Projects Guide

Project 1: Built-in LED

Keyestudio UNO R3

When it comes to using the UNO R3 as core of our robot, the UNO is the best board to get started with electronics and coding.
If this is your first experience tinkering with the platform, the UNO is the most robust board you can start playing with.
Well, let's at first have a look at this UNO R3 board.

Here is an explanation chart of what every element and interface of the board does:

	ICSP (In-Circuit Serial Programming) Header In most case, ICSP is the AVR，an Arduino micro-program header consisting of MOSI, MISO, SCK, RESET, VCC, and GND. It is often called the SPI (serial peripheral interface) and can be considered an "extension" of the output. In fact, slave the output devices under the SPI bus host. When connecting to PC, program the firmware to ATMEGA328P-PU.
	Power LED Indicator Powering the Arduino, LED on means that your circuit board is correctly powered on. If LED is off, connection is wrong.
	Digital I/O Arduino UNO has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs). These pins can be configured as digital input pin to read the logic value (0 or 1). Or used as digital output pin to drive different modules like LED, relay, etc. The pin labeled “〜” can be used to generate PWM.
	GND ( Ground pin headers) Used for circuit ground
	AREF Reference voltage (0-5V) for analog inputs. Used with analogReference().
	SDA IIC communication pin
	SCL IIC communication pin
	ICSP (In-Circuit Serial Programming) Header In most case, ICSP is the AVR，an Arduino micro-program header consisting of MOSI, MISO, SCK, RESET, VCC, and GND. Connected to ATMEGA 16U2-MU. When connecting to PC, program the firmware to ATMEGA 16U2-MU.
	RESET Button You can reset your Arduino board, for example, start the program from the initial status. You can use the RESET button.
	D13 LED There is a built-in LED driven by digital pin 13. When the pin is HIGH value, the LED is on, when the pin is LOW, it's off.
	USB Connection Arduino board can be powered via USB connector. All you needed to do is connecting the USB port to PC using a USB cable.
	ATMEGA 16U2-MU USB to serial chip, can convert the USB signal into serial port signal.
	TX LED Onboard you can find the label: TX (transmit) When Arduino board communicates via serial port, send the message, TX led flashes.
	RX LED Onboard you can find the label: RX(receive ) When Arduino board communicates via serial port, receive the message, RX led flashes.
	Crystal Oscillator Helping Arduino deal with time problems. How does Arduino calculate time? by using a crystal oscillator. The number printed on the top of the Arduino crystal is 16.000H9H. It tells us that the frequency is 16,000,000 Hertz or 16MHz.
	Voltage Regulator To control the voltage provided to the Arduino board, as well as to stabilize the DC voltage used by the processor and other components. Convert an external input DC7-12V voltage into DC 5V, then switch DC 5V to the processor and other components.
	DC Power Jack Arduino board can be supplied with an external power DC7-12V from the DC power jack.
	IOREF Used to configure the operating voltage of microcontrollers. Use it less.
	RESET Header Connect an external button to reset the board. The function is the same as reset button (labeled 9)
	Power Pin 3V3 A 3.3 volt supply generated by the on-board regulator. Maximum current draw is 50 mA.
	Power Pin 5V Provides 5V output voltage
	Vin You can supply an external power input DC7-12V through this pin to Arduino board.
	Analog Pins Arduino UNO board has 6 analog inputs, labeled A0 through A5. These pins can read the signal from analog sensors (such as humidity sensor or temperature sensor), and convert it into the digital value that can read by microcontrollers) Can also used as digital pins, A0=D14, A1=D15, A2=D16, A3=D17, A4=D18, A5=D19.
	Microcontroller Each Arduino board has its own microcontroller. You can regard it as the brain of your board. The main IC (integrated circuit) on the Arduino is slightly different from the panel pair. Microcontrollers are usually from ATMEL. Before you load a new program on the Arduino IDE, you must know what IC is on your board. This information can be checked at the top of IC.

Let’s make a simple test for the UNO built-in LED (D13).
We will work on blinking an LED. That’s right - it’s as simple as turning a light on and off!
Now enough talking - let’s get started with the LED project.

Blinking an LED
It’s pretty simple to turn a built-in led on and off. We only require UNO R3 control board and a USB cable to enter the wonderful programming world.
Connect your UNO R3 board to the computer’s USB port using a USB cable for communication.

Test Code:
Open Mixly blocks platform to get started with coding.
First, click IN/OUT, drag the “DigitalWrite PIN# (0)Stat(HIGH)” block.

This block is used to set the level HIGH or LOW of Digital pin.

Select HIGH is to set the HIGH level.
Select LOW is to set the LOW level.
The HIGH level is the state of high voltage, generally recorded as 1.
High voltage, high current, the LED lights.
The LOW level is the state of low voltage, generally recorded as 0.
Low voltage, low current, the LED Not lights.

To observe the LED blink obviously, we need to add a Delay block.
Check the test code below and upload it to your UNO R3 board.

What you should see:
Drag the test code to Mixly window; remember to select the proper board and COM port.
Then compile and upload the code to your control board. Upload success message will appear on the bottom bar.
The UNO built-in LED (label “L”) will turn on for 1 second, and then turn off for 1 second, alternately and circularly.

Project 2: LED Blink

keyestudio LED module

Overview:
LED blink is one of the most basic experiments in learning programming.
This project we use keyestudio white LED module. You will learn first how to blink an LED.

There are three lead-out pins on the module, respectively negative pin(marked -), positive pin(marked +) and signal pin(marked S).
Separately connect the white LED module to the pin G, 5V and D3 of keyestudio motor drive shield V2 using three F-F jumper wires. Then stack the motor drive shield V2 onto the UNO control board.

Done wiring, upload the test code to the board, so as to turn on an LED light.

Test Code:
Now write the program to make the white LED flash.

Go to click library “Desktop_Car_V3”, drag out the block, this block is used to set the HIGH/LOW for digital port;
Click the drop-drown triangle icon to select HIGH for digital pin, with voltage; select LOW for digital pin, with no voltage.
So what should we set the white LED pin output HIGH or LOW to turn on the LED? Through testing, set to HIGH, white LED turns on; set to LOW, white LED turns off.
And go to “Control”, drag out the block to add a delay time.
Duplicate this code stringonce and change to LOW.
We turn on the white LED for one second then off for one second.

Note: uploading the test code, DO NOT connect the Bluetooth module to motor drive shield. Otherwise, code upload fails.

Result:
Done uploading the code, turn the slide switch ON.
You will see the LED module turn on for one second, then off for one second.

Little Knowledge:

1.In the code, we’ve set the LED signal pin to D3 in the library; we can set the led signal pin without using library.
To make the same effect, you can use the block:
or

2.What happens when you change the number in one or both of the delay(1000)

This delay period is in milliseconds, so if you want the LED to blink as low or fast, change the value, try 500 or 2000.

Extension Practice:

Try making the LED blink without using library. Set the LED signal to D11, and turn on for 0.5 second; off for 0.2 second, alternately and circularly.

Project 3: Obstacles Detection

Overview:
The robot car kit is packed with 2 infrared obstacle detector sensors.
The infrared obstacle detector sensor is actually a distance-adjustable obstacle avoidance sensor designed for a wheeled robot.
It has a pair of infrared transmitting and receiving tubes. The transmitter emits an infrared rays of a certain frequency. When the detection direction encounters an obstacle (reflecting surface), the infrared rays are reflected back, and receiving tube will receive it. At this time, the indicator lights up. After processed by the circuit, the signal output terminal will output Digital signal.
You can rotate the potentiometer knob on the sensor to adjust the detection distance.
The effective distance is 2-40cm and the working voltage is 3.3V-5V.

TECH SPECS:

Operating Voltage: DC 3.3-5V
Detection Distance: 2-40cm
Interface: 3PIN
Output Signal: Digital signal

In this project, we read the signal level of obstacle detector sensor to judge whether detect obstacles or not.
When detects an obstacle, sensor’s signal pin outputs LOW (display 0); otherwise, output HIGH (display 1).
Show the result on the serial monitor, and control the external LED module turn ON/OFF.

Wiring Diagram:
Connect two infrared obstacle detector modules and an LED module to keyestudio motor drive shield V2. Then stack the motor drive shield onto UNO control board.

Test Code:

We have connected well the both obstacle detector sensors, white LED module and power supply. Now write the program to test the left and the right obstacle detector sensor.
Go to “Control”, drag out the “setup” block; and drag the “Serial baud rate(9600)” block from “Serial Port” into the “setup” block.

To read the measured signal info by both obstacle detector sensors, we click the “Serial Port” , drag out the block; drag out the block
from “Text” into the block, and then duplicate the complete block three times. Change the first to “left_sensor”; drag out the block
from library “Desktop_Car_V3”to replace the second; delete the third hello box, forming a blank box; Change the fourth
to “right_sensor”.
And again go to “Serial Port” , drag out the block; duplicate the blockonce and drag it into, click the drop-down triangle icon to select the “right_infrared_avoid” And go to “Control”, drag the delay block; set the delay time in 500ms.

Upload the above code to see the effect. Powered on, the Pled LED on the obstacle detector sensor turns on. Through testing, if detected obstacle, obstacle detector sensor outputs LOW 0 and the built-in Sled LED turns on red; no obstacle, the sensor outputs HIGH 1 and the built-in Sled LED is off.
We’ve measured what signal the left and the right obstacle detector sensor send. Next the white LED module is turned on when any obstacle detector sensor detects an obstacle.
Next write the program that can turn on or off white LED module using the left and the right obstacle detector sensor.

Here we can use the condition statementor.But the block is more efficient than .
Go to “Control” , drag out the block ,then click the blue gear icon, appear the edit box, drag theblockinto block. So you can get the block
. Next, go to the “Logic”, drag out the block ,and drag out the block.from the “Desktop_Car_V3”into the first input box at the left side of “=”; drag thefrom the “Math”into the second input box at the right side of “=” ; like this:.
We duplicate the block once and click the drop-down triangle icon to select the “right_infrared_avoid”.

And again go to the “Logic”, drag out the block behind if statement; click the drop-down triangle icon to select “or”. then drag the block and into the input box of block.

Click the “Desktop_Car_V3”, drag out the blockinto do statement, keep HIGH; duplicate the block once and set to LOW and drag it into else statement.

Now we have written the code and upload it to see the final result!

Special note:
You can turn the tirmpot on the obstacle detector sensor to adjust the inductive sensitivity. Rotate the potentiometer near the infrared emitter to the end clockwise, then adjust the potentiometer near the infrared receiver to observe the Sled light, turn the Sled light off, and keep the critical point to be lit. The sensitivity is the best.

Result:
Done wiring, connect the UNO control board to computer’s USB port with USB cable to upload the code.
Code upload success, open the serial monitor, and set the baud rate to 9600. We can see the HIGH or LOW level of signal pin of left and right sensors. As shown below.
When any sensor detects obstacle (output 0), external LED module will turn on; otherwise, LED turns off.

Little Knowledge:

1.In the code,we use the library to read the HIGH/LOW of the left infrared avoiding sensor (A0); using the block also makes sense. The signal pin of the right infrared avoiding sensor is A2.

2. means the baud rate is set to 9600;
Print the specified number, text or other value on serial monitor.
Print the specified number, text or other value on newline of monitor.

3.means that if condition 1 is satisfied, it's going to be A, otherwise it's going to be B.
When using, you can find the if...do...statement block in the Mixly Control Block. Then click the gear icon on the block to drag out the else or else if block you need to use.

4.This is a logical statement. It’s available as long as can satisfy any one of the two conditions.

Extension Practice:

1.Change the test code without using the library, making the same function.
2.Set the two control pins of infrared avoiding sensor to turn on or off the LED.

Project 4: Playing Melody

Overview:

The keyestudio power amplifier module integrates an adjustable potentiometer, a passive buzzer speaker, an audio amplifier 8002B chip and 3pin header interface.
When testing, we can input square waves of different frequency at the signal pin to make passive buzzer speaker produce a sound.
We can turn the potentiometer to adjust the sound amplification, that is, to adjust the sound volume.
In this project, we will code the buzzer in power amplifier module to produce a tone. And if string a bunch of tones together, you’ve got music!

For connection, we connect the power amplifier module to the pin G, 5V, D11 of motor drive shield V2; then stack the motor drive shield onto UNO control board.
Wiring Diagram:

Coding:

Write the program that can make the power amplifier module play a tone.

Click the“Desktop_Car_V3”, drag out the block，click the drop-down triangle icon behind frequency; you’ll see a series of pitch name in English letters and Numbers. You can choose different pitch name to set different frequency.

1（Do）、2(Re)、3(Mi)、4(Fa)、5(Sol)、6(La)、7(Si) are the roll-call in music. They correspond to NOTE C、NOTE D、NOTE E、NOTE F、NOTE G、NOTE A、NOTE B in the frequency drop-down list.
From 1（Do）to 7（Si）, that is from C to B. As the below table shown. The pitch/tone is getting higher and higher.

1(Do)	2(Re)	3(Mi)	4(Fa)	5(Sol)	6(La)	7(Si)
NOTE_C	NOTE_D	NOTE_E	NOTE_F	NOTE_G	NOTE_A	NOTE_B

Music requires tones as well as beats. The duration of each note, is the beat. We can use Delay block to set the beats. The larger the value, the longer the delay time is.

Click the drop-down triangle icon on the block to select the frequency NOTE_A4.

And go to “Control”, drag the delay block; set the delay time 200ms.

Click the imported library“Desktop_Car_V3”, drag out the block, and delay 200ms.
Copy the above string and change the last delay from 200 milliseconds to 1000 milliseconds.

Upload the complete code to see what will happen.

Code 1: play a tone

Code 2: do re mi fa so la si do

We have introduced the knowledge of power amplifier module and tone play. Now write the program for the buzzer playing tune “do re mi fa so la si do”.
Click the “Desktop_Car_V3”, drag out the block，click the drop-down triangle icon to select the frequency NOTE_C4.
And go to “Control”, drag the delay block; set the delay time 300ms.
Duplicate the above code string seven times and click the drop-down triangle icon to separately select the frequency NOTE_D4、NOTE_E4、NOTE_F4、NOTE_G4、NOTE_A4、NOTE_B4、NOTE_C5. Keep the delay time 300ms.

Click the imported library“Desktop_Car_V3”, drag out the block, and duplicate a delay block once and set to 2000ms.

Code 3: Ode to Joy

How to use the power amplifier module to play a song of Ode to Joy? Next we write the program to make the buzzer play the song of Ode to Joy. Click the“Desktop_Car_V3”, drag out the block，click the drop-down triangle icon to select the song Ode_to_Joy. Then drag out the block to switch off the sound. And go to “Control”, drag the delay block; set the delay time 3000ms.

Result:
Done wiring, connect the UNO control board to computer’s USB port with USB cable to upload the code. Then turn the slide switch ON.
Upload code 1, buzzer will produce a tone of 440Hz for 0.2 second then off for 0.2 second, circularly.
Upload code 2, buzzer will play a tune “do re mi fa so la si do” circularly.
Upload code 3, buzzer will play a song Ode To Joy circularly.

Remember that you can turn the potentiometer to adjust the sound volume if can’t hear the tone.

Little Knowledge:

1.In the code 1, we use the library, the signal pin of passive buzzer module is connected to D11, with a frequency of 440Hz tone. Note that you can click the Code on the Mixly window to check out the Arduino code.

2.In the code 1 means the buzzer will make no tone.
3.In the code 2, we set the buzzer can play different tones of different frequencies.
4.In the code 3, means the buzzer will play a specific song. You can choose the tune Ode to Joy, or Birthday.

Extension Practice:

1.For code 3, you can click to check out the corresponding language C; find out the tone of corresponding frequency and duration time, then refer to the code 2, try write into your own code.

Tips:

set the frequency; set a period of time;

The corresponding frequency of the first M3 is 658Hz; and the duration time is 300*1=300ms. The rest is in the same manner.

Project 5: Obstacles Alarm

Overview:
The ultrasonic module will emit the ultrasonic waves after trigger signal. When the ultrasonic waves encounter the object and are reflected back, the module outputs an echo signal, so it can determine the distance of object from the time difference between trigger signal and echo signal.
The ultrasonic module is commonly used in robot car DIY process. It can detect whether an obstacle ahead and we can measure the distance between ultrasonic sensor and obstacles by calculation.
When DIY smart car, we can use the measured distance data to program the robot car avoiding or following obstacles.

In this project, we are going to measure the distance between ultrasonic module and obstacles ahead, triggering the power amplifier module to make a sound.
When the measured distance between ultrasonic and obstacles ahead is less than 10cm, the speaker will produce a tone of 440Hz; otherwise, not sound.

TECH SPECS:

Operating Voltage: DC 5V
Operating Current: 15mA
Operating Frequency: 40khz
Maximum Range: 2-3m
Minimum Range: 2m
Sensing Angle: 15 degrees
Trigger Input Signal: 10µS TTL pulse

Wiring Diagram:
Note: connect the ultrasonic sensor to motor drive shield’s P2 connector, VCC pin to V, Trig pin to digital 13 (S), Echo pin to digital 12 (S), G pin to GND(G);
Connect the pin (G、V、S) of power amplifier module to the pin G, 5V, D11(S) of motor drive shield with 3P female-to-female jumper wire; Then stack the motor drive shield onto UNO control board. Connect the power supply to BAT connector.

Test Code:

The ultrasonic sensor is connected to P2 connector of motor drive shield , VCC pin to V, Trig pin to digital 13 (S), Echo pin to digital 12 (S), G pin to GND(G); Trig pin is to trigger signal and Echo pin is to receive echo signal.
Next need to write the program to get the specific distance measured by ultrasonic sensor.
Go to “Control”, drag out the “setup” block;
Drag out the block from “SerialPort” into the “setup” block.
Go to the “SerialPort” again, drag out the block and
Go to “Text”, drag out the block into the block , and change the word “hello” to “distance=”.
Then go to“Desktop_Car_V3”, drag and drop the ultrasonic block into “Serial printIn” block. To make the value print slowly, we add a delay block. And again go to “Control”, drag the delay block; set the delay time in 500ms.
Upload the code success, open the serial monitor to check the distance between ultrasonic sensor and an obstacle.

In the following, try to realize another two distance situations: When the measured distance between the ultrasonic sensor and front obstacles is smaller than 10cm, power amplifier module plays sound.
To judge whether the distance is smaller than 10cm or greater than 10cm, here we can use the condition statementor . But the block is more efficient than.
Go to “Control”, drag out the block, then click the blue gear icon, appear the edit box, drag the block intoblock. So you can get the block.
Next, go to “Logic”, drag the blockinto the if statement, and drag out the blockfrom the“Desktop_Car_V3”into the first input box at the left side of “=”; drag the from the “Math” into the second input box at the right side of “=” ; change the“=” to“＜” , change the value 0 to 10; like this:.
Click the“Desktop_Car_V3”, drag out the blockinto the do statement，click the drop-down triangle icon to select the frequency NOTE_A4.
Then drag out the blockinto the else statement to switch off the sound.

Okay. Now we have written the complete code for ultrasonic sensor and power amplifier module. Upload the code.

Result:
Done wiring, connect the UNO control board to computer’s USB port with USB cable to upload the code.
Code upload success, open the serial monitor, and set the baud rate to 9600. You can see the distance between ultrasonic and obstacle ahead, with a unit of cm.
When the measured distance between ultrasonic and obstacles ahead is less than 10cm, the speaker will produce a tone of 440Hz; otherwise, not sound.

Little Knowledge:

1.In the code, we use the to measure the distance between ultrasonic sensor and obstacle ahead, with a unit of cm.
2. means the baud rate is set to 9600;
: print the distance value on the newline of monitor.
But if you use the block , it will not print the value on the newline; just print on the monitor. The difference between them is whether need to make line wrap.
3.In the code also call the if...do... statement Refer to the detailed use in the project 3 please.

Extension Practice:

1.You can reset the distance measured by ultrasonic sensor. Change the different distance value to make the buzzer play a tone of different frequency.

Project 6: Motor Driving and Speed Control

Overview:

There are many ways to drive the motor. Our robot uses the most commonly used L298P solution.
L298P is an excellent high-power motor driver IC produced by STMicroelectronics. It can directly drive DC motors, two-phase and four-phase stepping motors. The driving current up to 2A, and output terminal of motor adopts eight high-speed Schottky diodes as protection.

We have designed the motor driver shield V2 based on the L298P circuit.
The stackable design can make it be plugged directly into the Arduino, reducing the technical difficulty of using and driving the motor.

Direct stack the motor driver shield onto UNO R3 board, after the BAT is powered on, turn the Slide button ON, to supply the power for both keyestudio motor driver shield V2 and UNO R3 board.
For simple wiring, the motor driver shield comes with anti-reverse interfaces. When connecting the motor, power supply and sensor modules, you just need to plug in directly.

The Bluetooth interface on the motor driver shield is fully compatible with keyestudio HM-10 Bluetooth module. When connecting, just plug HM-10 Bluetooth module into the corresponding interface.

At the same time, the motor drive shield has brought out extra digital and analog ports in 2.54mm pin headers, so that you can continue to add other sensors for experiments extension.
The motor drive shield can access to 4 DC motors, defaulted by jumper connection. The motor connector A and A1, connector B and B1 are separately in parallel.

The 8 jumpers can be applied to control the turning direction of 4 motors.
For instance, if change the 2 jumpers near the motor A connector from horizontal connection to vertical connection, the turning direction of motor A is opposite to the original rotation direction.

Specifications:

1)Logic part input voltage: DC5V
2)Driving part input voltage (limit): DC 6-18V
3)Driving part input voltage (recommended): DC 7-12V
4)Logic part working current: <36mA
5)Driving part working current: <2A
6)Maximum power dissipation: 25W (T=75℃)
7)Working temperature: -25℃～＋130℃

PINOUT Instructions:

Wiring Diagram:
Connect two motors to keyestudio motor drive shield V2; stack the motor drive shield onto UNO control board.

Driving Motor
According to the wiring diagram, default the jumper connection method.
Follow the table below to drive the 2 motors rotate by Digital, PWM pins, so as to control the robot car run.
The PWM value is in the range of 0-255. The greater the value set, the faster the motors rotate.

Test Code: (without library)

Navigate the desktop Bluetooth car to turn forward for 2 seconds, backward for 2 seconds, and then rotate to left for 2 seconds, rotate to right for 2 seconds, stop for 2 seconds.

We go to write the code for motor A, B to turn front. Go to “In/Out”, drag out the blockand; separately duplicate these two blocks, set to digital pin 4 and pin 2, change the analog pin 3 to digital pin 5 and 9. Pin 4 and pin 2 set to HIGH; pin 5 and pin 9 are PWM pin. The greater the PWM value, the faster the speed is. So here we assign both value to 100.
Next go to drag out the block from “Control”, and set to 2000ms.

So now we complete the code for robot moving front for 2 seconds.
Let’s move on to write the code for robot turning back, rotating to left, rotating to right and stop.
Duplicate the finished code string three times; Set the pin 4 and pin 2 to LOW, assign both pin 5 and pin 9 to 100, so that the motor A, B will turn backward, thus the robot will turn back.

Set the pin 4 to LOW and pin 2 to HIGH, assign both pin 5 and pin 9 to 100, so that the motor A turns back and motor B turns front, thus the robot will rotate to left.

Set the pin 4 to HIGH and pin 2 to LOW, assign both pin 5 and pin 9 to 100, so that the motor A turns front and motor B turns back, thus the robot will rotate to right.

Go to “In/Out” again, drag out the block and duplicate once, change the pin3 to pin 5 and pin 9, assign the value 0; then add a delay block 2000ms. Upload the complete code to see the desktop robot move.

Project 8: Line Tracking Sensor

Overview:
The tracking sensor is actually an infrared sensor. The component used here is the TCRT5000 infrared tube. Its working principle is to use the different reflectivity of infrared light to the color, then convert the strength of the reflected signal into a current signal.
During the process of detection, black is active at HIGH level, but white is active at LOW. The detection height is 0-3 cm.
For keyestudio 3-channel line tracking module, we have integrated 3 sets of TCRT5000 infrared tube on a single board. It is more convenient for wiring and control.
By rotating the adjustable potentiometer on the sensor, it can adjust the detection sensitivity of the sensor.

Special note: before testing, turn the potentiometer on the sensor to adjust the detection sensitivity.
When adjust the LED front the trimpot at the threshold between ON and OFF, the sensitivity is the best.

TECH SPECS:

Operating Voltage: 3.3-5V (DC)
Interface: 5PIN
Output Signal: Digital signal
Detection Height: 0-3 cm

Wiring Diagram:
Next let’s do a simple test for this tracking module. The connection diagram is shown as below.

Coding:
Now write the program to test the line tracking sensor.
Go to “Control”, drag out the “setup” block; and drag the “Serial baud rate(9600)”block from “SerialPort” into the “setup” block.

To respectively read the left, the center and the right tracking sensor on the line tracking module, we click the “SerialPort” , drag out the block; drag out the blockfrom “Text” into the block , and then duplicate the complete block six times. Change the first to “left_tracking=”; drag out the block from library “Desktop_Car_V3” to replace the second ; delete the third hello box, forming a blank box; change the fourth to
“center_tracking=”.

Duplicate the block once to replace the fifth and click the drop-down triangle icon to select the “center_tracking”; delete the sixth hello box, forming a blank box; change the seventh to “right_tracking=”.
And again go to “SerialPort”, drag out the block ; duplicate the block once and drag it into , click the drop-down triangle icon to select the “right_tracking” And go to “Control”, drag the delay block; set to delay 1000ms.

Complete and upload the above code to see the result. It can tell black and white.
Through testing, if line tracking sensor detects white, output LOW 0 and the built-in LED turns on red; detecting black, output HIGH 1 and the built-in LED is off.

We’ve measured what signal the line tracking sensor sends. Next the white LED is turned on when any tracking sensor detects white.
Next write the program that can turn on or off white LED module using line tracking sensor.

To judge whether the left, the center and the right tracking sensor detect black or white, here we can use the condition statement or .
But the block is more efficient than.

Go to “Control”, drag out the block, then click the blue gear icon, appear the edit box, drag the block into block. So you can get the block .

Next, go to the “Logic”, drag out the block, and drag out the block from the “Desktop_Car_V3” into the first input box at the left side of “=”;
drag the from the “Math” into the second input box at the right side of “=” ; like this:.
We duplicate the block twice, and respectively click the drop-down triangle icon to select “center_tracking” and “right_tracking”..

And again go to the “Logic”, drag out the block and click the drop-down triangle to select “or”; duplicate the block once and make as ; drag this block behind into the if statement.

Now respectively drag the block,and into the input box of block.

Click the “Desktop_Car_V3”, drag out the block into do statement, keep HIGH; duplicate the block once and set to LOW and drag it into else statement.

Now we have written the code of tracking sensor controlling white LED module. Upload the complete to see the final result!

Result:
Done wiring, connect the UNO control board to computer’s USB port with USB cable to upload the code.
Upload success, turn the Slide switch ON.
When the left TCRT5000 infrared tube detects a white line, LED module lights; detecting a black line, LED turns off.
In a similar way, we use other 2-way TCRT5000 infrared tubes to detect the black-white line.

Little Knowledge:

1.In the code, we use the library to read the HIGH/LOW of the left sensor (D6); using the block also makes sense.
The signal pin of the middle sensor is D7; the signal pin of the right sensor is D8.

2.means that if condition 1 is satisfied, it's going to be A, otherwise it's going to be B.
When using, you can find the if...do...statement block in the Mixly Control Block. Then click the gear icon on the block to drag out the else or else if block you need to use.

Extension Practice:

1.Change the test code without using the library, making the same result.
2.Set the 3 control pins of line tracking sensor to turn on or off 3 LEDS.

Project 9: Infrared Receiver

IR Remote Control:

remote control

There is no doubt that infrared remote control is commonly seen in our daily life. It's hard to imagine our world without it.
An infrared remote control can be used to control a wide range of home appliances such as television, audio, video recorders and satellite signal receivers.
Well, in the following let’s get a better understanding of the infrared remote control.

Infrared remote control is composed of infrared transmitting and infrared receiving systems. That is, consist of an infrared remote control, an infrared receiver module and a microcontroller that can decode. You can refer to the figure below.

The 38K infrared carrier signal transmitted by an infrared remote controller is encoded by an encoding chip inside the remote controller. It is composed of a pilot code, user code, data code, and data inversion code.
The time interval between pulses is used to distinguish whether it is a signal 0 or 1. (when the ratio of high level to low level is about 1:1, considered as signal 0.) And the encoding is just well composed of signal 0 and 1.

The user code of the same button on remote controller is unchanged. Using difference data distinguish the key pressed on the remote control.
When press down a button on the remote control, it will send out an infrared carrier signal. And when infrared receiver receives that signal, its program will decode the carrier signal, and through different data codes, thus can judge which key is pressed.
The microcontroller is decoded by an received signal 0 or 1 to determine which key is pressed by the remote control.

IR Receiver Module:

As for an infrared receiver module, it is mainly composed of an infrared receiving head. This device integrates with reception, amplification and demodulation. Its internal IC has been demodulated, outputting Digital signal. Suitable for IR remote control and infrared data transmission.
The infrared receiver module has only three pins (Signal, VCC, GND), very convenient to communicate with Arduino and other microcontrollers.

IR Receiver Module

Parameters of IR Receiver:

1)Operating Voltage: 3.3-5V（DC）
2)Interface: 3PIN
3)Output Signal: Digital signal
4)Receiving Angle: 90 degrees
5)Frequency: 38khz
6)Receiving Distance: 18m

Hookup Guide:
Let’s connect the infrared receiver to motor drive shield to make a simple test.

Test Code:
Now write the program. When aligning at the IR receiver, press the key on the IR remote control, available to check the input signal change of IR receiver on the serial monitor.
Go to “Control”, drag out theblock; and drag theblock from “SerialPort” into the “setup” block.
Next, IR receiver will receive the infrared signal when press different keys on the IR remote control.

We first click the imported library “Desktop_Car_V3”, drag out the block; drag the block from “SerialPort” into the infrared receiver block just made.
Then go to “Variables”, drag out the block into the block.

So the infrared receiver can receive the infrared signal.

Upload this code, open the serial monitor; aimed at the infrared receiver sensor, press the key on the IR remote control, IR receiver will receive the infrared signal, and indicator turns on red. And you can see the key encoding on the serial monitor.

Next move on to realize the IR receiver controlling white LED with IR remote control.
Press the front key on the IR remote control, white LED turns on; press the key , white LED turns off. So here we call the if statement from the “Control”. According to the measured result, we know the infrared encoding(string value) of front key is FF629D; the infrared encoding(string value) of key is FF02FD.
As the command key of IR remote control is hexadecimal code, the front must add 0x.

If ir_rec=0xFF629D, press the front key on the IR remote control, white LED turns on.

Go to the “Logic”, drag out the block into the if statement, and drag out the block from the “Variables” into the first input box at the left side of “=”; drag the from the “Math” into the second input box at the right side of “=” and type “0xFF629D” , like this:.

Click the imported library “Desktop_Car_V3”, drag out the block into do statement, keep HIGH.

Duplicate the above code string once, change “0xFF629D” to “0xFF02FD” and set to LOW.

Okay, the complete program has been written well. Upload the code to see the infrared remote control effect!

Test Result:
Code upload success, open the serial monitor, and set the baud rate to 9600.
Press your remote control, aimed at the infrared receiver, to send the signal, and you will see the encoding of each button on the remote control.
Note if press the control button too long, easily appear unreadable code. Shown as below figure.

Below we have listed out each button value of keyestudio remote control. So you can keep it for reference.

Little Knowledge:
1.In the code, we direct use the library; the signal pin of IR receiver module is A1; the IR receiver receives an infrared signal and outputs 16-bit encoding, printing out on serial monitor (baud rate 9600). 2.We can test out the 16-bit encoding of each button on the infrared remote control by source code. Or you can see the button encoding chart shown above.

Extension Practice:
1.Turning on or off several LED modules by infrared remote control.
2.Driving the 2 motors’ turning direction and speed by infrared remote control.

Project 10: Following Robot

Circuit Design:
In the above sections we already introduced the motor drive shield, sensor, module, motors and other elements.
According to the project 3/5/7 -- obstacle detection, obstacle alarm, and library driving motor,
we’re now ready to give the robot capability - Object Following!

In the project, we make the robot measure whether exist obstacles at both sides with obstacle detector sensors. Measure the distance between obstacle and robot, and then use the measured data to rotate the two motors, so as to control the robot car run.

Below is a specific logic table of following robot for reference:

Build Following Robot:
Based on the designed circuit, we are going to build a following robot car.
Check the circuit diagram and test code below.

Test Code:

Now write the program to achieve the function of following robot.

First we set up three variables, “distance”, “val_L”and “val_R”.

The variable “distance” means save the distance value measured by ultrasonic sensor; “val_L”and “val_R” respectively save the signal of obstacle detected by the left and the right obstacle detector sensor.

Click “Variables”, drag out the block; and drag the blockfrom “Math”into the block. Then duplicate the blocktwice; respectively change “item”into“distance”、“val_L”and“val_R”; set the value to 0.

A variable is like a box, and a new variable is like making a box; we can give the box a name, like we just called it “distance”. The things placed inside the box can be changed, like we can place oranges, apples, pears, etc.
The function of the variable box in this program is to load the distance digit. With this box called “distance”, we can store the measured distance digit between ultrasonic sensor and front obstacle. So every time I mention distance, it refers to the distance value measured by the ultrasonic sensor at that time.

Click “Variables”, drag out the blockand; and drag the blockfrom“Desktop_Car_V3” into the block.

And again go to drag the blockinto the block; then duplicate this code string once, change“val_L”to“val_R”, click the drop-down triangle to select “right_infrared_avoid”.

Next judge whether the ultrasonic sensor detects front obstacle or the left and the right obstacle detector module detects obstacle.

Here we can use the judgement statement “if...do...else if...do...” . First write the program when the centre obstacle distance detected by ultrasonic sensor is smaller than or equal to 5cm, or both the left and the right obstacle detector module detect obstacle, the robot will turn back at a speed of PWM200.

Go to “Control”, drag out the block, then click the blue gear icon, appear the edit box, drag the block intoblock five times. So you can get the block:

Next, go to “Logic”, drag the blockand select“≤”; go to “Variables”, drag out the block into the first input box at the left side of “≤”; drag thefrom the “Math” into the second input box at the right side of “≤” ; change the value 0 to 5; like this:(note you can type the value flexibly.)

We duplicate this block twice, respectively change the variable“distance”to“val_L”and“val_R”;“≤”to“＝” We have mentioned before that the obstacle detector module detects obstacle, output LOW digital signal 0; detects no obstacle, output HIGH digital signal 1. So here change the value 5 to 0.

Think back, we use the two words “or”, “and ” when describe the judgement statement. There are two blocks in “Logic” to represent either one of two conditions happens or both of them happen at the same time, that is, .

Drag out the block and click the drop-down triangle to select “or” and can get the block.

Drag the block into block to make as.

Then drag the block into the first input box of or block; drag the block and respectively into the input box of and block. So can get the block and drag it behind to the if statement. This means the judgment condition is when the centre obstacle distance detected by ultrasonic sensor is smaller than or equal to 5cm, or both the left and the right obstacle detector module detect obstacle.

Followed by drag out the blockfrom“Desktop_Car_V3”into the do statement; change the PWM0 into PWM200.
Thus, we now have written well the program when the front obstacle distance detected by ultrasonic sensor is smaller than or equal to 5cm, or both the left and the right obstacle detector module detect obstacle, the robot will turn back at a speed of PWM200.

We now move on to write the program. When the front obstacle distance detected by ultrasonic sensor is greater than 5cm, and the left obstacle detector module detects obstacle and the right one didn’t detect obstacle, the robot will rotate to left at a speed of PWM200.

Duplicate the block once and drag into the first else if statement; set to distance＞5 and val_L=0 and val_R=1

Drag out the blockfrom“Desktop_Car_V3”into the do statement; change the PWM0 into PWM200.

Next write the program that the front obstacle distance detected by ultrasonic sensor is greater than 5cm, and the left obstacle detector module didn’t detect obstacle and the right one detects obstacle, the robot will rotate to right at a speed of PWM200.

Duplicate the blockonce and drag into the second else ifstatement; set to distance＞5 and val_L=1 and val_R=0

Drag out the block from“Desktop_Car_V3”into the do statement; change the PWM0 into PWM200.

Move on to write the program. When the front obstacle distance detected by ultrasonic sensor is greater than 5cm, and smaller than or equal to 15cm, and both obstacle detector modules didn’t detect obstacle, the robot will stop running.

Go to “Logic”, drag out the block; duplicate the block once and set to “distance≤15”; then separately drag the block and into the input box of block , like this:.

And again drag out the block, then drag the block into the first input box of block; duplicate the block once and drag it into the second input box of block and change “val_R=0” into “val_R=1”.

Now drag the block into the third else if statement. Drag out the block from“Desktop_Car_V3”into the do statement.

Next it’s easy to write the program. When the front obstacle distance detected by ultrasonic sensor is greater than 15cm, and smaller than or equal to 35cm, and both obstacle detector modules didn’t detect obstacle, the robot will go front at a speed of PWM255.

Direct duplicate the block once and change to distance＞15 and distance≤35, and drag it into the fourth else if statement.
Drag out the block from“Desktop_Car_V3”into the do statement, and set the value to 255.
Finally write the program. When the front obstacle distance detected by ultrasonic sensor is greater than 35cm, and both obstacle detector modules didn’t detect obstacle, the robot will stop running.

Duplicate the code block once and drag it into the fifth else if statement. Change to distance＞35 and val_L=1 and val_R=1
Drag out the block from “Desktop_Car_V3”into the do statement.

Now the code for following robot is finished. Upload the complete code to operate your desktop robot!

Test Code:
Can’t connect the Bluetooth module when upload the code, otherwise, code upload fails.
You should upload the code success, then plug in the Bluetooth module.

Result:

Upload success and turn the slide switch to ON position. The robot will follow the front object to move.

Project 11: Obstacle Avoiding Robot

Circuit Design:
We’re now ready to give the robot another capability - Obstacle Avoiding!
It is pretty simple. Just keep the same components and connection method as following robot, but need to change the code.

Below is a specific logic table of Obstacle Avoiding robot for reference:

Build Obstacle Avoiding Robot:
Based on the designed circuit, we are going to build an obstacle avoiding robot car.
Check the circuit diagram and test code below.

Test Code:

In the above section we have introduced how to use the ultrasonic sensor and obstacle detector module to make a following robot. Now let’s write the program to make the robot automatically avoid obstacles.
First we set up three variables, “distance”, “val_L”and “val_R”. The variable “distance” means save the distance value measured by ultrasonic sensor; “val_L”and “val_R” respectively save the signal of obstacle detected by the left and the right obstacle detector sensor.

Click “Variables”, drag out the block; and drag the block from “Math” into the block. Then duplicate the blocktwice; respectively change “item”into“distance”、“val_L”and“val_R”; set the value to 0.

Click “Variables”, drag out the blockand ; and drag the block from“Desktop_Car_V3” into the block . And again go to drag the block into the block; then duplicate this code string once, change“val_L”to“val_R”, click the drop-down triangle to select “right_infrared_avoid”.

Next judge whether the ultrasonic sensor detects front obstacle or the left and the right obstacle detector module detects obstacle. Here we can use the judgement statement “if...do...else if...do...” .

First write the program. No matter how far the front obstacle detected by ultrasonic sensor, as long as both the left and the right obstacle detector module detect obstacle, the robot will turn back for one second at a speed of PWM150, and then turn left for 0.5 second at a speed of PWM200.

Go to “Control”, drag out the block, then click the blue gear icon, appear the edit box, drag the block into block four times. So you can get the block:

Next, go to “Logic”, drag the block; go to “Variables”, drag out the block into the first input box at the left side of “=”; drag the from the “Math” into the second input box at the right side of “=” ; keep the value 0; like this:.

We duplicate this block once, and change the variable to; like this:
And again go to “Logic”, drag the block into the if statement, then drag the block and into the input box of block.

Drag out the block from “Desktop_Car_V3”into the do statement, and set the value to PWM150. And add a delay block in 1000ms.
Then drag out the block into the do statement, and set the value to PWM200. And add a delay block in 500ms. Till now we have made a piece of code like below:

We now move on to write the program. No matter how far the front obstacle detected by ultrasonic sensor, the left obstacle detector module didn’t detect obstacle and the right one detects obstacle, the robot will rotate to left at a speed of PWM200; the left obstacle detector module detects obstacle and the right one didn’t detect obstacle, the robot will rotate to right at a speed of PWM200.

Duplicate the blockonce and drag into the first else if statement; set to val_L=1 and val_R=0
Drag out the blockfrom“Desktop_Car_V3”into the do statement; change the PWM0 into PWM200.
Duplicate the blockonce again and drag into the second else if statement; set to val_L=0 and val_R=1
Drag out the blockfrom“Desktop_Car_V3” into the do statement; change the PWM0 into PWM200.

We continue to write the program. When the front obstacle distance detected by ultrasonic sensor is smaller than or equal to 10cm, and both obstacle detector modules didn’t detect obstacle, the robot will rotate to right at a speed of PWM200. When the front obstacle distance detected by ultrasonic sensor is greater than 10cm, and the left obstacle detector module detects obstacle and the right one didn’t detect obstacle, the robot will go front at a speed of PWM200.

go to “Logic”, drag the block and select“≤”; go to “Variables”, drag out the block into the first input box at the left side of “≤”; drag the from the “Math” into the second input box at the right side of “≤” ; change the value 0 to 10; like this:

Drag out the block into the third else if statement; drag the block into the first input box of block; duplicate the block once and drag it into the second input box of block ; set to val_L=1 and val_R=1

Drag out the block from“Desktop_Car_V3”into the do statement; change the PWM0 into PWM200.

Then duplicate the block once and drag it into the fourth else if statement; change to distance＞10, and drag out the block into the do statement; change the PWM0 into PWM200.

Source Code:
Now the code for obstacle avoiding robot is finished. Upload the complete code to see the final effect!
Can’t connect the Bluetooth module when upload the code, otherwise, code upload fails. You should upload the code success, then plug in the Bluetooth module.

Result:
Upload success and turn the slide switch to ON position.
The robot can automatically avoid the front obstacle to run.

The line tracking sensor detects white, output LOW 0; detecting black, output HIGH 1.
To judge whether the left, the center and the right tracking sensor detect black line, if the center tracking sensor detects black line, the robot will go front at a speed of PWM200.

Here we can use the condition statementor . But the blockis more efficient than .
Go to “Control”, drag out the block, then click the blue gear icon, appear the edit box, drag theblock into block. So you can get the block .

Next, go to the “Logic”, drag out the block into the if statement, and drag out the block from the“Desktop_Car_V3”into the first input box at the left side of “=” and click drop-down triangle to select “center tracking”; drag the from the “Math” into the second input box at the right side of “=” and change the value to 1 ; like this: .
Drag out the block from“Desktop_Car_V3”into the do statement, and set the value to PWM200.

Or else, in the case that the center tracking sensor detects white line, if the left tracking sensor detects black line and the right tracking sensor detects white line, the robot will rotate to left at a speed of PWM200; if the left tracking sensor detects white line and the right tracking sensor detects black line, the robot will rotate to right at a speed of PWM200.

Here we can use the condition statement “if...do...else if...do...”

Go to “Control”, drag out the block, then click the blue gear icon, appear the edit box, drag the block into block. So you can get the block and then drag this block into the else statement of block .

Next, go to the “Logic”, drag out the block, and drag out the block from the“Desktop_Car_V3”into the first input box at the left side of “=”; drag thefrom the “Math” into the second input box at the right side of “=” and change the value to 1 ; like this:.

We duplicate the block once, and respectively click the drop-down triangle icon to select “right_tracking” and change the value to 0.

And again go to the “Logic”, drag out the block into the if statement; respectively drag the block and into the input box of block . Get the block:

Drag out the blockfrom “Desktop_Car_V3”into the do statement, and set the value to PWM200.

Next duplicate the block once and drag it into else if statement; change to “left_tracking=0 and right_tracking=1” Drag out the block from“Desktop_Car_V3”into the do statement, and set the value to PWM200.
Till now we have made a piece of code like below:

In the case that the center tracking sensor detects white line, if the left tracking sensor detects white line and the right tracking sensor detects white line, the robot will stop running; if the left tracking sensor detects black line and the right tracking sensor detects black line, the robot will stop running.

Click the blue gear icon on the left upper corner of if statement, appear the edit box, drag the block beneath else if block . So that the block will turn into .
Drag out the block from “Desktop_Car_V3”into the else statement.

Now we’ve written well the program code for line tracking function. Upload the code to see the final effect! Note: Can’t connect the Bluetooth module when upload the code, otherwise, code upload fails. You should upload the code success, then plug in the Bluetooth module.

Result:
Upload success and turn the slide switch to ON position.
The robot can automatically track black line.

Project 14: Bluetooth Controlled Robot

We have built an infrared control smart car. In this project we are going to make a Bluetooth control smart car. Since it is a control smart car, there should be a control terminal and a controlled terminal.
In the course, we use the mobile phone as the console (host), and the HM-10 Bluetooth module (slave) connected to smart car as the controlled terminal.
When using, we need to install an APP on the phone, and connect the HM-10 Bluetooth module, then we use the buttons on the Bluetooth APP to control the smart car to achieve various motion states.

Bluetooth Remote Control

Bluetooth technology is a wireless standard technology that enables short-distance data exchange between fixed devices, mobile devices, and building personal area networks (using UHF radio waves in the ISM band of 2.4 to 2.485 GHz).
The robot kit is equipped with the HM-10 Bluetooth module, which is a master-slave machine. When use as the Host, it can send commands to the slave actively; when use as the Slave, it can only receive commands from the host.
The HM-10 Bluetooth module supports the Bluetooth 4.0 protocol, which not only supports Android mobile, but also supports iOS system.

In the experiment, we default to use the HM-10 Bluetooth module as a Slave and the cellphone as a Host.
We install the Bluetooth APP on the mobile phone, connecting the Bluetooth module; finally use the Bluetooth APP to control the robot car move, or to control the working status of other sensor modules on the robot car.
We provide you with 2 types of mobile APP, for Android and iOS system.

In this project, tap the forward button of the Bluetooth APP to control the buzzer sound. When the Bluetooth APP is successfully connected to the Bluetooth module, press the forward button of the Bluetooth APP, and the buzzer makes a small "click,click,click"; release the button to turn off the buzzer.

Project 15: Bluetooth Multi-function Robot

How to build a multi-function robot combined with all the functions we’ve learned? In this circuit, we use a complete code to program the smart car to navigate the world on its own. Pretty simple and easy to switch different functions.

Hookup Guide:
Note: should upload the code success first, then plug in Bluetooth module. Otherwise, code upload fails.

Coding:

Write the program to know what signal the Bluetooth module sends.
Go to “Control”, drag out the block; and drag the block from “SerialPort” into the “setup” block.
We first click the imported library “Desktop_Car_V3”, drag out the block ; drag the block from “SerialPort” into the BLE receiver block just made.
.
Then go to “Variables”, drag out the block into the block .

Press any direction button and stop button, the Bluetooth module will receive corresponding signal, and robot car will move and stop in the corresponding direction.

So here require to make “option” judgement; we will use the block from “Control”.
Drag out the block , then click the blue gear icon, appear the edit box, drag the block into block, turning into .

When the value of the "expression" behind the switch block is equal to the value of the "constant expression" behind a case block, the statement following this case is executed.
After executing the statement following a case, the process control is transferred to the next case to continue execution.

Since the Bluetooth APP has several direction buttons, stop button, and button for obstacle avoiding, line tracking, ultrasonic follow function, press the different direction buttons to make the robot move in the corresponding direction and start different functions.

So here we set 12 case statements; click the blue gear icon, appear the edit box , drag the block into block eleven times again.
Press the arrow buttons on the APP, robot car will move in the corresponding direction.

Go to the “Variables” , drag out the block into the switch statement. Press the button , robot car will go front at a speed of PWM200. Go to “Text” , drag the block into case statement. Because press the button and mobile Bluetooth will send a character “F” to Bluetooth module, Bluetooth module will receive the character “F”, so we replace the “a” with “F”.
Drag the block from the “Desktop_Car_V3”beneath the case statement and change the PWM0 to PWM200.
Press the button , mobile Bluetooth will send a character “B” to Bluetooth module, Bluetooth module receives the character “B”, robot car will go back at a speed of PWM200.
Go to “Text” , drag the block into case statement, replacing the “a” with “B”. Drag the block from the“Desktop_Car_V3”beneath the case statement and change the PWM0 to PWM200.
Press the button , mobile Bluetooth will send a character “L” to Bluetooth module, Bluetooth module receives the character “L”, robot car will turn left.

Go to “Text” , drag the block into casestatement, replacing the “a” with “L”. Drag the block from the“Desktop_Car_V3”beneath the case statement.
Press the button , mobile Bluetooth will send a character “R” to Bluetooth module, Bluetooth module receives the character “R”, robot car will turn right.
Go to “Text” , drag the block into case statement, replacing the “a” with “R”. Drag the block from the“Desktop_Car_V3”beneath the case statement.
Press the button , mobile Bluetooth will send a character “S” to Bluetooth module, Bluetooth module receives the character “S”, robot car will STOP.
Go to “Text” , drag the block into case statement, replacing the “a” with “S”. Drag the block from the “Desktop_Car_V3”beneath the case statement. Because Bluetooth module receives a character “S”, buzzer in the power amplifier module will make a sound, so here we need to drag the block from“Desktop_Car_V3”to turn off buzzer.
.

Result:
Stack the motor drive shield onto UNO board. Connect the UNO control board to computer’s USB port with USB cable to upload the code.
Turn the slide switch ON.
Connected Bluetooth module, we can use Bluetooth APP to navigate the desktop car by clicking the different buttons on the APP.
Tap Stop button to pause the function.
Note: the Android Bluetooth APP CANNOT realize the voice control.
