Simulating the circuit:
Simulating the circuit:
Firstly, I simulated the circuit on TinkerCAD
The Bluetooth module didn't exist in TinkerCAD So, I had to edit the circuit using the software "Paint"
the Bluetooth module has 4 pins Vcc, Gnd, Tx, and Rx.
I connected them with same pins in Arduino except the Rx and Tx hey will be inverted when connected to the Arduino
Wiring the circuit:
Wiring the circuit:
I started connecting the components of the circuit to the Arduino so that it was ready to be programmed

Variables and Void Setup:
Variables and Void Setup:
At this stage, I started creating the variables and defining the components connected to the Arduino pins in terms of whether they are input or output
Void Loop:
Void Loop:
In this part of the code, I used the While Loop and IF, else Condition Loop to control the fan motor with a smartphone. When we press button 1, the motor works and the buzzer beeps for half a second and when another button is pressed the motor stops working

When I was working on connecting the circuit, I had a problem with the voltage divider, but my classmate Hussain Al-Khodari helped me understand how to connect it.
