumped now. We could really use help with a diagram and maybe the Arduino code!

Anything useful there?

The HC-05 that is mentioned in the article posted by Steve works fairly well. I used a similar one over the summer for a project without any issues once I had it up and running (Arduino to a PC). Just don't wire it wrong. It is not very forgiving when you apply power where it doesn't belong. I originally saw a link to one here.

Approach this project in it's component parts:
1) Servo control.
2) Serial communication.
3) Translating Serial data to values that are relative to your project.

Attack each piece by it's self. Once you understand each part, put them together.

Here is a little push in the right direction, well, maybe a direction. ;)
