Final Paper

Final presentation of this project has been done and I am currently working on writing a final paper for it. Results of this project will be updated here soon.

Current Progress

Below is a list of my current progress.

1. Line follower

• It is working, but I will need to keep testing it to make sure that it is REALLY working.

2.  Serial communication between my Arduino Uno and the Arduino on Redbot

• This one is tricky
• I know how I can make a serial communication between these two, but the problem is I will also be connecting my Tx and Rx on my Uno to the Bluetooth module to allow Bluetooth communication.
• Now I am not sure how to connect these 3 things together. 

3. Communication using IR LED transmitters and detectors. 

• I am able to use multiple pairs of these to get different "pattern" of signals. 
• However, I am currently trying it on my Arduino, I am yet to transfer it to using just batteries. 
• I am also currently testing on how close each pair should or shouldn't be to avoid interference.

4. Bluetooth communication

• It is working fine.  

THE CHALLENGE IS PUTTING EVERYTHING TOGETHER! 

Working on the line follower..

I am still working on the line follower and will update my progress here once I get it worked.

Line Follower Array

This is a guide for how to hook up line follower array to RedBot.

Bluetooth Communication Between Arduino and Android Smartphone

A Bluetooth connection was established successfully between Arduino and an Android smartphone. The video below shows the result of a simple mobile app that was created to control LED wirelessly over Bluetooth connection.

I am currently in the process of creating an app for my project. Progress will be updated here as soon as I have something significant to show. 

3D Road Map

For this week, I will also be starting to build the physical road map for my project. I have found some templates that I can use for constructing paper buildings on my map here. I will also explore and look for more templates and pick from the best to make my map look as real as possible.

IR Communication

For this week, I will be exploring on the topic of IR communication as it is one of the most important components of my project. Some of the resources used include this and this.
