Summary of Arduino : How to Control Stepper Motor Via Bluetooth (with Smartphone)
This project demonstrates how to control a unipolar stepper motor using an Arduino and a smartphone via Bluetooth. The setup utilizes a rusty 5-wire EPOCH stepper motor connected through an L293D motor driver (referenced in a prior tutorial). Communication between the phone and Arduino is established using a Bluetooth module, allowing for wireless motor control.
Parts used in the Stepper Motor Bluetooth Control:
- Arduino
- EPOCH 5-wire unipolar stepper motor
- L293D Motor Driver
- Bluetooth Module (HC05 or HC06)
- Jumper Cables
This instructable is the written version of my “Arduino : How To Control Stepper Motor via Bluetooth (with Smartphone)”
In this project we will control a Stepper motor with a smartphone via bluetooth.
First, you should see the following Instructable:
How to Control a Stepper Motor With L293D Motor Driver
Step 1: Tutorial
The Stepper motor used here is a rusty old EPOCH (5 wires) stepper motor, which is a unipolar stepper.
Step 2: Parts Required :
Parts Required :
– Bluetooth Module ( for example : HC05 or HC06 )
– Jumper Cables
Step 3: Circuit & Connections
Bluetooth Modul VCC to Arduino 5V
(at the same time if you want, you can use 3V3)
Bluetooth Modul GND to Arduino GND
Bluetooth Modul RX to Arduino TX
Bluetooth Modul TX to Arduino RX

- How do I control a stepper motor with a smartphone?
You can control it by connecting a Bluetooth module to an Arduino which drives the motor. - What type of stepper motor is used in this project?
A rusty old 5-wire EPOCH unipolar stepper motor is used. - Can I use 3V3 for the Bluetooth module VCC?
Yes, you can use 3V3 at the same time as the standard 5V connection. - Which Bluetooth modules are compatible?
The article suggests using HC05 or HC06 modules. - How should the Bluetooth RX pin be connected?
The Bluetooth Modul TX should connect to the Arduino RX. - Does this project require a new tutorial video?
No, it references a YouTube video titled How to Control a Stepper Motor With L293D Motor Driver for circuit details.
