Aim
The aim of the project is to Convert a boat into a Bluetooth-controlled watercraft
Problem statement
Develop a Bluetooth-controlled boat system that enables users to navigate and control the boat remotely using a smartphone or other Bluetooth-enabled devices. The system should include features such as precise steering control, variable speed settings, and the ability to monitor battery levels. Consider challenges like signal range, interference, and robust communication protocols to ensure reliable and responsive control. Additionally, explore the integration of safety features like automatic return-to-home functionality and emergency stop options for a comprehensive Bluetooth-controlled boat solution.
Material used
Input: Bluetooth
Brain: TinkerSpace Brain Board

Battery: 5V Lithium-ion rechargeable battery
Component description
Bluetooth
Bluetooth is used to recive command from smartphone.
Motor Driver + 2 Gear Motor
Motor driver is used to control the motors to rotate either CLOCKWISE or ANTI-CLOCKWISE.
Gear Motors are used to move the boat
TinkerSpace Brain Board
TinkerSpace board acts as brain of this project, its function is to monitor Bluetooth and control the Motor Driver, Gear Motor
Battery
5V Lithium-Ion battery is used to power-up this project
Working description
Case 1: When F command received from smartphone, The brain board sends the signal to motor driver to move forward.
Case 2: When B command received from smartphone, The brain board sends the signal to motor driver to move backward.
Case 3: When L command received from smartphone, The brain board sends the signal to motor driver to move left.
Case 4: When R command received from smartphone, The brain board sends the signal to motor driver to move right.
Case 5: When S command received from smartphone, The brain board sends the signal to motor driver to move stop.
Circuit Design (DesignSpace)
Step 1: Connect Motor Driver(with 2 gear motor) to output 3.
Step 2: Connect supply and test project.
