//Arduino Bluetooth Controlled Car
//Before uploading the code you have to install the necessary library
//Note - Disconnect the Bluetooth Module before hiting the upload button otherwise you'll get
compilation error message.
//AFMotor Library https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-motor-shield/library-install
//After downloading the library open Arduino IDE >> go to sketch >> Include Libray >> ADD. ZIP
Libray >> Select the downloaded
//ZIP File >> Open it >> Done
//Now You Can Upload the Code without any problem but make sure the bt module isn't
connected with Arduino while uploading code
