Kaushik_ma
Kaushik_ma over 3 years ago

So guys I had setup of rc car .I am using 4 motors , l293d driver ,ardunio Uno board and an hc -06 Bluetooth module for connection. The problem is after setting all if I supply current through batteries the l293d driver and ardunio is working but Bluetooth module is not working , instead I am giving the supply from power Bank the Bluetooth module and ardunio are running but l293d driver is not working..please tell me an solution

    Per dougs critical request, also please note the battery volts. Is rc meaning bluetooth is the speed and steering controls ? Please note any other sensors

    also ensure ALL power source commons are tied together.

    If I given power supply through 3 18650 batteries then expect Bluetooth module all are working and instead if I supplied power through power Bank then all are working except l293d motor driver

    18650 batteries are at least 3.7 V each - in series they would supply over 11V.  The regulator on an Uno can take this voltage, but a HC06 expects to run off 3-5V depending on the model. 5V is available on Uno pins, but 5V and GND need to be connected to the HC06 assuming it is the type with its own regulator. The motor driver may handle the higher voltage - you should check. A power bank may only supply 5 V which is fine for the UNO and HC06 but may not be enough for the motors. If you connect a power bank to the UNO USB port - it may not supply power to the motor controller. You need to supply the correct voltage to the UNO, the HC06 and the motor controller, and all grounds need to be connected together.

    You mentioned using a Power Bank.  If this is a USB Power Bank, it will not power the motors (except for servo motors).  So it would make sense that your motors did not work.

    Without a connection schematic it is difficult to determine why the HC-06 isn't working when the battery is the power source.  It would be good to try a separate power source for the Arduino and the the motors, but make sure you remove the power jumper first!

    You're brave, constructing a battery pack from three LiPo cells that are unprotected according to the peeled one, into a cheap spring holder with thin wires. If there's a stall on the motors then expect some melting/fires somewhere.
