Hi,
I am aiming to control a small RC car using Wifi (dnano RC car: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Kyosho-dNaNo-Nissan-Skyline-GT-R-V/dp/B0037YA8HG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1497528938&sr=8-1&keywords=dnano++rc+car).
The aim of the project is to change the elctronics inside the RC car with an arduino pro mini (5V or 3.3V haven't decided yet) and use the ESP8266 WiFi Module.
My question is, is it possible to have the arduino read the PWM signals sent accross WiFi module and also have multiple sensors (an accelerometer and a gyroscope) read by the arduino and have that data sent accross the wifi module using only the one UART that it has?
If not, what is the minimum that can be done using the tools provided above?
I am very limited to space on the RC car as it is very small so I need the modules that are used to be as small as possible.
I am very new to this and I understand that some of the things that I have said might seem impossible but pelase bear with me. The aim of the project is very simila to this: http://control.ee.ethz.ch/~racing/
Thanks!
