According to TUIK data rate (2012) in our country, disabled people are 12.29% and many of these disabilities are physical disabilities. In this study, control of wheelchair with smart phone was carried out. Wheelchair android program can be used on any android device. Wheelchair control is carried out by using PIC18F4550 and MIT App Inventor 2 Program. PIC controlled card and android device were communicated with the HC‐SR06 bluetooth module and the control was realized.
