# ESP32 Robotic Arm with Bluetooth Control
## Description
This project demonstrates how to control a robotic arm using an ESP32 microcontroller. The arm has three servo motors and an electromagnet, which can be controlled via Bluetooth commands.
## Features
- Control three servo motors to adjust the robotic arm angles.
- Toggle an electromagnet on and off for object manipulation.
- Communicate with the ESP32 using Bluetooth commands.
## Components Required
- ESP32 microcontroller
- 3 x Servo motors
- Electromagnet
- Power supply
- Connecting wires
- Breadboard or PCB
## Pin Configuration
| Component | ESP32 Pin |
|--------------------|-----------|
| Servo 1 | GPIO 25 |
| Servo 2 | GPIO 26 |
| Servo 3 | GPIO 27 |
| Electromagnet | GPIO 23 |
## Software Requirements
- Arduino IDE
- ESP32 board library
- ESP32Servo library
## Installation
1. Install the [Arduino IDE](https://www.arduino.cc/en/software/).
2. Add the ESP32 board library to the Arduino IDE.
- Go to `File > Preferences`.
- Add the following URL to the "Additional Board Manager URLs":
```
https://dl.espressif.com/dl/package_esp32_index.json
```
- Open `Tools > Board > Board Manager` and install the ESP32 library.
3. Install the ESP32Servo library via `Sketch > Include Library > Manage Libraries`.
## Code Explanation
### Libraries Used
- **ESP32Servo**: To control the servo motors.
- **BluetoothSerial**: To enable Bluetooth communication.
### Pin Definitions
- **ELECTROMAGNET_PIN**: GPIO 23 controls the electromagnet.
- Servo pins are GPIO 25, 26, and 27.
### Commands
The ESP32 accepts the following commands via Bluetooth:
| Command | Description |
|-------------------|--------------------------------------------|
| `S1:` | Set Servo 1 angle (0–180 degrees) |
| `S2:` | Set Servo 2 angle (0–180 degrees) |
| `S3:` | Set Servo 3 angle (0–180 degrees) |
| `MAGNET_ON` | Turn the electromagnet on |
| `MAGNET_OFF` | Turn the electromagnet off |
### Setup
1. Initialize Bluetooth with the name `ESP32_RobotArm`.
2. Attach the servos to their respective pins.
3. Set the servos to their starting angles.
4. Configure the electromagnet pin as an output and set it to `LOW`.
### Loop
- Check for incoming Bluetooth commands.
- Parse commands to control the servo angles or electromagnet state.
- Handle unrecognized commands gracefully.
## Usage
1. Upload the code to the ESP32 using the Arduino IDE.
2. Pair the ESP32 with your phone or computer using Bluetooth.
3. Use a Bluetooth terminal app to send commands.
- Example apps: "Serial Bluetooth Terminal" for Android or "LightBlue" for iOS.
4. Send the appropriate commands to control the robotic arm.
## Example Commands
- Set Servo 1 to 45 degrees:
```
S1:45
```
- Turn on the electromagnet:
```
MAGNET_ON
```
- Set Servo 2 to 90 degrees:
```
S2:90
```
## Troubleshooting
- Ensure the ESP32 is powered correctly.
- Verify that the servos and electromagnet are properly connected.
- Check for any syntax errors in the Bluetooth commands.
