Arduino : How to Control Stepper Motor Via Bluetooth (with Smartphone)

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
