I used Arduino IDE to write the code on which the servo motor works when the hand is on button 1 and the hand is off on button 2 via Bluetooth module and smartphone.
The action component is a servo motor and the application is an Arduino BlueControl.
Furthermore, when put your hand on button 3 the fan works and will off put your hand on button 4 via Bluetooth module and smartphone.
The action component is a fan and the application is an Arduino BlueControl.
Arduino BlueControl
Explain the code:
First: Define variables, libraries, and the initial position of servo motors.
Second: Define void loop: starts of serial communication, inputs, and outputs (servo motor and fan are outputs).
Third: Define void setup: when you put your hand on the smartphone app at button one the servo motor rotates and if you press button two the servo motor returns to its initial position.
Furthermore, when you press on button three the fan works, and when press it on button four the fan off.
Arduino code:
char incomingData = '0';
#include <Servo.h>
int motor = 8;
Servo myservo;
// object to control a servo
int pos = 0; // variable to store the servo position
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
myservo.attach(9);
pinMode(motor, OUTPUT);
// attaches the servo on pin 9 to the Servo object
}
void loop() {
while (Serial.available() == 0)
;
incomingData = Serial.read();
if (incomingData == '1' ) {
//for (pos = 0; pos <= 180;
pos += 180; // goes from 0 degrees to 180 degrees
// in steps of 1 degree
myservo.write(pos); // tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos'
}
else if (incomingData == '2' ) {
//for (pos = 180; pos >= 0;
pos = 0; // goes from 180 degrees to 0 degrees
myservo.write(pos); // tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos'
}
else if (incomingData == '3' ) {
digitalWrite(motor, HIGH); }
else if (incomingData == '4' ) {
digitalWrite(motor, LOW); }
}

During this week, I worked with the team which made a great effort and we helped each other. We Build a Robot Arm System using Arduino.
The system contents of three servo motors and enclosure of it using smart phone and Bluetooth module.

Overcoming Challenges
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?

When I got stuck, I asked Ahmed or Farida to help me.
Challenge
When I did my assignment, I faced a challenge during connecting the Bluetooth module to Arduino. I forgot to disconnect the receive and transmit inputs of Arduino while uploading the code. So after checking the problem, I disconnect Rx and Tx during the coding of the Arduino.
We can avoid this problem when we do the assignment.

What is the coolest thing that you've learned this week? What is something that you will never forget from this week?
The coolest thing I have learned this week is combining multi-outputs via Bluetooth and smartphone to the Arduino.
Uploading Bluetooth modules and trouble-shooting in general are something that I will never forget from this week.
