RC RGB and Buzzer!
RC RGB and Buzzer!
This week's assignment idea is a system that contains an RGB LED and a Buzzer both controlled by phone via Bluetooth.
Which is simply a personal interest 😁

Circuit wiring:
Bluetooth module (represented by ultrasonic sensor) connected:
VCC -> 5v
GND -> GND
TX -> RX
RX -> TX
Buzzer on pin 2
Red on pin 3
Blue on pin 4
Green on pin 5
Defining pins and Serial reading variable
Setting pins as outputs and starting the Serial communication
Reading only if there is a serial input to avoid constant reading
Assigning each number to a command (on/off) for both buzzer and each LED pin
Working principle:
The phone GUI is used to send serial messages to the Arduino
Each colour of the LED RGP is linked to a button, when pressed it lights that colour on and one button turns them all off
The buzzer is linked with two buttons; one turns it on and the other turns it off

Overcoming Challenges
When you got stuck, what/who did you turn to? At what point did you have to pause to research or learn more before moving on? What are some mistakes, pitfalls, or challenges that others can avoid if they were doing this assignment?

I tried to upload the arduino code and it kept on giving me errors, turns out that i cannot use the USB when the bluetooth module is connected beacuse it is using the Serial monitor, so the solution is to remove the bluetooth module when uploading a code.
Disconnecting Bluetooth module
