Arduino RC Car + Logitech Wheel and Pads

Hi LMR.

 

I recently got into the robotics world by getting myself an Arduino and different parts.

 

This first project is a RC Car fitted with a Arduino board, motor driver and bluetooth module.

Parts list:

The car is controlled through a Bluetooth Bee module and a Processing application. The Processing application picks up the data from the Logitech Wheel and Pads and sends it to the Arduino which then tells the motors what to do.

 

Possible updates:

Better steering. Right now the code is thrown together rather quickly.

Add backing lights and brake lights.

Get bigger RC car to fit with the arduino and control.

 

Video is recorded with HTC Desire, hence the semi crappy quality.
