Code Examples
### Example 1: Basic WiFi Controlled Robot using Arduino IDE
In this example, we will demonstrate how to use the DIY WiFi Controlled Robot Kit to create a basic WiFi-controlled robot using the Arduino IDE.
Hardware Requirements
DIY WiFi Controlled Robot Kit
18650 Battery
Jumper Wires
Breadboard
Software Requirements
Arduino IDE (version 1.8.10 or higher)
Code
```c
#include <WiFi.h>
#include <WiFiClient.h>
// WiFi credentials
const char ssid = "your_wifi_ssid";
const char password = "your_wifi_password";
// Robot motor pins
const int leftMotorForward = 2;
const int leftMotorBackward = 3;
const int rightMotorForward = 4;
const int rightMotorBackward = 5;
WiFiServer server(80);
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
while ( WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED ) {
delay ( 500 );
Serial.print(".");
}
Serial.println("Connected to WiFi");
Serial.println("Starting server...");
server.begin();
Serial.println("Server started");
}
void loop() {
WiFiClient client = server.available();
if (client) {
String request = client.readStringUntil('
');
if (request.indexOf("forward") != -1) {
digitalWrite(leftMotorForward, HIGH);
digitalWrite(rightMotorForward, HIGH);
} else if (request.indexOf("backward") != -1) {
digitalWrite(leftMotorBackward, HIGH);
digitalWrite(rightMotorBackward, HIGH);
} else if (request.indexOf("left") != -1) {
digitalWrite(leftMotorForward, HIGH);
digitalWrite(rightMotorBackward, HIGH);
} else if (request.indexOf("right") != -1) {
digitalWrite(leftMotorBackward, HIGH);
digitalWrite(rightMotorForward, HIGH);
} else {
digitalWrite(leftMotorForward, LOW);
digitalWrite(leftMotorBackward, LOW);
digitalWrite(rightMotorForward, LOW);
digitalWrite(rightMotorBackward, LOW);
}
client.stop();
}
}
```
Explanation
This code creates a WiFi server using the ESP8266 WiFi module, allowing the robot to be controlled remotely using a web browser. The code defines the motor pins and uses the `digitalWrite()` function to control the motors based on the received HTTP request.
### Example 2: IoT Remote Control using Blynk App
In this example, we will demonstrate how to use the DIY WiFi Controlled Robot Kit with the Blynk IoT platform to create a remote-controlled robot using a smartphone app.
Hardware Requirements
DIY WiFi Controlled Robot Kit
18650 Battery
Jumper Wires
Breadboard
Smartphone with Blynk app installed
Software Requirements
Blynk app (version 2.27.1 or higher)
Blynk library for Arduino (version 0.6.1 or higher)
Code
```c
#include <WiFi.h>
#include <BlynkSimpleEsp8266.h>
// Blynk credentials
char auth[] = "your_blynk_auth_token";
// WiFi credentials
char ssid[] = "your_wifi_ssid";
char pass[] = "your_wifi_password";
// Robot motor pins
const int leftMotorForward = 2;
const int leftMotorBackward = 3;
const int rightMotorForward = 4;
const int rightMotorBackward = 5;
BlynkTimer timer;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
Blynk.begin(auth, ssid, pass);
timer.setInterval(50, motorControl);
}
void loop() {
Blynk.run();
timer.run();
}
void motorControl() {
int x = Blynk.virtualRead(V0);
int y = Blynk.virtualRead(V1);
if (x > 0 && y > 0) {
digitalWrite(leftMotorForward, HIGH);
digitalWrite(rightMotorForward, HIGH);
} else if (x < 0 && y < 0) {
digitalWrite(leftMotorBackward, HIGH);
digitalWrite(rightMotorBackward, HIGH);
} else if (x > 0 && y < 0) {
digitalWrite(leftMotorForward, HIGH);
digitalWrite(rightMotorBackward, HIGH);
} else if (x < 0 && y > 0) {
digitalWrite(leftMotorBackward, HIGH);
digitalWrite(rightMotorForward, HIGH);
} else {
digitalWrite(leftMotorForward, LOW);
digitalWrite(leftMotorBackward, LOW);
digitalWrite(rightMotorForward, LOW);
digitalWrite(rightMotorBackward, LOW);
}
}
```
Explanation
This code uses the Blynk library to connect the robot to the Blynk IoT platform, allowing users to control the robot remotely using the Blynk app. The code defines the motor pins and uses the `digitalWrite()` function to control the motors based on the virtual pin values received from the Blynk app.
Note: In both examples, you need to replace the WiFi credentials, Blynk credentials, and motor pin assignments with your own values. Additionally, ensure that you have the necessary libraries installed in the Arduino IDE.
