In this tutorial we will look at making a mobile controlled robot with Explore Robo platform and we will be using arduino software to program the board.

Working

Whenever we make a call, and press keys, dtmf tones are generated and transmitted. The tones can be easily decoded using a IC like MT8870. This enables a lot of possibilities for wireless control over mobile and telephone. We will use it to control the Explore Robo with DTMF.

Code

/*
Demonstrates reading DTMF keys from chip like MT8870 and driving motors with the help
of L293d bridge; making a Mobile controlled Robot.
Tones are read from the DTMF decoder and keys 2, 8, 4, 6 are used to move the robot
FORWARD, BACKWARD, LEFT and RIGHT.
The DTMF interrupt (INT1) is used to read a new key.
