RC Car Remodeling
Our project is all about transforming a regular RC car into a high-tech remote-controlled vehicle that you can control with a gaming controller. By adding a microcontroller (Raspberry Pi) to the RC car, we'll create a more intuitive and engaging control system that most users will find easy to use. The modified RC car will have the following features: Gaming controller integration for precise and comfortable control Live camera feed streaming to a mobile app Wireless connectivity for remote operation This project brings together hardware modification, software development and wireless communication to turn a regular RC car into a high-tech gaming-style remote control vehicle. The idea is to make RC car operation more accessible and enjoyable by using familiar gaming controller interfaces while adding modern features like a live video feed and performance tracking. Technical Focus Areas Hardware integration and circuit design Controller input processing and motor control Mobile app development for video streaming and car control Wireless communication and security implementation User interface design for intuitive operation The end result is going to be a modernized RC car that provides a more immersive and user-friendly experience through combining gaming technology with traditional RC vehicles.
