Bluetooth Home Automation Kit with Arduino Uno + Servos
Bluetooth Home Automation Kit: Build a Flapping-Wing Robot with Arduino Uno & Servos
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Imagine a robotic bird perched near your window that flaps its wings and adjusts its tail pitch every time you get a WhatsApp notification—controlled entirely from your phone. This advanced Arduino kit turns a classic crank-rocker linkage into a flapping-wing mechanism, then layers on Bluetooth control via HC-05 and a custom servo-driven tail for pitch adjustments. You’ll solder, assemble, and program a complete motion system that serves as a unique home automation indicator or interactive desk companion.
What You'll Build
By the end of this 6–8 hour project, you will have a fully functional Bluetooth-controlled ornithopter tail-and-wing demonstrator. The DC motor drives a crank-rocker linkage that converts continuous rotation into realistic flapping motion, while the SG90 servo tilts the tail to direct airflow or visual cues. Your phone becomes the remote—no extra remotes, no tangled wires. It’s a conversation-starting gadget that also teaches core robotics principles.
What You'll Learn
- Design and fabricate a crank-rocker mechanism to convert rotary motion into oscillating flapping
- Interface an Arduino Uno with an L298N motor driver for bi-directional DC motor control
- Establish Bluetooth communication between a smartphone and HC-05 module to send real-time commands
- Solder and wire a complete system including buck converter, flyback diodes, and decoupling capacitors for stable operation

Who This Kit Is For
Engineered for B.Tech ECE/EEE students tackling advanced robotics electives, Smart India Hackathon teams building assistive home-automation prototypes, and ATL Tinkering Lab mentors seeking a challenging motion-control project. If you’ve built an Arduino blink sketch and want to leap into multi-actuator mechanisms with wireless control, this kit will push your soldering and programming skills exactly where they need to go.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code inside the box to chat with the AI companion that knows every connection and code line for this flapping robot. You can also ping us on WhatsApp for a human backup.
How do I control the flapping speed and tail angle from my phone?
The included code sample uses simple Bluetooth serial commands: send ‘F’ followed by a number (0–255) to set flap speed, and ‘T’ with an angle (0–180) to move the tail servo. Any Bluetooth terminal app works.
Can I use this mechanism for something other than a flapping bird?
Absolutely. The crank-rocker system can drive a waving hand, a nodding head, or a ventilation louver. Once you understand the linkage geometry, you can repurpose the controls for any home automation actuator.
Do I need prior soldering experience?
Yes, this is an advanced kit. You’ll solder the diodes, capacitors, and headers onto the prototype boards. The AI companion provides close-up soldering guidance, but if you’re completely new to soldering, consider starting with a beginner-level kit first.
Home Automation — Crank-rocker mechanism driven by DC motor converts rotation to flapping. Tail servo provides pitch control.
