This project consists of a remote controller which pilots a car holding a video camera onboard. It is divided in two main parts:
- user side: the microcontroller reads the user input from the joystick (four potentiometers), elaborates them and then sends those commands through the wireless connection (using a XBee module);
- car side: the microcontroller receives the sent commands (using a XBee module), elaborates them and adjusts the main engine, the steering servomotor and the two servos which move the X-Y axis of the onboard video camera.
The part related to the user side, the project is the following.
