The RS385 DC motor using 12V driving voltage, the
fastest speed can reach 3800 rpm. Using l298n module drive
motor, with a voltage conversion chip, the 12V voltage can be
converted 5V voltage, The l298n module can drive two RS385
DC motor. As shown in Figure 2.
The L298 is a high voltage, high current dual full-bridge
driver designed to accept standard TTL logic levels and drive
inductive loads such as relays, solenoids, DC and stepping
motors. Two enable inputs are provided to enable or disable the
device independently of the input signals. The emitters of the
lower transistors of each bridge are connected together and the
corresponding external terminal can be used for the connection
of an external sensing resistor. An additional supply input is
provided so that the logic works at a lower voltage. As shown
in Figure 3.

(2) Bluetooth module HC-05
Bluetooth is fairly simple to use and can be used to connect
up to seven devices at a time. It is also easy to switch between
devices or find and connect to any new devices. Bluetooth
devices, such as mobile phones, computer mice, keyboards,
office and industrial automation devices operate in the
authenticated frequency domain between 2.4 and 2.4835 GHz.
Using a frequency hop algorithm, the device uses a frequency
of 1600 hops per second, to avoid interference of devices
operating in the same zone. This device operates on a certain
frequency, called a time slot, and it lasts for 625 μs. The
piconet’s1 internal frequency based on the pseudo-random hop
frequency is changed by the master unit. The frequency band is
divided into 79 channels in the area of 1 MHz, and the data is
transmitted in units of frames.
The HC-05 adopts master-slave bluetooth module, as
shown in Figure 3. The user does not need to delve into the
Bluetooth module transmission protocol, use at instruction set
to complete the corresponding operation, and through the AT
command to switch master-slave mode.

Fig. 4. Bluetooth module and wiring diagram
 The Bluetooth Module HC-05 is a wireless technology
standard. It provides the medium to exchange information
wirelessly between two systems over approximately 10 meters
distances. The exchange of data takes place using short-
wavelength ultra-high frequency (UHF) radio waves in the
Industrial Scientific and Medical (ISM) band from 2.4 t0 2.485
GHz from fixed as well as mobile devices and building
personal area networks(PANs).
The HC-05 Bluetooth slave module is used to connect with
Bluetooth master devices such as a Bluetooth dongle 2 or an
Android smartphone. When power is supplied to the master
module, it searches for the HC-05 Bluetooth slave module in
its neighborhood and the slave module connects directly to the
master module.
(3) MP3 Playback Module
Music playback module can directly decode the audio
signals in TF into analog signals through the data output port
for output, on the power of automatic playback, loop playback
with memory function, the next time after the last play from the
track replay playback, with LED display. External power
amplifier module on the output of the audio analog signal
amplification processing, but also left a music playback control
interface, can be directly through the high and low level pulse
to control the music playback. As shown in Figure 5.
III. SYSTEM HARDWARE DESIGN
A. Mobile app design
The mobile phone app uses Java language programming,
realizes control interface and key state monitoring. When you
open the phone app first to monitor whether Bluetooth has
been paired successfully, if not correctly paired, mobile app
will give the message. After the successful connection of the
mobile phone app into the control of the main interface, began
to monitor the mobile phone screen triggered events, when
monitoring to press the button will start the data sending
program, the data encapsulation and processing in accordance
with the standard Bluetooth protocol to send data. Once the
send is complete, it will enter the listening mode again,
waiting for the next key to be triggered, as shown in Figure 7.

Figure 6. Channel maximum of 18W amplifier circuit design,
while the onboard 10K adjustable resistor, can easily adjust the
volume, the onboard power led, direct access to audio signals,
directly using 5V power supply.
The Bluetooth module adopts the AT command to set the
working mode, baud rate of 9600, data bits of 8 bits, set up
after the success of the Bluetooth module into the data
monitoring mode, when the main module to monitor the data
sent, the Bluetooth module will be data capture received, Once
the HC-05 has received the data successfully, the data will be
sent to the main control module by the HC-05 serial port via a
preset data format and baud rate. After the Bluetooth sends out
the data instruction, it will continue to enter the listening mode,
waiting for the next control instruction to send, the process is
shown in Figure 8.
