ARDUINO OBSTACLE AVOIDING CAR - A TUTORIAL GUIDE
I wanted to work on building a robotic car that could maneuver on its own and avoid obstacles. This project was an extension to the ' Smartphone Controlled RC Car ' project I worked on last year during the pandemic. You can read more about that project here . ARDUINO OBSTACLE AVOIDING CAR - A TUTORIAL GUIDE Components Used Arduino Uno L298N motor driver HC-SR04 distance sensor Servo Motor Cardboard and wheels for mounting everything Description For the project I attached the HC-SR04 distance sensor on top of a servo motor. The servo motor would rotate the distance sensor which could then scan the room and send data to the Arduino microcontroller. If the sensor detected an obstacle within its proximity, the Arduino would then via the L298N - motor driver change the RPM of either of the car's tires - effectively changing the direction. Here is the video I made detailing every step through the entire build of the project. :)
