NOTE: THIS IS NOT A CONSOLE REMOTE CONTROL APPLICATION. READ THE DESCRIPTION BEFORE DOWNLOADING.

This application is a part of a project for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (Omaha Campus) working with the CEENBoT. The project consisted of taking a Bluetooth adapter, commonly used with Arduino, and integrating it with the CEENBoT through UART. This application mimics the remote control and allows the position of the joysticks and buttons to be transmitted through Bluetooth.

Required hardware:
CEENBoT w/ Firmware
HC-05 Bluetooth chip (SPP profile)

The firmware source is currently unavailable. For the time being this application will likely not work for anyone else unless reverse engineered for another robot or bluetooth module.

Background: The CEENBoT was created by students and later awarded a grant given to help enrich the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) enlightenment within K-12 schools and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (Omaha Campus) Computer and Electronics Engineering department (CEEN) also has in the past provided these to their students as an entry way into methods of soldering, programming using the publicly available API and to allow the creativity in robotics to begin flowing at a very early stage of the college career. This application was developed along with a few other projects. More information on the CEENBoT platform available at http://www.ceenbotinc.com/ and http://www.ceen.unomaha.edu/CEENBoT/.
