Arduino Car with Radio Communication

This is an upgrade on the previously made Arduino Car TB6612FNG using HM-10 Bluetooth module and TB6612FNG motor driver. The Bluetooth communication was discovered to have limited range in the previous project, with this project we would be testing the range of radio communication (nRF24). For this model we would be using a Joystick shield as our controller. We would also test to find if a joystick (relatively newer mode of controlling) is more user-friendly than the traditionally used buttons.

Below are some pictures of this car.

Key components:

  • Arduino Nano

  • nRF24L01

  • TB6612FNG

  • 2 x 14500 (3.7v) batteries and case (with a switch)

  • 2 x DC motors and wheels

  • 1 caster wheel

  • 2 x small breadboards

  • Some wires/dupont cables, some M3 nuts and bolts

  • 3D printed chassis (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1316755)
