Picaxe 08M Rc Car

Hi guys,

For a while now I have wanted to buy a cheap toy car and make it RC. I was at the cheap shop the other day and found a few $2 toy cars. The cars were super light and did not have much inside of them which made them perfect for the job.

I decided to use the picaxe 08M chip as the brain for this project as I havent really ever used anything other than the standard Start Here Robot board and I wanted to see how powerful this little guy was! My choice of control was IR with a standard Universal IR remote control aslo from the cheap shop! Inside the car is 1 Picaxe 08M 1 Rear modified micro servo 1 Front standard micro servo 1 piezo speaker 2 5mm Green Leds I had to mount the battery pack to the roof of the car but it seems to fit rather nicely on the roof racks! I then taped on the IR receiver to the top of the battery pack.

Im still rather new in the world of robotics but I got the little guy going the way I wanted!

Thanks guys!
