RC Car Project

Overview

Welcome to the RC Car Project! This project aims to build a remote-controlled car using ESP32 and Raspberry Pi, incorporating path-finding techniques. It's an exciting venture for hobbyists and engineers alike, keen on exploring electronics and programming in a hands-on manner.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following:

• A Raspberry Pi
• An ESP32 module
• Basic knowledge of electronics and programming

Installation

Clone the Repository

Start by cloning the project repository:

git clone https://github.com/MarikTik/RC-Car.git
cd RC-Car

Environment Setup.

For Linux and macOS Users:

1. Open your terminal.

2. Edit your ~/.bashrc file (Linux) or ~/.bash_profile file (macOS) using a text editor, e.g., nano:

nano ~/.bashrc  # For Linux
nano ~/.bash_profile  # For macOS

Add the following lines at the end of the file:

export WIFI_SSID="your_wifi_ssid"
export WIFI_PASSWORD="your_wifi_password"

1. Replace your_wifi_ssid and your_wifi_password with your actual WiFi credentials.

2. Save and exit the editor (Ctrl+O, Enter, Ctrl+X for nano).

3. Reload or source to your file:

source ~/.bashrc  # For Linux
source ~/.bash_profile  # For macOS

For Windows Users:

Open the Start menu and search for "Environment Variables".
Click on "Edit the system environment variables".
