If “4” is assigned to the variable named IncomingData, the stepper motor turns to the left side quickly and at a
certain angle.
If “5” is assigned to the variable named IncomingData, it enters automode. That is, at a certain angle, it turns
right and then left.
4. CONCLUSIONS
With this study, a robot was designed to contribute to the field of physiotherapy and rehabilitation (Figure 2). At
the end of the project, a robot that can be controlled with an application installed on the phone was created for
arm and leg exercises. C and C++ languages and Arduino ide library were used as software language (Figure 3).
