A robotic PiCar that can be controlled from your phone
===========================
It is nowhere near feature complete, or even working slightly.
It's currently meant to work on a car that has one irsensor (to warn if something is detected behind the car) A motor controller that can drive two channels. I wire two motors to the left and two to the right. For voltage reporting an ADC is needed for the pi.
I use a 7.4v 2ah Li-Ion battery pack. Wired into a bucker adjusted to output 5.1v to the pi usb power input and a booster configured to send 11v into a motor controller.
- Step-up Voltage converter
- Step-down Voltage Bucker
- Motor Driver
- PiCar-client An android app to control the car.
- Parse angle and percent strength into usable horizontal and vertical strengths.
- Implement logic to use these values to drive the car.
- Add config file parsing ability.
- Add setup.py so that dependencies are pulled in automatically.
- Add battery voltage reporting.
