Controlled Car

MVP1 completed!

..if no one will buy me one, I'll make it myself

I never got my remote control car. I always wanted it but my parents never bought me that Tyco Scorcher of my dreams. Since buying my 3D printer, I've been creating projects that intertwined printing and coding, thus I saw this as my opportunity!
The main purpose of this project is to dust off my CAD design, try new printing designs, improve my coding, and learn about hardware and bus communications.


Skillset

  • CAD modeling
  • Python
  • 3D Printing
  • Raspberry Pi
  • Circuit Design
  • I2C Protocol

Process

I will develop this project in several MVPs, building off from the previous one, and improving my design. I'd like to design and print all car parts, and code all logics for the car. Although there are several plug-and-play circuit boards to control the car components, I will only use a Raspberry Pi.
