The Robot Software

The robot software can be divided into several parts:

• control of the DC motor
• control of the servo motor
• distance measurement with the ultra-sonic sensor
• remote control through Bluetooth

First these sub-projects of the software for a remote controlled obstacle avoiding robot are programmed and tested individually before assembling these pieces into full fledged autonomous control program that will be run on the Arduino powered by a battery.

It can be controlled from another Arduino (Nano) onto which we have connected a joystick. The joystick is read out by the Nano and commands are sent to the robot's Arduino controller through Bluetooth.
