Hacked RC car with Pi, controlled by joycons over a websocket and webapplication
Used ChatGPT for debugging websocket & websocket in python script

I added an autonomous feature with an ultrasonic sensor. If the car detects obstacles, it will turn around and move in an opposite direction. I am pretty proud of how it turned out, especially the wiring involved without a breadboard.
i repurposed the project to be a car which plots images.

I built an RC car that is controlled via joycon over a webapplication. It was working until it broke and now it cant be fixed (probably to do with my network). It was a great learning experience about electronics and networks and I wish to add on more features in the future.
I ran into a networking problem with the websocket, which, for the life of me, I could not fix. I decided to move onto a new project with the RC car.

I modded a new rc car with the same parts as last time, except the two motors dictate steer and throttle, which my code needs to be altered to cover. Next time, I will focus on reworking everything and making sure the websocket end still works, then driving.

replace one of RC motors made small tweaks to driving code must fix pitch.

The throttle works on the car after much debugging. Work on turning later and repair the car itself.

First devlog – the car already works with the pi and the controller works over the websocket and webapplication, so the last step is combining the two.
