##Control an RC car with ESP8266 over WiFi
This repository contains code to control an RC car over WiFi, the work is based on indrekots's esp8266 rc car controller.
For building details,plz refer to ##this article.
##Requirements - Hardware
- NodeMCU(ESP8266)
- Motor Driver Board L298N
- Optical Encoder Sensors
- Battery Pack
- RC Car Kit
- Cables
##Requirements - Software
- Python 3
- Arduino IDE
##Usage
Build the RC Car Kit.
Connect battery pack with L298N with (VCC-VCC/GND-GND)
Connect L298N with NodeMCU(5V-VCCIN/GND-GND/IN1-GPIO13/IN1-GPIO12/IN1-GPIO14/IN1-GPIO16)
Connect Optical Encoder Sensors with NodeMCU
Connect OLED Screen with NodeMCU
Open esp8266-rc-car with Arduino IDE, change WiFi SSID and password.
##Change Points
const char* ssid = "SSID"; //Enter your wifi network SSID
const char* password = "PASSWORD"; //Enter your wifi network password##Remote Control UI Open your terminal and run the python script with
python wifi_controller_gui.py --host=<IP address of the car>Press W, A, S, D keys or drage the circle in the middle of UI to control your RC car.
