Arduino Bluetooth QuickBot

Arduino QuickBot

This is the QuickBot implementation on the Arduino platform.

Instead of BeagleBone Black i use Arduino UNO.
Instead of WiFi module i use Bluetooth module HC-06.

It uses the same commands as original QuickBot, but instead of TCP/IP connection
it uses serial connection.

Robot is based on SparkFun RedBot Kit
https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12697.
Mainboard is SparkFun RedBot Mainboard (Arduino UNO compatible)
https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12097.

Android Bluetooth Joystick application to handle QuickBot via Bluetooth module:

QuickBot originated from coursera course "Control of Mobile Robots":
