Most cheap RC uses two DC motors, one for the direction, and the other to actually move forward and backward.
The aim of this project is to provide a fully-featured and generic plateform to create all kinds of ESP based vehicules.
From custom hardware to high-end API, everything is built from the ground-up.
A first working POC has been made and tested successfully. However, there is still lots of things to do and maintenaing everything myself is not possible.
For now on, ESP12f-based dev board, and L298N. However it should work with any other ESP board - H-bridge couple with minor changes.
The overall architecture is pretty straight forward :
- The ESP board and motor drivers are placed inside the car
- The ESP creates a Wifi AP and start-up a UDP server
- The android smartphone connect to the Wifi AP
- The App communicate starts a UDP client and communicate with the car
