Android Controlled RC Car Unit

An enhanced model of a remote controlled car (RC) unit designed on Arduino micro controller, and controlled by smart phone running on android application is proposed. The RC car is meant to be used in search mission in the occurrence of natural disaster. It is designed to be controlled wirelessly, as well as, it also avoid hitting the obstacles. The car uses bidirectional DC motors connected with motor driver. It is equipped with Infrared sensor, a Wi-Fi camera controlled by servo motor, Bluetooth module (HC-05) chip, 9V power battery, and Arduino Mini Pro micro controller board. The android application, uses embedded orientation sensor of smart phone, then perform the calculations to map motor values, providing full control to rotation of RC car. The control commands are transmitted to car through Bluetooth, and camera data is transmitted by car to smart phone using Wi-Fi in real time.
