I want to make an Arduino based RC car with controller i do have the car and i do have a controller i found but i need something to receive the inputs so i can know the commands each button do what should i do which receiver should i buy please help
and please suggests somethings to do i have an Arduino Uno R3
What car and what controller do you have? Can you post pics?
What car?
Hobby grade?
If so, do you have pin access to the radio receiver? Which radio receiver?
Toy grade?
Can you get access to the radio receiver?
What model RC car is it?
i have a kid's toy RC controller with 27MHz and the car is an F1 toy car you probably asking why do i do it if i can just use the rc car with its rc remote because i want to modify it to be faster better and even make an autopilot system
Can you post pictures? You are better off just making your own controller rather than trying to get it to work with a car that it didn't originally go with. Or does it go with the car, you haven't specified that.
You also need to see how much space you have to work with assuming you still want it to look like an F1 car and not a Frankenstein's monster. (fire bad)
the controller is binded to the f1 toy car but i want it to work with the arduino and i will put it instead of the f1 car's motherboard
So you want to add extra functionality. Well unless the controller and the cars circuitry has extra channels you can use, you won't be able to do this. What you could do is remove the original circuitry from both and replace it with your own. Can you take apart the controller and see what the circuitry looks like? You might be able to salvage some of it but the original IC will need to be removed.
Again, please post pictures.
i mean its a board the model is JG-7121T
Yea, that means nothing. It's a generic board made by whichever company designed it.
Can you please post pictures. I can't help you if I can't see what I am working with.
ill send later
Hello! my name is Mikey! i have worked with Arduino for few years now. If you are looking for a project to use as your first RC car build, i would recommend the Elegoo Uno R3 Smart Robot car! you build it yourself at home and it has step by step instructions on how to build it!
plus it also has an app the you can view the camera on(if you have robot car V4)
You see I already have a car I just need to some make the Arduino learn the commands any suggestions that I can get about using the serial monitor to print anything that it’s receiving form the receiver / transmitter or whatever
Here’s the photo of the car and the controller don’t worry about the capacity of the car I’ll find a solution
Get yourself 2 Arduino Pro Micro (8Mhz) they must be the 8Mhz and not 16Mhz
Get 2 NRF24L01 modules, I recommend these here or one of those and one of these here
You will also need a motor driver, I like these here but if you can find space, you may want to get one of these L298N.
You will also need batteries, I would go with 7.4v Lipo batteries 2500mAh or whichever you can fit. And you will also need a 3.3v regulator like this here for those NRF modules.
I am not sure what you want to use for steering, but I would probably go with a servo if you have the space. A small 9g servo should be enough. Link here
These are what I would use and have already used for my RC projects. The rest is up to you.
