R.C Car
R.C car using arduino, some dc motors driven by an l298n, a battery pack, and a nrf24.
Made in 2024
Intro
My brother was always interested in drones. Inspired by him I choose a slightly easier project. This was my first large engineering projects so it took a bit of time.
Driving
To drive the motors I used an l298n. The 1298n is a dual h-bridge motor driver. It can drive 2 motors at once(I needed 2 l298ns in order to drive all 4 motors of the 4wd).
Wheels
My R.C car is a 4 wheel drive with mechanium wheels. I actually got the metal frame, wheels, and motors from a kit. The mechanium wheels can move sideways.
NRF24 and Control
Getting the NRF24 working was very difficult. The nrf24 kept disconnecting and I have to get a power regulation board to get it to work, but sometimes it still disconnects. I used an arduino uno to control the nrf24, and for the controller I used an arduino uno with a nrf24, arduino, and 2 joysticks.
