Mobile Accelerometer Remote Car Control Demo Over Bluetooth

Created as part of an electrical engineering university project to demonstrate the use of accelerometers in controlling remote devices.

A RC car was modified to accept Bluetooth communication from the phone. The phone used is a Nokia N97 Mini and the application was programmed in Python.

Control takes place by tilting the phone in the direction you want to move.

I am very grateful for the response. sorry to bother you but

I have a question to start using it. I downloaded the 1.9.7 version of

python for my nokia E63. I installed without any problem, but I do not know

how to start creating my first python program where I can find the programming environment or should I program from the phone in python

and how do I do this?. sorry these great discomfort.

@JulioCZV Have a look here for some resources to get you started: croozeus.com

Hi, great project, I wonder, what is the brand of your bluetooth module?. I would try to create a cart like yours, do not know if you can provide more data about your project.

@JulioCZV The project made use of a Ezurio BISM2 Serial Module and was programmed using PyS60 for Nokia S60 smartphones. The Python program receives tilt (x, y, z) values from the mobile phone's accelerometer and sends these to the Bluetooth module on the car. The module was connected to a PIC18F4221 microcontroller through it's USART pins. This then sets the appropriate PWM values to the drive and steer motors, controlled by an H-Bridge. Hope this helps :)
