Project 23: Fire Extinguishing Robot Multiple Functions
(1)Description:
The smart car has performed a single function in every previous project.
Can it display multiply functions at a time ? Positive.
In this last big project, we intend to use a complete code to control the smart car to show off all functions mentioned in previous projects. We use the keys on the Bluetooth APP to automatically switch various functions, quite simple and convenient.
(2)Flow Diagram:
Please referto Project 16 to install and configure Bluetooth APP
(3)Connection Diagram:
1. GND, VCC, SDA, and SCL of the 8x16 board are connected to G (GND), + (VCC), A4, and A5 of the expansion board.
2. VCC, IN+, IN-, and Gnd of the fan module are connected to 5V (V), 12 (S), 13 (S), and Gnd (G).
3. The brown wire, red wire, and orange wire of the servo are connected to Gnd (G), 5v (V), and D10.
4. RXD, TXD, GND, and VCC of the BT module are connected to TX, RX, G (GND), and 5V (VCC). STATE and BRK don’t need to be interfaced.
5. The pins “G”, “V”, and A of the left flame sensor are connected to G (GND), V (VCC), and A1, respectively; The right flame sensor is connected to G (GND), V (VCC), and A2, respectively.
6. The distal ports of the line tracking sensor are 11, 7, and 8.
(4)Test Code:
(Note: Do not connect the Bluetooth module before uploading the code, because uploading the code also uses serial communication, and there may be conflicts with the Bluetooth serial communication, which can cause the upload to fail.)

(5)Test Result
Before uploading the program code, the Bluetooth module needs to be removed; otherwise, the code upload will fail.
After uploading the code successfully, turn on location services on your device, and then connect the Bluetooth module.
Once the Bluetooth module is plugged in and powered on, and the mobile APP is successfully connected to the Bluetooth, we can use the mobile APP to control the tank robot.
You can also control the robot with the remote control.
