Hi

Im a newbee so i dont know anything. I would like to make a RC car robot
that has a picaxe 28 and has a incorporated camera that permites me to
"see" what the car sees from a diferent location, like your copter, only
for a computer or radio controller, I would like to have a steering wheel
so that it turns wheen you tur it, a lever that makes the car acellerate
when you push it, it would fantastic if you guys helped me..
Yours truely

No Problem

This first step to obtain this goal is to start gathering information on different MicroControllers. There have been a million discussions on if one should choose a Picaxe or Arduino. Picaxe is a bit more simple, and uses Basic as a language. Arduino is a bit more complicated but more powerful and is programmed in a C-like language.

From there, you will need a small breadboard, LED’s and a few assorted resistors. Start by building a circuit and writing code to get that LED to blink on and off. This small excercise will give you a good idea of what you will need to learn to build your RC car project.

Another option is to buy a robot kit, including the microcontroller, motor driver etc. The “Start Here” robot is a good example of a kit such as this.

Thanks

Yes i agree, this november i am going to make may first robot, one like the start here, with the help of my friend, i am going to use a 28X microcontrollor,

But if i wanted to make a car like that how could i make the video in the camera get to my control?

Thanks

You robot brain willl not do it

What you are looking for is a plain ol’ wireless camera. I would start hitting model airplane websites --they have the kind of wireless camera you would be looking for.

Cameras

Yes

Do you think that this camera would work? http://www.espionagem.com/produto.php?fid=068-196:02563

How could I make the data from the camera-car-picaxe get to may controller,

And how could I program a display visor to display the video?

Thanks
