OBJECTIVE Cheap Chinese RC toy cars can be had for about 5 Euros in the local market. The wireless brains behind the majority of these cheap RC toys is a pair of very cheap ICs the TX2 and the RX2. Yup, that’s what they are called. So this tutorial is focused on the TX2/RX2 based remote controlled toys. […]

This instructable shows how to modify an inexpensive RC car so it can be controlled by an on-board microcontroller. You can program the controller to make the car do any number of driving patterns and stunts. Once you have the car being controlled from the on-board controller, you can add sensors for light and sound

I recently got my childhood Lego out and wanted to find a project that I could combine with Arduino and mechatronics. I started off building a digger but then realised a tank would be better because, well tanks are cool!I originally built it to be controlled over Bluetooth from my phone but then wanted to

{This instructable was created in fulfillment of the project requirement of the Makecourse at the University of South Florida (www.makecourse.com).} Inspired by the Wind powered machines built by “Theo Janse” I’ve come up with a design of my own, but with a twist. This design houses two 12volt motors to provide the power, an Arduino,
This is an Instructable of my Arduino RC car Wheel in which I took a cheap RCcar and made it so the Arduino could act as a wheel, controlling the direction it goes automatically. The Arduino RC car Wheel is my first original Arduino design I am proud to say even though the code and

I recently dug up my old RC transmitter and receiver and thought “How can i control my arduino with this?” so i powered on my scope to see what was going on at the receiver. Sure enough, it was sending out the standard PWM signal that servos use. Now I just needed something to control. What’s easy

Required Parts: This project requires two Arduino boards which can be bought from http://www.adafruit.com/category/17 This project uses two Arduino Uno compatible boards. An L293D or other Dual H-Bridge Motor Driver chip will be needed to drive the motors of the RC car. This can be found here: http://www.adafruit.com/products/807 Finally, this project requires the RF transmitter

This project is a RC quadrotor helicopter (quadrocopter, quadcopter, quadricopter, etc). It’s a RC helicopter that uses 4 rotors. You need some pre-requisite skills: How to use Arduino, enough to get started Soldering, wiring, basic electronic skills Basic hand tool operation A quadrotor helicopter flies with 4 spinning propellers on a + shaped frame. When

Drifter is based on a cheap RC toy car I found at Toys’r’us, named ‘Fast lane Monster Drift’. I think it’s the same model Frits has been used in an episode of TLIHR. It doesn’t work well, you get what you pay for. But it is a good hacking platform. There is no much space left for

IP Control Car was launched in 2001. I make the similar function car utilizing commercialized products. The concept of Car No.02 is to utilize commercialized products, and I am an amateur in electrical. So, do not blame me that the system is not sophisticated, i.e. servo & speed controller control system and webcam system are
