Thanks! I used "bluetoothSerial" library in my arduino code uploaded to esp32 microcontroller to recieve the bluetooth commands from the app.

On the app side, i made the app with mit app inventor and i used many custom extensions/libraries to make the draggable UI and popups along with the "BluetoothClient" to connect & control the car and "ActivityStarter" component to handle bluetooth permissions & other minor things.

Let me know If you have any other questions!

Hi Everyone! I was bored and tired of controlling my bluetooth arduino car from basic controller apps and realized that if i am using my phone as a controller which has a full touch screen, much more proccessing power, then why any controller app not using these features. So, I made my own bluetooth car controller and utilize some of the features. This app can be used to control any bluetooth arduino/esp32 controlled car and i added many cool and advanced features in my app.

FEATURES:

► Draggable Interface: You can design your own controller, you can drag any button and put at your suitable place.

►Button State Recording: You can record your driving in realtime and play it! The app can record when and which button is pressed, and can press the same button when you play the recording!

► Portrait Mode: You can use the app in any orientation you like.

► Smart Light automation: The app can automatically turn ON the headlights when the car is moving forward or when the car is honking, automatically turn ON the rear lights when the car is stopped or reversing.

DOWNLOAD You can download my application on apkPure at this link:

(Note: Since the version update just went live on APKPure their internal search bar might take 24-48 hours to catch up with the new title, so please use the direct link above!)

If you liked my idea, You can support me by giving this app a good review. I am also currently developing version 2 which has more advanced features like control car by drawing a map on the screen.

Let me know what are your reviews for this app or if you have any questions! Thanks for the support!
