For starters this is my first instructable, and my first tutorial overall. With this said point out in the comments what you didn't understand in this post.

A few weeks ago I got curious on how Bluetooth controlling on arduino works, after a little research i found out that is is a very simple process, so i purchased a robot build, and a JY-MCU Bluetooth Serial Port Module. I decided that the best way to control this robot would be with my very own custom made android app.

Using My App

Click Bluetooth pic and then your Bluetooth module that you paired your phone to, this should let you control it.

BlueDuino Testing

Here is a basic test, the motors are unfortunately 1kg torque so they aren't that strong.
