PLATFORM BASED DEVELOPMENT!!

We turned to tutorials and verified our connections. Additionally, the code for efficiency posed its own set of challenges, but seeking guidance from team members.

Despite thorough connection checks, we discovered an oversight in the code – an incorrect pin assignment for the motor.  

This experience underscored the importance of meticulous wiring and precise coding in DC motor and Arduino projects, emphasizing the effectiveness of methodical rechecks in problem-solving. 

When encountering difficulties in controlling the DC motor with the Arduino board, our tro3ubleshooting process began with a thorough examination of our connections to ensure proper alignment.  

Subsequently, we meticulously reviewed and corrected any coding errors, such as inaccurate pin assignments. 

We identified a critical issue with the motor's power supply, which was causing voltage drops and impacting its performance. By upgrading the power supply and fine-tuning the code to better accommodate the motor's requirements, we successfully resolved the issue.

This transparent communication environment encouraged everyone to seek assistance when needed and share helpful resources

This experience emphasized the importance of thorough testing and meticulous attention to hardware specifications in Arduino projects.

These sub-parts can be divided into team members and those parts can be later integrated together to make a whole program.

MIT App Inventor:

The Challenges faced are:

• Writing Arduino code to receive input from a mobile phone through the HC-05 Bluetooth module and controlling the actuators based on that input proved to be tricky. 

• Learning a new programming language and developing customized apps suitable for our activity was a challenging task

Applications of Bluetooth Connectivity with LED, Stepper Motor, and Servo Motor:

Bluetooth connectivity can enhance our project's user interactivity by allowing users to directly input commands into the system via their mobile phones, thereby controlling the system's functions. 

Troubleshooting:

We encountered several instances where we had to troubleshoot our Arduino code while working with the MIT App Inventor and Bluetooth module.

Carriage Activity:

Firstly when we wrote the Arduino code, we didn't have clarity about the direction of the rotation of DC motors, but later as the DC motors were not moving as desired.

We had to edit/debug our Arduino code in order to rotate the DC motors in the desired directions so they can easily move forward/backwards and also turn to either direction.

We worked in a team of 5 for this activity and I found out that effective communication between the team members is crucial while doing a project.
