🔥Wheels and Wires: Building My Arduino Self-Driving Car🚗👩‍💻

Samreen Ansari - Mar 3 - - Dev Community

Introduction

Welcome to the "Wheels & Wires" series, where I'll document my journey of building an Arduino-based self-driving car. Join me as I dive into embedded programming and real-time systems, learning as I build, troubleshoot, and discover. I will also try to make this series like a guide, providing detailed insights, code, and solutions to the challenges encountered along the way.

 

Project Goals

The goal of this project is to construct a self-driving car using an Arduino, actuators, sensors, and a path-finding algorithm. There will be a camera to track the position of the car relative to a goal and detect obstacles in its path. Using data from the camera and onboard sensors, the Arduino will receive wireless instructions to control its movement.

 

What to Expect

In each post, I'll provide insights into the challenges I face, the solutions I come up with, and the progress I make. From coding hurdles to hardware integrations, I'll cover it all.

 

What's Next

Stay tuned for the next installment, where we'll dive into the details of setting up the project environment and getting started with the hardware.
