I Communicate wirelessly via a Bluetooth module to phone with a Smart Circuit via a Graphical User Interface (GUI) on your phone or PC.
Build a simple smart circuit that contains TWO action components (Two Servo Motors) I control wirelessly connected to an Arduino UNO board
programmed using Arduino C to perform serial communication

int pos1 = 0;
void setup() {
Serial.begin (9600);
baseservo.attach(9);
servo1.attach (10);
baseservo.write (pos);
servo1.write (pos1);
}
void loop() {
while (Serial.available() == 0);
incomingData = Serial.read ();
Serial.println (incomingData);
if (incomingData == '1' && pos <= 180 ) {
pos += 5;
baseservo.write (pos);
}
if (incomingData == '2' && pos >= 0 ) {
pos -= 5;
baseservo.write (pos);
}
if (incomingData == '3' && pos1 <= 180){
pos1 += 5;
servo1.write (pos1);
}
if (incomingData == '4' && pos1 >= 0) {
pos1 -= 5;
servo1.write (pos1);
}
incomingData == '0';
}
our code divided to 3 sections
- Header:
includes all the global variables and importing needed libraries
setup function
initializing the different pins and output/input components
Define Serial. Begin (9600) "The speed of data transfer between the two devices"
-loop function: do the main job as below
When I press 1 or 2 on Arduino software the first servo moves left & right "It moves five spin angles"
When I press 3 or 4 on Arduino software the first servo moves left & right "It moves five spin angles"

Overcoming Ghallenge
Wifi Module on Tinker CAD
There are no longer Wifi modules or Bluetooth on Tinker CAD.
I did not know how to overcome this till now.
Controlling two moods "Bug"
Another Challenge
I had a bug in my code that I added the incoming data and all syntax needed to switch between manual mood to an automatic one
and thought then that I can control servos with tolerance "LDR readings" with GUI
I asked for help from the Instructor, I learned that we cannot control two different ways at the same time "Manual & Automatic"
Debugging

WOW!
WOW!
