  • Connect the relay module's input pin to a digital output pin on the Arduino.

  • Connect the relay module's output pin to the water pump.

• Bluetooth Module: Connect the Bluetooth module to the Arduino according to the module's specifications.

• Sensors (Optional): If you want to add features like obstacle avoidance, connect the necessary sensors (e.g., ultrasonic sensors) to the Arduino.

4. Develop and Upload Code:

Ardiuno code:

#define IN1 2 #define IN2 3 #define IN3 4 #define IN4 5 #define relay 11 #define ENA 9 #define ENB 10 #define Speed 180 void setup() { Serial1.begin(9600); pinMode(IN1, OUTPUT); pinMode(IN2, OUTPUT); pinMode(IN3, OUTPUT); pinMode(IN4, OUTPUT); pinMode(relay,OUTPUT); digitalWrite(relay,HIGH); } void loop() { if (Serial1.available() > 0) { delay(2); char value = Serial1.read(); Serial.println(value); if (value == 'U') { Forward(); } else if (value == 'D') { Backward(); } else if (value == 'S') { Stop(); } else if (value == 'L') { Left(); } else if (value == 'R') { Right(); }else if(value == '1'){ digitalWrite(relay,LOW); }else if(value == '2'){ digitalWrite(relay,HIGH); } } } void Forward() { analogWrite(ENA, Speed); analogWrite(ENB, Speed); digitalWrite(IN1, HIGH); digitalWrite(IN2, LOW); digitalWrite(IN3, HIGH); digitalWrite(IN4, LOW); } void Backward() { analogWrite(ENA, Speed); analogWrite(ENB, Speed); digitalWrite(IN1, LOW); digitalWrite(IN2, HIGH); digitalWrite(IN3, LOW); digitalWrite(IN4, HIGH); } void Stop() { digitalWrite(IN1, LOW); digitalWrite(IN2, LOW); digitalWrite(IN3, LOW); digitalWrite(IN4, LOW); } void Left() { analogWrite(ENA, Speed); analogWrite(ENB, Speed); digitalWrite(IN1, HIGH); digitalWrite(IN2, LOW); digitalWrite(IN3, LOW); digitalWrite(IN4, HIGH); } void Right() { analogWrite(ENA, Speed); analogWrite(ENB, Speed); digitalWrite(IN1, LOW); digitalWrite(IN2, HIGH); digitalWrite(IN3, HIGH); digitalWrite(IN4, LOW); }

• Write the Code:

  • Use the Arduino IDE to write the code.

  • The code should:

    • Receive commands from the Bluetooth module.

    • Control the motor driver to move the fire truck forward, backward, and turn.

    • Activate the relay to turn the water pump on/off based on the received commands.

    • Include necessary libraries (e.g., SoftwareSerial for Bluetooth communication).

• Upload the Code:

  • Connect the Arduino board to your computer via USB.

  • Upload the compiled code to the Arduino board using the Arduino IDE.

5. Test and Calibrate:

• Power On: Connect the battery holder to power the system.

• Bluetooth Connection: Connect to the fire truck using the SriTu Hobby Bluetooth controller app.

• Test Movement: Use the app to control the fire truck's movement (forward, backward, turns).

• Test Water Pump: Use the app to activate and deactivate the water pump.

• Calibrate and Adjust: Fine-tune the motor speeds and steering to achieve optimal performance.

6. Refine and Customize (Optional):

• Add Enhancements:

  • Implement obstacle avoidance using sensors.

  • Add a water tank and a water spraying mechanism.

  • Include sound effects (e.g., siren).

  • Incorporate a camera for remote viewing.

• Customize Aesthetics: Decorate the chassis with paint, stickers, or other creative elements to make it look like a real fire truck.

Note:

• This is a general guide. The specific wiring and code will vary depending on your components and design choices.

• Refer to the datasheets of the components for detailed specifications and pinouts.

• Always exercise caution when working with electronics and power sources.
