This is my first devlog, really excited


To start the backstory of this is that I wanted to make a silly lil vehicle for myself and leave it there, So as anyone would do, I looked up a tutorial, and all I saw was projects with 3d printing (wich i dont have) and electronics that their only purpose is a vehicle, so I kinda got pissed off and made it myself (engineer mentality) and it took me a bit more than I expected so I think it is worth posting. In addition, I wanted to develop it further, but due to me not having the resources, and that it alr works, I left it here, tho I can help with the 2 most important things I wanted to add; Bluetooth and some kind of suspension, bc I alr have them mapped out


The funcionality is pretty simple, the car can go back and forth, turn and no more (Its just a base what did you expect) but it can be improved in many ways and its easy to mod and build. The sole purpose is just being simple and needing little resources


Wich speaking of, you will need: An arduino (or any microcontroler tho esp32 is the one i advise bc it has bluetooth), jumper cables, a L293D integrated circuit, a protoboard, 4 buttons, a DC motor, a servo, wheels, axles, and a chasis (left one in github, check it out)


The detailed instructions and details will be on github, feel free to ask any question (Dont mind my poorly made car pls)

@AVD

I love how you saw your gap and took it! (very engineer mindset) - I’m loving how far it’s come with such limited tooling! What do you plan to use bluetooth for? :D

@Livinx77

@AVD I recently bought a bt module that will let me conect trough a 3rd party website like wink to the Arduino and with this i would be able to use less wiring and get rid of the buttons once and for all. Im all ears to advice and i would really want to make a life sized one for me or add smth like a radar
