🔌 Circuit Connections

HC-05 Bluetooth Module

• VCC → 5V on Arduino
• GND → GND on Arduino
• TX → RX (Pin 0 on Arduino)
• RX → TX (Pin 1 on Arduino) Use voltage divider to step down 5V TX signal to 3.3V

L298N Motor Driver

• IN1 → Arduino Pin 8
• IN2 → Arduino Pin 7
• IN3 → Arduino Pin 6
• IN4 → Arduino Pin 5
• ENA → Arduino Pin 9
• ENB → Arduino Pin 10
• VCC → Battery Positive (+)
• GND → Battery Negative (-) and Arduino GND

Motors

• Left motor connected to L298N Output A
• Right motor connected to L298N Output B

📄 How It Works

1. The Arduino listens for Bluetooth commands sent from an Android phone app.
2. Commands include 'F' (forward), 'B' (backward), 'L' (left), 'R' (right), and 'S' (stop).
3. Depending on the command, the Arduino controls the motor driver to move the car accordingly.
