Hi!
I require your help regarding a problem I’m encountering.
Description:
I built an rc mower about ten years ago with a Dimension Engineering H Bridge and a standard 2.4 RX and TX
I have seen the many apps you can put on a phone to provide a simple Bluetooth controller
I would like to switch my old 2.4 out and run this bot from my phone
I just need direction in what Raspberry Pi or Arduino would work best as the Bluetooth RX
Any help appreciated Thanks

Hello @Fritzthecat!
If your motor driver is compatible with microcontrollers you could simply get an Arduino and add a Bluetooth module to it (here’s a good tutorial using Arduino if you are interested in that) or you could get a microcontroller that already has Bluetooth, for example, the ESP32 based ones. You can find many options in the Internet of Things (IoT) section of the store.
If your motor driver is not compatible with microcontroller signals you could get a motor driver that already has a Bluetooth module, for example the MotorAir v2 - Bluetooth Dual Motor Driver Smartphone Remote Control Kit (just check if that would work for your motors) or another option is a WiFi DC Controller.
I hope this information can help you out!
Let us know if you have further questions
