So for school I have been coding and building an r/c vehicle that is controlled via any computer. Currently it is a mess but all that matters to pass is functionality so I will make it look purdy later hehe.
A little about the project:
All the coding was done by me with MPLab on the Pickit 3 demo board (pic 18f45k20). Gearbox currently at a 58:1 gearing (i believe, soon to be 203:1 for more torque to fix turning). Camera mounted on the front using 2 servo motors for pan and tilt, transmits wireless to the computer. Have GPS so it can drive itself though I am having issues parsing the code to get the longitude and latitude, but all data is stored on the microcontroller. also have infrared sensors on front and sides for when it is driving on its own to avoid objects. No build pics due to it mainly being coding. so here is the forward, reverse, and servo test. Enjoy.
