This project demonstrates a low-cost Bluetooth-controlled vehicle built using an A4-sized single cut paper chassis template. The goal is to provide a simple and accessible hands-on electronics project that introduces core Arduino and motor control concepts, especially for beginners or students.
-
Custom Chassis from A4 Hard Paper:
Designed using a single cutout on A4 hard paper to minimize cost and complexity.
Ideal for classroom demonstrations, DIY kits, and beginners. -
Bluetooth-Based Control:
The vehicle can be wirelessly controlled via any Android device using a Bluetooth controller app. -
Arduino-Powered:
Simple Arduino code to control motors based on Bluetooth commands. -
Open-Source Design:
Includes schematics, source code, CAD renders, and printable templates.
