RC Car

For my final project, I'll be making an RC Hot Wheel Car. I chose this project since I've always liked RC cars, and for Fab Academy my final project has remote-control-based features. A successful project would be a small, digitally remote- controlled Hot Wheel that has a camera display that could be projected to a phone. The project is based on the video by Max Imagination in which he made the RC car.  For the project, we used programs such as TinkerCAD to map out the electronics, Arduino for programming, Fusion360 for steering mechanism design, and CorelDraw for skateboard design. For tools, we used drills to remove the bolt from the Hot Wheels, calipers to measure the Hot Wheels parts to scale them up, and soldering irons to make the conversion of the Lippo batteries to work with the ESP. 

1. Program the ESP32S3 Sense to blink.

2. Have the ESP run a simple code to move the servo to a certain degree.

3. Repeat step 2 with a DC motor.

4. Now set up a web server that can control the servo and the DC motor separately.

5. Set up the web server to control both the servo and the DC motor from one control.

6. Add wheels to the DC motor and a steering system connected to wheels to the servo to give the motors something to move.

7. Build a body around all of the electronics so that it's able to move around.

8. Do the web server step again, but this time for an ESP with a camera attachment on it.

9. Add the camera onto the car somewhere and add batteries to both.

*All of this is explained better in the journal entries, this is just a broad overview.
