JetCar

The mini self-driving car project

The JetCar project is based on ideas from JetBot and JetRacer. It utilizes the Jetson Nano Developer Kit, the OLED display and battery pack from JetBot and the steering servo control from JetRacer. But this project includes a completely new mechanical design, as compact as possible with these components. The goal is not speed or road following alone, but navigating on a street map autonomously, recognizing intersections and turning left or right on user request when the turn is allowed. To do this, JetCar has to recognize intersections and a few signs on the street.

The project is organized into following folders:

1. firmware

   • jetcar: Jupyter notebooks and python files to run in the JetCar
   • offline_debug: python files for offline debugging of firmware recordings
   • SD card install script
     
     

2. mechanical

   • step_files: all step files of the car design
   • stl_files: all stl files for 3D printer
     
     

3. tools

   • bin: Windows executables
   • source: Full C# source code projects for the executables
   • Jupyter notebook for training
