Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

Building your own Bluetooth phone-controlled BB-8 Droid using Arduino is an exciting way to explore robotics, electronics, and wireless control systems. This project not only taps into the fun of Star Wars fandom but also provides hands-on experience with microcontrollers, sensors, audio modules, and Bluetooth connectivity. Learning how to create such interactive devices boosts your understanding of automation and the Internet of Things (IoT), which are vital in today’s tech-driven world.

This course begins with an introduction to the BB-8 Droid and its core working principles, followed by guidance on choosing the right microcontroller. You’ll then build an Arduino-based audio player using an SD module and speaker, covering materials, circuit design, and code implementation. The next section dives into Bluetooth control using the HC-06 module, teaching hardware setup, circuit connections, and smartphone integration. Finally, you’ll assemble the full BB-8 Droid using Arduino Mega, learning the mechanical setup, circuitry, coding, and real-time testing to bring your custom droid to life.

The course equips learners with practical skills in Arduino programming, Bluetooth communication, and robotics assembly through a fun and engaging project-based approach.
