I'll be specific: I want to control my old RC-car with my phone over bluetooth. Im no electrical pro, so I need some help picking the right parts for my project.
To get a quick overview I have taken two pictures of the RC car:
Steering: http://bildr.no/view/1046523
Engine: http://bildr.no/view/1046524
With my multimeter I have done the following observations (at multimeters 200 VDC (i dont know what 200 means)):
engine gets -6 wile driving backwards, +6 for forwards, 0 for standing still
steering is the same as the engine but right and left
Now, over to my buying list, sparkfun seems the be a good choice:
1x DEV-10174 Arduino Uno Starter Kit
1x PTR-09835 Battery Holder (for the arduino)
2x ROB-08907 Motor Driver (one of the engine, one for the steering)
1x WRL-10938 BlueSMiRF HID
Am I missing something? Is it possible to control a RC car over bluetooth with a mobile phone? Come to think about it, the motor should have some kind of energysource?
Thanks in advance
