Hi, this is supposed to be my final year group project. A solar toy car that can be controlled from a PC.
--About the project---
The solar panel can give around 8-10V output. Then the output goes through a boost converter to charge up the battery (planning to use a battery from the motor bike). The output from the battery will be used to power up the motor for the solar car.
We intend to develop a program using Visual Basic as interface to control the car which communicates with the user using an RF link. The user should be able to control the movements of the car and the car should feedback the status of the car for monitoring.
-----
The planning seems good but the problem is that it seems mighty hard to implement because it involves electronics, programming, communications and mechanical.
We are still in the planning stage but having problems with the car controlling part using RF transmission due to lack of knowledge. Anyone have any experience on this kind of thing? welcome all the helpful advice that i can get.
