Making a mobile control car using node MCU

We made a mobile control car using the smallest and really cheapest Arduino uno circuit. which is around $5 or ₹400 rupees.

 

Ø  Let’s talk about this circuit little bit

1.      Node MCU is a micro-controller Made by Arduino cc.

2.      WiFi module is already fixed In Node MCU circuit.

3.      We can program this micro-contoller in there open-sourde softwere Arduino IDE.

4.      Program can be done by using C and C++  programming language.

Some other stuff we need for this project

 

Ø    1 Motor Driver

As name suggests Motor driver driver’s the motors. It’s taking 5v to 12v and output 5v for Node MCU.

Ø    1 Card Bord

Ø    2 Batteries of 3.7v (Node MCU supports 5v-10v)

Ø    2 Motors

Ø    4 Wheels

Ø    1 Android Smartphone

We Have to install an app to give command to Node MCU and control the car.

Ø    1 PC

We have to install Arduino IDE to  program the Node MCU. It’s an opensource Softwere and suttorts c and c++ programming langauge.

 

Step 1

 

Install Drivers

We need to install Drivers in order to connect Node MCU to the PC. You can Download Drivers by clicking Here.

 

Step 2

 

Install Arduino IDE

Download Arduino IDE installer from Arduino’s Website by clicking here.

 

Step 3

 

Set-up Board Menager

 

So, You Installed the Arduino IDE in your PC! Well Done!

Now, you have to Set-up Board Menager in the Arduino IDE Softwere.

 

Step 4

Install ESP8266 app in your smartphone.

 

Things we bought:-

1. Node MCU
2. Motor Driver
3. Motor
4. jamphar wire
5. RGB bulb
6. While
7. Battery
