RC-car

Repository for code used in creating a remote-controlled car. The car is controlled through a python interface, on a laptop on the same network as the car

Devices

The project consists of multiple devices, working together. This section will describe the devices and the connection. The devices are

• Raspberry Pi Zero with camera. This will host the interface to the car, and supply a video feed from its front.
• Propeller Activity Board WX. This octa-core microprocessor will be the heart of the car. It will control the DC-motor, lights etc.

Vehicles

Different vehicle configurations and setups can be created using the repository. As they are created and tested they will be found in the wiki.

Getting started

A guide for setting up and getting started using this repository can be found here.

rc-car's Issues

Pre-application screen

Create screen for finding and choosing Vehicle before launching the application, as to avoid having to specify address/port in code or commandline

Feedback in vehicle controls

Introduce feedback. The RPI returns ack when command is successful, nack otherwise. Use this feedback in the gui, as to avoid de-synchronization between state in vehicle and controller application
